SVM systems are a cheaper and flexible way to implement the shared memory programming paradigm. Their huge flexibility is due to their software implementation; however, this is al...
We study the issue of performance prediction on the SGIPower Challenge, a typical SMP. On such a platform, the cost of memory accesses depends on their locality and on contention ...

Spatial-lattice computations with finite-range interactions are an important class of easily parallelized computations. This class includes many simple and direct algorithms for ...
One of the major challenges of post-PC computing is the need to reduce energy consumption, thereby extending the lifetime of the batteries that power these mobile devices. Memory ...
