For operating system intensive applications, the ability of designers to understand system call performance behavior is essential to achieving high performance. Conventional perfo...
Evaluating competing technologies on a common problem set is a powerful way to improve the state of the art and hasten technology transfer. Yet poorly designed evaluations can was...
Many binary tools, such as disassemblers, dynamiccode generation systems, and executable code rewriters, need to understand how machine instructions are encoded. Unfortunately, sp...
We illustrate how Fortran 90 supports object-oriented concepts by example of plasma particle computations on the IBM SP. Our experience shows that Fortran 90 and object-oriented m...
