Linked data structure (LDS) accesses are critical to the performance of many large scale applications. Techniques have been proposed to prefetch such accesses. Unfortunately, many...
—Software testing is hard. The emergence of multicore architectures and the proliferation of bugprone multithreaded software makes testing even harder. To this end, researchers h...

Tracing algorithms visit reachable nodes in a graph and are central to activities such as garbage collection, marshalling etc. Traditional sequential algorithms use a worklist, re...
Moore’s Law and the drive towards performance efficiency have led to the on-chip integration of general-purpose cores with special-purpose accelerators. Pangaea is a heterogeneo...
