New devices gaining access to the Internet need to obtain multimedia content adapted to their limited capacities. Scalable formats allow to retrieve different versions of a single...
Exploiting locality at run-time is a complementary approach to a compiler approach for those applications with dynamic memory access patterns. This paper proposes a memory-layout ...
In this article, we present the blue-c application programming interface (API) and discuss some of its performance characteristics. The blue-c API is a software toolkit for media-...
We present a methodology for off-chip memory bandwidth minimization through application-driven L2 cache partitioning in multicore systems. A major challenge with multi-core system...
Traditionally, cache coherence in large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors has been ensured by means of a distributed directory structure stored in main memory. In this way, the ...
