The transition from single-core to multi-core processors has made multi-threaded software an important subject in computer aided verification. Here, we describe and evaluate an ex...
Extracting high-performance from the emerging Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) requires that the application be divided into multiple threads. Each thread executes on a separate core t...
