We introduce some new models of infinite-state transition systems. The basic model, called a (reversal-bounded) counter machine (CM), is a nondeterministic finite automaton augment...
Complete system simulation to understand the influence of architecture and operating systems on application execution has been identified to be crucial for systems design. While t...

As the performance gap between the CPU and main memory continues to grow, techniques to hide memory latency are essential to deliver a high performance computer system. Prefetchin...
Current data cache organizations fail to deliver high performance in scalar processors for many vector applications. There are two main reasons for this loss of performance: the u...
Gamma was originally proposed in 1986 as a formalism for the de nition of programs without arti cial sequentiality. The basic idea underlying the formalism is to describe computati...
