We present a novel mechanism, called meeting point thread characterization, to dynamically detect critical threads in a parallel region. We define the critical thread the one with...
This paper proposes and evaluates hardware mechanisms for supporting prescient instruction prefetch--an approach to improving single-threaded application performance by using help...

Abstract—Widespread emergence of multicore processors will spur development of parallel applications, exposing programmers to degrees of hardware concurrency hitherto unavailable...
This work presents a novel approach to filter synthesis on a field programmable analog array (FPAA) architecture using a genetic algorithm (GA). First, a Matlab model of the FPA...
