Efficiency of synchronization mechanisms can limit the parallel performance of many shared-memory applications. In addition, the ever increasing performance gap between processor...
Pointer bugs associated with dynamically-allocated objects resulting in out-of-bounds memory access are an important class of software bugs. Because such bugs cannot be detected e...

This paper describes the design of a dynamic branchpredictorfor a VLIW processor. The developed branch predictor predicts the direction of a branch, i.e., taken or not taken, and ...
Transactional Memory (TM) simplifies parallel programming by supporting atomic and isolated execution of user-identified tasks. To date, TM programming has required the use of l...
