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 ...

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 ...

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. Research could boost the efficiency even of huge networks like the Internet. Finding the most efficient way to transport ...

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 ...
