Abstract. In order to take full advantage of high-end computing platforms, scientific applications often require modifications to source codes, and to their build systems that ge...
In the past decade, processor speed has become significantly faster than memory speed. Small, fast cache memories are designed to overcome this discrepancy, but they are only effe...
Formal analysis remains outside the mainstream of system design practice. Interactive methods and tools are regarded by some to be on the margin of useful research in this area. Al...
Memory consistency litmus tests are small parallel programs that are designed to illustrate subtle differences between memory consistency models by exhibiting different outcomes...
High-level power estimation, when given only a high-level design specification such as a functional or RTL description, requires high-level estimation of the circuit average acti...
