Trace-driven simulation is an important technique used in the evaluation of computer architecture innovations. However using it for studying parallel computers and applications is...
Writing shared-memory parallel programs is error-prone. Among the concurrency errors that programmers often face are atomicity violations, which are especially challenging. They h...

—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
While set-associative caches incur fewer misses than directmapped caches, they typically have slower hit times and higher power consumption, when multiple tag and data banks are p...
Tw o parallel programming models represented b y OpenMP and MPI are compared for PDE solvers based on regular sparse numerical operators. As a typical representative of such an app...
