An important means of validating the design of commercial-grade shared memory multiprocessors is to run a large number of pseudo-random test programs on them. However, when intent...
With the current trend toward multicore architectures, improved execution performance can no longer be obtained via traditional single-thread instruction level parallelism (ILP), ...
In data centers hosting scaling Internet applications, operators face the tradeoff dilemma between resource efficiency and Quality of Service (QoS), and the root cause lies in wo...
—In an attempt to increase the performance/cost ratio, large compute clusters are becoming heterogeneous at multiple levels: from asymmetric processors, to different system archi...
Tracing algorithms visit reachable nodes in a graph and are central to activities such as garbage collection, marshalling etc. Traditional sequential algorithms use a worklist, re...
