—Writing correct multithreaded programs is difficult. Existing tools for finding bugs in multithreaded programs primarily focus on finding generic concurrency problems such as...
With the right techniques, multicore architectures may be able to continue the exponential performance trend that elevated the performance of applications of all types for decades...

Speed improvements in today's processors have largely been delivered in the form of multiple cores, increasing the importance of ions that ease parallel programming. Software...
Only a handful of fundamental mechanisms for synchronizing the access of concurrent threads to shared memory are widely implemented and used. These include locks, condition variab...
Hybrid processors are HW/SW co-designed processors that leverage blocked-execution, the execution of regions of instructions as atomic blocks, to facilitate aggressive speculative...
