Improving memory hierarchy performance for irregular applications
The performance of irregular applications on modern computer systems is hurt by the wide gap between CPU and memory speeds because these applications typically underutilize multi-...

Improving Fine-Grained Irregular Shared-Memory Benchmarks by Data Reordering
We demonstrate that data reordering can substantially improve the performance of fine-grained irregular sharedmemory benchmarks, on both hardware and software shared-memory syste...

Memory System Support for Irregular Applications
Because irregular applications have unpredictable memory access patterns, their performance is dominated by memory behavior. The Impulse con gurable memory controller will enable s...

Programming the memory hierarchy revisited: supporting irregular parallelism in sequoia
We describe two novel constructs for programming parallel machines with multi-level memory hierarchies: call-up, which allows a child task to invoke computation on its parent, and...
