Speculative parallelization can provide significant sources of additional thread-level parallelism, especially for irregular applications that are hard to parallelize by conventio...
Abstract. This paper presents the design, implementation and experimental evaluation of a practical region-based partial dead code elimination (PDE) algorithm on predicated code in...
We present an extension to an existing SPARC V8 instruction set simulator, SimICS, to support accurate profiling of branches and instruction cache misses. SimICS had previously su...
This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
Neural networks were evolved through genetic algorithms to focus minimax search in the game of Othello. At each level of the search tree, the focus networks decide which moves are...
