We introduce dependence-based pre-computation as a complement to history-based target prediction schemes. We present pre-computation in the context of virtual function calls (v-ca...
The memory consistency model supported by a multiprocessor directly affects its performance. Thus, several attempts have been made to relax the consistency models to allow for mor...

This paper makes a case for using multi-core processors to simultaneously achieve transient-fault tolerance and performance enhancement. Our approach is extended from a recent late...
This paper presents the study of running several core multimedia applications on a simultaneous multithreading (SMT) architecture and derives design principles for multimedia soft...
