Modern architectures, such as the Intel Itanium, support speculation, a hardware mechanism that allows the early execution of expensive operations—possibly even before it is kno...

Speculative compiler optimizations are effective in improving both single-thread performance and reducing power consumption, but their implementation introduces significant compl...

Run-time parallelization is often the only way to execute the code in parallel when data dependence information is incomplete at compile time. This situation is common in many imp...
In this paper we evaluate the atomic region compiler abstraction by incorporating it into a commercial system. We find that atomic regions are simple and intuitive to integrate i...
