Exploiting compile time knowledge to improve memory bandwidth can produce noticeable improvements at run-time [13, 1]. Allocating the data structure [13] to separate memories when...
The Sony–Toshiba–IBM Cell Broadband Engine (Cell/B.E.) is a heterogeneous multicore architecture that consists of a traditional microprocessor (PPE) with eight SIMD co-process...

Caches play an important role in embedded systems by bridging the performance gap between high speed processors and slow memory. At the same time, caches introduce imprecision in ...
Traditional parallel programming styles have many problems which hinder the development of parallel applications. The message passing style can be too complex for many programmers...
As microprocessors become faster, the relative performance cost of memory accesses increases. Bigger and faster caches significantly reduce the absolute load-to-use time delay. Ho...
