Scalability of clusters and MPPs is typically discussed in terms of limits on growth: something which grows at a rate of O(log p) (where p is the number of processors) is said to ...
A program analysis tool can play an important role in helping users understand and improve OpenMP codes. Dragon is a robust interactive program analysis tool based on the Open64 co...
In contrast to the common belief that OpenMP requires data-parallel extensions to scale well on architectures with non-uniform memory access latency, recent work has shown that it ...
Efficiency of synchronization mechanisms can limit the parallel performance of many shared-memory applications. In addition, the ever increasing performance gap between processor...
As on-chip integration matures, single-chip system designers must not only be concerned with component-level issues such as performance and power, but also with onchip system-leve...
