Helper threading is a technique that utilizes a second core or logical processor in a multi-threaded system to improve the performance of the main thread. A helper thread executes...
High power consumption and low energy efficiency have become significant impediments to future performance improvements in modern microprocessors. This paper contributes to the so...
Abstract. Accurately modeling and predicting performance for largescale applications becomes increasingly difficult as system complexity scales dramatically. Analytic predictive mo...
