The synergy of software and hardware leads to efficient application expression profile (AEP) not only in terms of execution time and energy but also optimal architecture usage. We...
There has been much work recently on improving the locality performance of loop nests in scientific programs through the use of loop as well as data layout optimizations. However,...
