Most microprocessor chips today use an out-of-order instruction execution mechanism. This mechanism allows superscalar processors to extract reasonably high levels of instruction ...
Exploiting parallelism at both the multiprocessor level and the instruction level is an e ective means for supercomputers to achieve high-performance. The amount of instruction-le...

Interprocessor synchronization, while extremely important for ensuring execution correctness, can be very costly in terms of both power and performance overheads. Unfortunately, m...
Abstract. In this paper, we address two key trends in the synthesis of implementations for embedded multiprocessors — (1) the increasing importance of managing interprocessor com...
Chip multiprocessors (CMP) are widely used for high performance computing. Further, these CMPs are being configured in a hierarchical manner to compose a node in a cluster system....
