For software executing several threads in parallel, testing is unreliable, as it cannot cover all thread schedules. Model checking, however, can cover all possible thread interlea...
Commercial servers, such as database or application servers, often attempt to improve performance via multithreading. Improper multi-threading architectures can incur contention, ...
Embedded systems require control of many concurrent real-time activities, leading to system designs which feature multiple hardware peripherals with each providing a specific, ded...
Single thread performance remains an important consideration even for multicore, multiprocessor systems. As a result, techniques for improving single thread performance using mult...
When integrating software threads together to boost performance on a processor with instruction-level parallel processing support, it is rarely clear which code regions should be ...
