Rapid system understanding is required in the planning, feasibility assessment and cost estimating phases of a system renovation project. In this paper, we apply a number of analy...
Good spatial locality alleviates both the latency and bandwidth problem of memory by boosting the effect of prefetching and improving the utilization of cache. However, convention...

Understanding why the performance of a multithreaded program does not improve linearly with the number of cores in a sharedmemory node populated with one or more multicore process...
Loops are the main time consuming part of programs based on floating point computations. The performance of the loops is limited either by recurrences in the computation or by the...
