Motivated by the study of algorithmic problems in the domain of information security, in this paper, we study the complexity of a new class of computations over a collection of va...
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...
Aggressive technology scaling into the nanometer regime has led to a host of reliability challenges in the last several years. Unlike onchip caches, which can be efficiently prot...
