With the availability of chip multiprocessor (CMP) and simultaneous multithreading (SMT) machines, extracting thread level parallelism from a sequential program has become crucial...
Recent proposals for Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) advocate speculative, or implicit, threading in which the hardware employs prediction to peel off instruction sequences (i.e., imp...

Traditional vector architectures have shown to be very effective for regular codes where the compiler can detect data-level parallelism. However, this SIMD parallelism is also pre...
In recent years, microprocessor manufacturers have shifted their focus from single-core to multi-core processors. To avoid burdening programmers with the responsibility of paralle...
