Abstract--Transactional Memory (TM) is an emerging technology which promises to make parallel programming easier. However, to be efficient, underlying TM system should protect only...
Due to power wall, memory wall, and ILP wall, we are facing the end of ever increasing single-threaded performance. For this reason, multicore and manycore processors are arising ...
Scalability of applications on distributed sharedmemory (DSM) multiprocessors is limited by communication overheads. At some point, using more processors to increase parallelism y...

Modern CPUs have instructions that allow basic operations to be performed on several data elements in parallel. These instructions are called SIMD instructions, since they apply a...
Modern Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) provide sufficiently flexible programming models that understanding their performance can provide insight in designing tomorrow’s manyco...
