Not surprisingly, such sequential efforts, no matter how massive and costly, simply haven't added up.
One of the simplest (yet surprisingly rich) problem in sequential decision making is the so-called multi-armed bandit.
Undergraduate courses tend to focus on sequential programming not surprisingly, since the industry is still dominated by sequential code except in a few specialist niches, and most programmers spend their time maintaining or extending old code, rather than writing entirely new code.
In our study, surprisingly, PCR results for sequential nasal swab specimens from 16 patients infected by pandemic (H1N1) 2009 and treated with oseltamivir were negative within 3 days after therapy for only 9 (56%); indeed, for 3 (19%) patients, viral genome could be detected >5 days after antiviral treatment began.
"Surprisingly," the study said, the sequential lineups proved less reliable than the simultaneous ones.
This is even more surprisingly by considering that most of the advanced algorithms in PGSolver are sequential.
Surprisingly, however, Samsung and Sony were the only OEMs to see any sequential growth in shipments.
In non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), randomised studies comparing sequential vs concurrent treatment have shown an advantage to the concurrent approach; perhaps not surprisingly, there is an associated greater toxicity.
Surprisingly, the multi-thread versions of MrSim and the Hadoop cluster exhibit slower validation times than the sequential version of MrSim; depending on the properties, these tools are sometimes 40 times slower than the sequential version of MrSim.
Surprisingly, when running the experiment with four cores, which corresponds to a standard desktop PC, PANDAseq is slower than for the sequential run, whereas PEAR and FLASH are equally fast and twice as fast as PANDAseq.
