Several message passing-based parallel solvers have been developed for general (non-symmetric) sparse LU factorization with partial pivoting. Due to the fine-grain synchronizatio...
The Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) is a heterogeneous multi-core processor specifically designed to exploit thread-level parallelism. Its memory model comprehends a common shared ...
Most microprocessor chips today use an out-of-order instruction execution mechanism. This mechanism allows superscalar processors to extract reasonably high levels of instruction ...
Application-specific processor design is a promising approach for meeting the performance and cost goals of a system. Application-specific processors are especially promising for ...
Nanoelectronic devices are expected to have extremely high and variable fault rates; thus future processor architectures based on these unreliable devices need to be built with fa...
