A Brief Introduction to Temporality and Causality
Kamran Karimi
Causality is a non-obvious concept that is often considered to be related to temporality. In this paper we present a number of past and present approaches to the definition of temp…
Investigating the Performance of an Adiabatic Quantum Optimization Processor
Kamran Karimi, Neil G. Dickson, Firas Hamze +6
Adiabatic quantum optimization offers a new method for solving hard optimization problems. In this paper we calculate median adiabatic times (in seconds) determined by the minimum…
A Performance Comparison of CUDA and OpenCL
Kamran Karimi, Neil G. Dickson, Firas Hamze
CUDA and OpenCL are two different frameworks for GPU programming. OpenCL is an open standard that can be used to program CPUs, GPUs, and other devices from different vendors, while…
Generation and Interpretation of Temporal Decision Rules
Kamran Karimi, Howard J. Hamilton
We present a solution to the problem of understanding a system that produces a sequence of temporally ordered observations. Our solution is based on generating and interpreting a s…
High-Performance Physics Simulations Using Multi-Core CPUs and GPGPUs in a Volunteer Computing Context
Kamran Karimi, Neil G. Dickson, Firas Hamze
This paper presents two conceptually simple methods for parallelizing a Parallel Tempering Monte Carlo simulation in a distributed volunteer computing context, where computers belo…
