This paper presents the Alpha EV8 conditional branch predictor. The Alpha EV8 microprocessor project, canceled in June 2001 in a late phase of development, envisioned an aggressiv...
—This paper describes a multi-threaded parallel design and implementation of the Smith-Waterman (SM) algorithm on compute unified device architecture (CUDA)-compatible graphic pr...
Abstract. Matter in the universe mainly consists of plasma. The dynamics of plasmas is controlled by magnetic fields. To simulate the evolution of magnetised plasma, we solve the e...
—This work presents a study undertaken to characterise the behaviour of some parallelisation techniques for irregular codes, previously developed for SMP architectures, on a seve...
