Adaptation in embedded processing is key in order to address efficiency. The concept of extensible embedded processors works well if a few a-priori known hot spots exist. However,...
Transient faults due to particle strikes are a key challenge in microprocessor design. Driven by exponentially increasing transistor counts, per-chip faults are a growing burden. ...

In this paper, we consider a generic model of computational grids, seen as several clusters of homogeneous processors. In such systems, a key issue when designing efficient job al...
In this paper, we present a methodology for profiling parallel applications executing on the IBM PowerXCell 8i (commonly referred to as the “Cell” processor). Specifically, we...

Although event tracing of parallel applications offers highly detailed performance information, tracing on current leading edge systems may lead to unacceptable perturbation of the...
