We address the problem of instruction selection for Multi-Output Instructions (MOIs), producing more than one result. Such inherently parallel hardware instructions are very commo...
Chip-multiprocessors are quickly gaining momentum in all segments of computing. However, the practical success of CMPs strongly depends on addressing the difficulty of multithread...
