Computer programming may seem like magic these days, but most programs are built from conceptual steps that use visual aids to work out how the program needs to flow. Each function of a program can be ...

The minimum cost flow problem is to determine a least cost shipment of a commodity through a network G = (N, A) in order to satisfy demands at certain nodes from available supplies at other nodes. In ...

A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

This paper presents two new scaling algorithms for the minimum cost network flow problem, one a primal cycle canceling algorithm, the other a dual cut canceling algorithm. Both algorithms scale a ...

Altera and Mentor Graphics' Catapult C synthesis group have collaborated to help system architects squeeze the most performance out of the DSP blocks Altera includes in its Cyclone II, Cyclone III, ...

Computer scientists at ETH Zurich have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum ...
