With the shrinking of transistors continuing to follow Moore's Law and the non-scalability of conventional outof-order processors, multi-core systems are becoming the design ...
Understanding why the performance of a multithreaded program does not improve linearly with the number of cores in a sharedmemory node populated with one or more multicore process...
The fth release of the multithreaded language Cilk uses a provably good \work-stealing" scheduling algorithm similar to the rst system, but the language has been completely r...
