Multi-core organizations increasingly support multiple threads per core. Threads on a core usually share a single first-level data cache, so thread schedulers must try to minimize ...
Discrete stochastic models (DSM) are widely used in various application fields today. Proxel-based simulation can outperform discrete event-based approaches in the analysis of smal...
A coarse-grain multithreaded processor can effectively hide long memory latencies by quickly switching to an alternate task when the active task issues a memory request, improving...
This study examined the interplay among processor speed, cluster interconnect and file I/O, using parallel applications to quantify interactions. We focused on a common case wher...
Multimedia instruction set extensions have become a prominent feature in desktop microprocessor platforms, promising superior performance on a wide range of floating-point and int...
