This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
Data warehouses store large volumes of data according to a multidimensional model with dimensions representing different axes of analysis. OLAP systems (OnLine Analytical Processi...
We apply Amdahl's Law to multicore chips using symmetric cores, asymmetric cores, and dynamic techniques that allows cores to work together on sequential execution. To Amdahl...
