Control intensive scalar programs pose a very different challenge to highly pipelined supercomputers than vectorizable numeric applications. Function call/return and branch instru...
The computational power and memory bandwidth of graphics processing units (GPUs) have turned them into attractive platforms for general-purpose applications. In this paper, we expl...

Deeply pipelined high performance processors require highly accurate branch prediction to drive their instruction fetch. However there remains a class of events which are not easi...
Although Web prefetching is regarded as an effective method to improve client access performance, the associated overhead prevents it from being widely deployed. Specifically, a ...
— Applications are faced with several network-related problems on current grids: heterogeneous networks, firewalls, NAT, private IP addresses, non-routed networks, performance p...
