Accelerating program performance via SIMD vector units is very common in modern processors, as evidenced by the use of SSE, MMX, VSE, and VSX SIMD instructions in multimedia, scien...
—Bare PC applications do not use an operating system or kernel. The bare PC architecture avoids buffer copying, minimizes interrupts, uses a single thread of execution for proces...

A primary problem in the performance measurement of high-level parallel programming languages is to map lowlevel events to high-level programming constructs. We discuss several as...
Mobile computing based upon wireless technology as the interconnect and PDAs, Web-enabled cell phones etc. as the end devices provide a rich infrastructure for anywhere, anytime i...
Dynamic optimization has the potential to adapt the program’s behavior at run-time to deliver performance improvements over static optimization. Dynamic optimization systems usu...
