— Heterogeneous Chip Multiprocessors (HMPs), such as the Cell Broadband Engine, offer a new design optimization opportunity by allowing designers to provide accelerators for appl...
Release consistency is a widely accepted memory model for distributed shared memory systems. Eager release consistency represents the state of the art in release consistent protoc...

In this article we introduce a grid runtime system called TGrid which is designed to run hierarchically structured task-parallel programs on heterogenous environments and can also...
It has been shown that many requests miss in all remote nodes in shared memory multiprocessors. We are motivated by the observation that this behavior extends to much coarser grai...
We studied the dynamic instruction count reduction for a single-thread, vectorized and a multi-threaded, non-vectorized, MPEG-4 video encoder. Results indicate a maximum improveme...
