The growth in complexity of modern systems makes it increasingly difficult to extract high-performance. The software stacks for such systems typically consist of multiple layers a...
Efficient performance tuning of parallel programs is often hard. In this paper we describe an approach that uses a uni-processor execution of a multithreaded program as reference ...
Embedded processor performance is dependent on both the underlying architecture and the compiler optimisations applied. However, designing both simultaneously is extremely difficu...

—The contribution of memory latency to execution time continues to increase, and latency hiding mechanisms become ever more important for efficient processor design. While high-...
Branch mispredictions can have a major performance impact on high-performance processors. Multipath execution has recently been introduced to help limit the misprediction penaltie...
