The memory consistency model in parallel programming controls the order in which operations performed by one thread may be observed by another. Language designers have been reluct...
Register allocation is one of the most important optimizations a compiler performs. Conventional graphcoloring based register allocators are fast and do well on regular, RISC-like...
