Abstract--The growing complexity in computer system hierarchies due to the increase in the number of cores per processor, levels of cache (some of them shared) and the number of pr...
Transactional memory is emerging as a parallel programming paradigm for multi-core processors. Despite the recent interest in transactional memory, there has been no study to char...
The Sony-Toshiba-IBM Cell Broadband Engine is a heterogeneous multicore architecture that consists of a traditional microprocessor (PPE) with eight SIMD coprocessing units (SPEs) ...
In single processor architectures, computationallyintensive functions are typically accelerated using hardware accelerators, which exploit the concurrency in the function code to ...
: Solving problems in bioinformatics often needs extensive computational power. Current trends in processor architecture, especially massive multi-core processors for graphic cards...
