Programs to solve so-called constraint problems are complex pieces of software which require many design decisions to be made more or less arbitrarily by the implementer. These dec...
A case study of performance and dependability evaluation of fault-tolerant multiprocessors is presented. Two specific architectures are analyzed taking into account system functio...
The internal mechanism used for a dependence test constrains its accuracy and determines its speed. The internal mechanism used for our Access Region Test (ART) is fundamentally d...
Abstract Barrier synchronizations can be very expensive on multiprogramming environment because no process can go past a barrier until all the processes have arrived. If a process ...
An instruction set architecture (ISA) suitable for future microprocessor design constraints is proposed. The ISA has hierarchical register files with a small number of accumulator...
