Cost Evaluation of Synchronization Algorithms for Multicore Architectures, the Law and other Social Sciences

In a multicore environment, a major focus is represented by the synchronization among threads and processes. Since synchronization mechanisms strongly affect the performance of multithread algorithms, the selection of an effective synchronization approach is critical for multicore environments. In this chapter, the cost of the main existing synchronization techniques is estimated. The current investigation covers both hardware and software solutions. A comparative analysis highlights benefits and drawbacks of the considered approaches. The results are intended to represent a useful aid for researchers and practitioners interested in optimization of parallel algorithms.[1]

Cuckoo Search Algorithm for Solving Real Industrial Multi-objective Scheduling Problems, the Law and other Social Sciences

A multistage hybrid flow shop scheduling problem is considered in this chapper with the objective of minimizing the makespan and mean flow time. Since the problem is NP-hard in nature, many heuristics and meta-heuristics were developed by the researchers. cuckoo search algorithm is one of the recently developed meta–heuristic algorithms inspired by the social behavior of cuckoos. The cuckoo search algorithm is presented in this subject to solve the hybrid flow shop scheduling problems. To illustrate the proposed algorithm, data sets from a steel furniture manufacturing company are used. The computational results show that the proposed algorithm is better than many other algorithms.[1]
