A pre-requisite for successful cell division in any organism is synthesis of an accurate copy of the genetic information needed for survival. This copying process is a mammoth task, given the amount of DNA that must be duplicated, but potential blocks to replication fork movement also pose a challenge for genome duplication. Damage to the template inhibits the replication machinery but proteins...

The scheduling of Out-Tree task graphs is one of the critical factors in implementing the compilers of parallel languages and improving the performance of parallel computing. Although there are a few heterogeneity based algorithms in the literature suitable for scheduling Out-Tree task graphs, they usually require significantly high scheduling costs and may not deliver good quality schedules wi...
