Next generation computer systems will have gigabytes of physical memory and processors in the 200 MIPS range or higher. While this trend suggests that memory management for most p...
The foremost goal of superscalar processor design is to increase performance through the exploitation of instruction-level parallelism (ILP). Previous studies have shown that spec...
Software-controlled data prefetching is a promising technique for improving the performance of the memory subsystem to match today's high-performance processors. While prefet...
A partial evaluator is an automatic program transformation tool. Given as input a general program and part of its input, it can produce a specialized version. If the partial evalu...
Designing the illumination of a scene is a di cult task because one needs to render the whole scene in order to look at the result. Obtaining the correct lighting e ects may requi...
