Reducing power through compiler-directed barrier synchronization elimination
Interprocessor synchronization, while extremely important for ensuring execution correctness, can be very costly in terms of both power and performance overheads. Unfortunately, m...

Efficient and extensible security enforcement using dynamic data flow analysis
Current taint tracking systems suffer from high overhead and a lack of generality. In this paper, we solve both of these issues with an extensible system that is an order of magni...
