The negative performance impact of branch mis-predictions can be reduced by exploiting control independence (CI). When a branch mis-predicts, the wrong-path instructions up to the...
We explore the emerging application area of physics-based simulation for computer animation and visual special effects. In particular, we examine its parallelization potential and...

Architectures are usually compared by running the same workload on each architecture and comparing performance. When a single compiled binary of a program is executed on many diff...

Straining of silicon improves mobility of carriers resulting in speed enhancement for transistors in CMOS technology. Traditionally, silicon straining is applied in a similar ad-h...
Predicting the defects in the next release of a large software system is a very valuable asset for the project manger to plan her resources. In this paper we argue that temporal f...
