We study the stochastic machine replenishment problem, which is a canonical special case of closed multiclass queuing systems in Markov decision theory. The problem models the sche...
Chip multi-processors (CMP) are rapidly emerging as an important design paradigm for both high performance and embedded processors. These machines provide an important performance...

Load balancing and data locality are the two most important factors in the performance of parallel programs on distributed-memory multiprocessors. A good balancing scheme should e...
Current microprocessors aggressively exploit instructionlevel parallelism (ILP) through techniques such as multiple issue, dynamic scheduling, and non-blocking reads. Recent work ...

Compiler optimizations are often driven by specific assumptions about the underlying architecture and implementation of the target machine. For example, when targeting shared-mem...
