Improving Performance of OpenCL on CPUs
Abstract. Data-parallel languages like OpenCL and CUDA are an important means to exploit the computational power of today’s computing devices. In this paper, we deal with two asp...

Optimizing Synchronization Operations for Remote Memory Communication Systems
Synchronization operations, such as fence and locking, are used in many parallel operations accessing shared memory. However, a process which is blocked waiting for a fence operat...

Effective Fine-Grain Synchronization for Automatically Parallelized Programs Using Optimistic Synchronization Primitives
As shared-memory multiprocessors become the dominant commodity source of computation, parallelizing compilers must support mainstream computations that manipulate irregular, point...

An On-the-Fly Reference Counting Garbage Collector for Java
Reference counting is not naturally suitable for running on multiprocessors. The update of pointers and reference counts requires atomic and synchronized operations. We present a ...

Fast Synchronization on Scalable Cache-Coherent Multiprocessors using Hybrid Primitives
This paper presents a new methodology for implementing fast synchronization on scalable cache-coherent multiprocessors, through the use of hybrid primitives. Hybrid primitives lev...
