Program dynamic optimization, adaptive to runtime behavior changes, has become increasingly important for both performance and energy savings. However, most runtime optimizations o...
Modern architectures, such as the Intel Itanium, support speculation, a hardware mechanism that allows the early execution of expensive operations—possibly even before it is kno...

Debugging techniques have evolved over the years in response to changes in programming languages, implementation techniques, and user needs. A new type of implementation vehicle f...
Concurrent programming errors arise when threads share data incorrectly. Programmers often avoid these errors by using synchronization to enforce a simple ownership policy: data i...
