Speculative Optimizations for Parallel Programs on Multicores
The advent of multicores presents a promising opportunity for exploiting fine grained parallelism present in programs. Programs parallelized in the above fashion, typically involv...

A performance analysis of local synchronization
Synchronization is often necessary in parallel computing, but it can create delays whenever the receiving processor is idle, waiting for the information to arrive. This is especia...

A Mechanism for Speculative Memory Accesses Following Synchronizing Operations
In order to reduce the overhead of synchronizing operations of shared memory multiprocessors, this paper proposes a mechanism, named specMEM, to execute memory accesses following ...
