In this paper, we evaluate two different approaches for the compiler-based parallelisation of a C program for MPEG-2 decoding. The first approach experiments with a commercial auto...
We describe a system for specifying the effects of actions. Unlike those commonly used in AI planning, our system uses an action description language that allows one to specify t...
We report on initial experiments in tree locking schemes for compiled database applications. Such applications have a repository style of architecture in which a collection of sof...
Optimizations aimed at reducing the impact of memory operations on execution speed have long concentrated on improving cache performance. These efforts achieve a reasonable level...
OpenMP has gained wide popularity as an API for parallel programming on shared memory and distributed shared memory platforms. It is also a promising candidate to exploit the emer...
