Exploring the effect of block shapes on the performance of sparse kernels
In this paper we explore the impact of the block shape on blocked and vectorized versions of the Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication (SpMV) kernel and build upon previous work by ...

A Comparative Study of Blocking Storage Methods for Sparse Matrices on Multicore Architectures
Sparse Matrix-Vector multiplication (SpMV) is a very challenging computational kernel, since its performance depends greatly on both the input matrix and the underlying architectur...

Design of a Parallel Vector Access Unit for SDRAM Memory Systems
We are attacking the memory bottleneck by building a “smart” memory controller that improves effective memory bandwidth, bus utilization, and cache efficiency by letting appl...

Memory System Support for Irregular Applications
Because irregular applications have unpredictable memory access patterns, their performance is dominated by memory behavior. The Impulse con gurable memory controller will enable s...
