The Java memory model described in Chapter 17 of the Java Language Specification gives constraints on how threads interact through memory. This chapter is hard to interpret and po...
This paper introduces a compiler-orchestrated prefetching system as a unified framework geared toward ameliorating the gap between processing speeds and memory access latencies. ...

—Most research into high-performance software transactional memory (STM) assumes that transactions will run on a processor with a relatively strict memory model, such as Total St...

In the past decade, processor speed has become significantly faster than memory speed. Small, fast cache memories are designed to overcome this discrepancy, but they are only effe...
Cray X1 Fortran and C/C++ compilers provide a number of loop transformations, notably vectorization and multistreaming, in order to exploit the multistreaming processor (MSP) hard...
