Finding the most efficient way to transport items across a network like the U.S. highway system or the Internet is a problem that has taxed mathematicians and computer scientists for decades. To ...

The maximum-flow problem, or max flow, is one of the most basic problems in computer science. MIT researchers, together with colleagues at Yale and the University of Southern California, have ...

The European PRACE organization has published a series of excellent whitepapers on scalable algorithms. Produced as part of the Work Package 8 of the PRACE 1IP Project, the most recent paper is ...

The question of how best to transport items across a network–be that traffic over the Internet, or cars over the U.S. highway system–is one that has challenged mathematicians and computer scientists ...

Network slowdowns could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a superfast new algorithm. The breakthrough offers a dramatically faster solution to a problem that has been plaguing computer scientists ...

Need to rapidly transport goods across a country or speed the flow of web traffic? Take a souped-up algorithm for a test drive. Finding the optimal route for moving stuff through a network is called ...
