Multiprocessing is already prevalent in servers where multiple clients present an obvious source of thread-level parallelism. However, the case for multiprocessing is less clear f...
As the effective limits of frequency and instruction level parallelism have been reached, the strategy of microprocessor vendors has changed to increase the number of processing ...

As multi-cores arrive for mainstream desktop systems, developers must invest the effort to parallelize their applications. We present Parallel Task (short ParaTask), a solution to ...
Developing parallel applications is notoriously difficult, but is even more complex for desktop applications. The added difficulties are primarily because of their interactive nat...
Speculative thread-level parallelism has been recently proposed as an alternative source of parallelism that can boost the performance for applications where independent threads a...
