Increased complexity of memory systems to ameliorate the gap between the speed of processors and memory has made it increasingly harder for compilers to optimize an arbitrary code...
In current multi-media systems major parts of the functionality consist of software tasks executed on a set of concurrently operating processors. Those tasks interfere with each o...

ncy Abstractions on x86-TSO Scott Owens University of Cambridge Abstract. With the rise of multi-core processors, shared-memory concurrency has become a widespread feature of compu...
Multi-threaded programming is difficult and error prone. It is easy to make a mistake in synchronization that produces a data race, yet it can be extremely hard to locate this mi...
