Computations on two-dimensional arrays such as matrices and images are one of the most fundamental and ubiquitous things in computational science and its vast application areas, bu...
Tree contraction algorithms, whose idea was first proposed by Miller and Reif, are important parallel algorithms to implement efficient parallel programs manipulating trees. Desp...
We present a parallel data processor centered around a programming model of so called Parallelization Contracts (PACTs) and the scalable parallel execution engine Nephele [18]. Th...
This paper presents COBRA (Continuous Binary ReAdaptation), a runtime binary optimization framework, for multithreaded applications. It is currently implemented on Itanium 2 based...
