This paper describes the challenges presented by singlechip parallel media processors (PMPs). These machines integrate multiple parallel function units, instruction execution, and...
In superscalar architectures, out-of-order issue mechanisms increase performance by dynamically rescheduling instructions that cannot be statically reordered by the compiler. Whil...
The control flow of common processors does not match the specific needs of reactive systems. Key issues for these systems are preemption and concurrency, combined with timing pred...
Recently, the number of cores on general-purpose processors has been increasing rapidly. Using conventional programming models, it is challenging to effectively exploit these core...
