Systems and methods are disclosed for preprocessing caller-agent pairs in a contact routing center, along with an intelligent routing system. A method includes determining at least one agent data for each agent of a set of agents, determining at least one caller data for each caller of a set of callers, and determining a score for each possible caller-agent pair of the set of agents and the set of callers using the agent data and the caller data in a pattern matching algorithm. The scores for each possible caller-agent pair may then be stored, e.g., in a look-up table, for retrieval, where matching a caller of the set of callers to an agent of the set of agents is based on the previously determined or calculated scores. For example, the caller-agent pair having the best score of all potential caller-agent pairs may be connected.

Provided is a complier which optimizes parallel processing. The complier records the number of execution cores, which is the number of processor cores that execute a target program. First, the compiler detects a dominant path, which is a candidate of an execution path to be consecutively executed by a single processor core, from a target program. Subsequently, the compiler selects dominant paths with the number not larger than the number of execution cores, and generates clusters of tasks to be executed by a multi-core processor in parallel or consecutively. After that, the compiler computes an execution time for which each of the generated clusters is executed by the processor cores with the number equal to one or each of a plurality natural numbers selected from the natural numbers not larger than the number of execution cores. Then, the compiler selects the number of processor cores to be assigned for execution of each of the clusters based on the computed execution time.

A method for stacking cases on a pallet includes supplying cases to a buffer, determining physical characteristics of buffer cases including dimensions of a case base and case height, and determining available positions on the pallet where a buffer case can be placed. Rules for selecting a case from the buffer for placement on the pallet are applied to at least a portion of the buffer cases to identify a selected buffer case that satisfies at least one of the rules and a corresponding place on the pallet for the selected case. Then the selected case is removed from the buffer and placed on the pallet in the corresponding place by an industrial robot.

A distributed processing system, program product and method of executing a computer program distributed across a plurality of computers. First, interested participants register and provide a commitment for available excess computer capacity. Participants may enter a number of available hours and machine characteristics. A normalized capacity may be derived from the machine characteristics and a normalized excess capacity may be derived from the number of hours committed for the participant. New registrants may be assigned benchmark tasks to indicate likely performance. Parties may purchase capacity for executing large computer programs and searches. The computer program is partitioned into multiple independent tasks of approximately equal size and the tasks are distributed to participants according to available excess capacity. A determination is made whether each distributed task will execute within a selected range of other distributed tasks and, if not, tasks may be reassigned. The likelihood that a task will complete may be based on the participant's past performance. As each task is completed, the completing participant is checked to determine if the task is on schedule. Any task assigned to computers that are found to be behind schedule may be reassigned to other participants. A check is made to determined whether each task is assigned to at least one participant and several tasks may be assigned to multiple participants. Once all tasks are complete, the best result is selected for each task. Each participant may be compensated for normalized excess capacity and that compensation and charges to requesting parties may be based on total available normalized capacity.
