Matching regular expressions (regexps) is a very common workload. For example, tokenization, which consists of recognizing words or keywords in a character stream, appears in ever...
The Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) is a heterogeneous multi-core processor specifically designed to exploit thread-level parallelism. Its memory model comprehends a common shared ...
Abstract. It has been already verified that hardware-supported finegrain synchronization provides a significant performance improvement over coarse-grained synchronization mecha...

Commodity hardware and software are growing increasingly more complex, with advances such as chip heterogeneity and specialization, deeper memory hierarchies, ne-grained power ma...
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...
