Dynamic analysis (instrumenting programs with code to detect and prevent errors during program execution) can be an effective approach to debugging, as well as an effective means ...
This paper introduces dynamic self-invalidation (DSI), a new technique for reducing cache coherence overhead in shared-memory multiprocessors. DSI eliminates invalidation messages...
If parallelism can be successfully exploited in a program, significant reductions in execution time can be achieved. However, if sections of the code are dominated by parallel ove...
Program instrumentation, inserted either before or during execution, is rapidly becoming a necessary component of many systems. Instrumentation is commonly used to collect informa...
