Tag handling accounts for a substantial amount of execution cost in latently typed languages such as Common LISP and Scheme, especially on architectures that provide no special ha...
Abstract. Today’s parallel computers with SMP nodes provide both multithreading and message passing as their modes of parallel execution. As a consequence, performance analysis a...
As we reach the limits of single-core computing, we are promised more and more cores in our systems. Modern architectures include many performance counters per core, but few or no...

With the fast technical improvement, flash memory based Solid State Drives (SSDs) are becoming an important part of the computer storage hierarchy to significantly improve perfo...
With the shift towards chip multiprocessors (CMPs), exploiting and managing parallelism has become a central problem in computer systems. Many issues of parallelism management boi...
