It has been observed that some applications manipulate large amounts of null data. Moreover these zero data often exhibit high spatial locality. On some applications more than 20%...
With the current trend toward multicore architectures, improved execution performance can no longer be obtained via traditional single-thread instruction level parallelism (ILP), ...
Matching regular expressions (regexps) is a very common workload. For example, tokenization, which consists of recognizing words or keywords in a character stream, appears in ever...
Several existing compiler transformations can help improve communication-computation overlap in MPI applications. However, traditional compilers treat calls to the MPI library as ...

It is challenging to test applications and functions for which the correct output for arbitrary input cannot be known in advance, e.g. some computational science or machine learni...
