Abstract. The newscast model is a general approach for communication in large agent-based distributed systems. The two basic services— membership management and information disse...
Traditionally, instruction-set simulators (ISS’s) are sequential programs running on individual processors. Besides the advances of simulation techniques, ISS’s have been main...
Task-selection policies are critical to the performance of any architecture that uses speculation to extract parallel tasks from a sequential thread. This paper demonstrates that ...

Thread-level speculation (TLS) is a technique that allows parts of a sequential program to be executed in parallel. TLS ensures the parallel program's behaviour remains true ...
This paper presents a fundamental law for parallel performance: it shows that parallel performance is not only limited by sequential code (as suggested by Amdahl’s law) but is a...
