In the last decade, consumer graphics cards have increased their power because of the computer games industry. These cards are now programmable and capable of processing huge amoun...
Abstract. Heterogeneous multi-core platforms are increasingly prevalent due to their perceived superior performance over homogeneous systems. The best performance, however, can onl...
The popularization of multi-core processors and of technologies such as hyper-threading demonstrates a fundamental change in the way processors have been evolving and also increase...

Abstract. Silicon chip design has passed a threshold whereby exponentially increasing transistor density (Moore’s Law) no longer translates into increased processing power for si...
There are two avenues for many-core machines to gain higher performance: increasing the number of processors, and increasing the number of vector units in one SIMD processor. A tru...
