Abstract. Today’s parallel computers with SMP nodes provide both multithreading and message passing as their modes of parallel execution. As a consequence, performance analysis a...
The continued scaling of device dimensions and the operating voltage reduces the critical charge and thus natural noise tolerance level of transistors. As a result, circuits can p...
Abstract. The degree of locality of a program re ects the level of temporal and spatial concentration of related data and computations. Locality optimization can speed up programs ...
—Fast track is a software speculation system that enables unsafe optimization of sequential code. It speculatively runs optimized code to improve performance and then checks the ...
Trace cache, an instruction fetch technique that reduces taken branch penalties by storing and fetching program instructions in dynamic execution order, dramatically improves inst...
