Hardware prefetching is a simple and effective technique for hiding cache miss latency and thus improving the overall performance. However, it comes with addition of prefetch buff...
In this paper, we provide examples of how thread-level speculation (TLS) simplifies manual parallelization and enhances its performance. A number of techniques for manual parallel...
Embodied agents or humanoid avatars may effectively be used to communicate with human users. Currently there is a wide range of specification formalisms and scripting languages f...
The Internet and the Grid are changing the face of high performance computing. Rather than tightly-coupled SPMD-style components running in a single cluster, on a parallel machine...
Modern computers have taken advantage of the instruction-level parallelism (ILP) available in programs with advances in both architecture and compiler design. Unfortunately, large...
