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...
We study the issue of performance prediction on the SGIPower Challenge, a typical SMP. On such a platform, the cost of memory accesses depends on their locality and on contention ...

Ever increasing performance requirements have elevated deeply pipelined architectures to a standard even in the embedded processor domain, requiring the incorporation of dynamic b...
This paper presents the influence of the loop nest splitting source code optimization on the worst-case execution time (WCET). Loop nest splitting minimizes the number of executed...
Multi-core processors, with low communication costs and high availability of execution cores, will increase the use of execution and compilation models that use short threads to e...
