Accomodating Diversity in CMPs with Heterogeneous Frequencies
Shrinking process technologies and growing chip sizes have profound effects on process variation. This leads to Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) where not all cores operate at maximum f...

Deriving Efficient Data Movement from Decoupled Access/Execute Specifications
Abstract. On multi-core architectures with software-managed memories, effectively orchestrating data movement is essential to performance, but is tedious and error-prone. In this p...

HeDGE: Hybrid Dataflow Graph Execution in the Issue Logic
Abstract. Exposing more instruction-level parallelism in out-of-order superscalar processors requires increasing the number of dynamic in-flight instructions. However, large instru...

Parallel H.264 Decoding on an Embedded Multicore Processor
In previous work the 3D-Wave parallelization strategy was proposed to increase the parallel scalability of H.264 video decoding. This strategy is based on the observation that inte...
