This paper presents a framework for analyzing the performance of multithreaded programs using a model called a constraint graph. We review previous constraint graph definitions fo...
With increasing chip densities, future microprocessor designs have the opportunity to integrate many of the traditional systemlevel modules onto the same chip as the processor. So...
