This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
Although most online learning environments are predominately text based, researchers have argued that representational support for the conceptual structure of a problem would addr...

Past studies have shown that objects are created and then die in phases. Thus, one way to sustain good garbage collection efficiency is to have a large enough heap to allow many ...
When integrating software threads together to boost performance on a processor with instruction-level parallel processing support, it is rarely clear which code regions should be ...
Clusters of high-end workstations and PCs are currently used in many application domains to perform large-scale computations or as scalable servers for I/O bound tasks. Although c...
