When using a shared memory multiprocessor, the programmer faces the selection of the portable programming model which will deliver the best performance. Even if he restricts his c...
In the last years high performance processor designs have evolved toward Chip-Multiprocessor (CMP) architectures that implement multiple processing cores on a single die. As the nu...
The use of threads is becoming commonplace in both sequential and parallel programs. This paper describes our design and initial experience with non-trace based performance instru...
In self-organizing networks of battery-powered wireless sensors that can sense, process, and communicate, energy is the most crucial and scarce resource. However, since sensor netw...
