Asymmetric multicore processors (AMP) consist of cores exposing the same instruction-set architecture (ISA) but varying in size, frequency, power consumption and performance. AMPs...
We present a dynamic optimization technique, thread warping, that uses a single processor on a multiprocessor system to dynamically synthesize threads into custom accelerator circ...
Scaling of CMOS technology causes the power supply voltages to fall and supply currents to rise at the same time as operating speeds are increasing. Falling supply voltages cause ...
Ray tracing is a technique used for generating highly realistic computer graphics images. In this paper, we explore the design of a simple but extremely parallel, multi-threaded, ...

I/O bottlenecks are already a problem in many largescale applications that manipulate huge datasets. This problem is expected to get worse as applications get larger, and the I/O ...
