Quantifying the cost of context switch
Measuring the indirect cost of context switch is a challenging problem. In this paper, we show our results of experimentally quantifying the indirect cost of context switch using ...

Implementing Sequentially Consistent Shared Objects Using Broadcast and Point-to-Point Communication
A distributed algorithm that implements a sequentially consistent collection of shared read/update objects using a combination of broadcast and point-to-point communication is pre...

Fine-grain dynamic instruction placement for L0 scratch-pad memory
We present a fine-grain dynamic instruction placement algorithm for small L0 scratch-pad memories (spms), whose unit of transfer can be an individual instruction. Our algorithm ca...

Architecture considerations for tracing incoherent rays
This paper proposes a massively parallel hardware architecture for efficient tracing of incoherent rays, e.g. for global illumination. The general approach is centered around hier...

A light-weight fairness mechanism for chip multiprocessor memory systems
Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) memory systems suffer from the effects of destructive thread interference. This interference reduces performance predictability because it depends heavil...
