The shrinking processor feature size, lower threshold voltage and increasing clock frequency make modern processors highly vulnerable to transient faults. Architectural Vulnerabil...
Message-passing is an attractive thread coordination mechanism because it cleanly delineates points in an execution when threads communicate, and unifies synchronization and comm...

This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
For a while it seemed possible to pretend that all interaction between an algorithm and its environment occurs inter-step, but not anymore. Andreas Blass, Benjamin Rossman and the ...
Abstract. A formal, representation-independent form of a memetic algorithm-a genetic algorithm incorporating local search--is introduced. A generalisedform of N-point crossover is ...
