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 ...

Researchers have devised an "absurdly fast" algorithm to solve the problem of finding the fastest flow through a network.

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 ...

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 ...

Algorithm promises to greatly streamline solutions to the 'max flow' problem.

The capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) is the problem in which a set of identical vehicles located at a central depot is to be optimally routed to supply customers with known demands subject ...

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 ...

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 ...
