In a single second a modern processor can execute billions of instructions. Obtaining a bird’s eye view of the behavior of a program at these speeds can be a difficult task whe...
The trend in workstation hardware is towards symmetric shared-memory multiprocessors (SMPs). User expectations are for (largely) automatic exploitation of parallelismon an SMP, si...
The importance of fault tolerance at the processor architecture level has been made increasingly important due to rapid advancements in the design and usage of high performance de...
