When a program uses Software Transactional Memory (STM) to synchronize accesses to shared memory, the performance often depends on which STM implementation is used. Implementation...
Work stealing is a common technique used in the runtime schedulers of parallel languages such as Cilk and parallel libraries such as Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB). Depth-r...
A high-level understanding of how an application executes and which performance characteristics it exhibits is essential in many areas of high performance computing, such as applic...
The Multitasking Virtual Machine (called from now on simply MVM) is a modification of the Java™ virtual machine. It enables safe, secure, and scalable multitasking. Safety is ac...
