XMalloc: A Scalable Lock-free Dynamic Memory Allocator for Many-core Machines
There are two avenues for many-core machines to gain higher performance: increasing the number of processors, and increasing the number of vector units in one SIMD processor. A tru...

A Prototype Multithreaded Associative SIMD Processor
The performance of SIMD processors is often limited by the time it takes to transfer data between the centralized control unit and the parallel processor array. This is especially...
