We demonstrate the bene ts of instruction-set simulation in the evaluation of a parallel programming system, Penny. The simulator is a reliable tool in exploring design alternativ...
Scientists are increasingly turning to numerical simulation in order to investigate and model complex environmental systems. Numerical simulation has enormous advantages over labor...
Abstract. Limited bandwidth to off-chip main memory is a performance bottleneck in chip multiprocessors for streaming computations, such as Cell/B.E., and this will become even mor...
The need to integrate several versions of a program into a common one arises frequently, but it is a tedious and time consuming task to merge programs by hand. The program-integrat...
SARC merges cache controller and network interface functions by relying on a single hardware primitive: each access checks the tag and the state of the addressed line for possible...
