Transactional memory is an attractive design concept for scalable multiprocessors because it offers efficient lock-free synchronization and greatly simplifies parallel software....
Micro patterns are similar to design patterns, except that micro patterns stand at a lower, closer to the implementation, level of abstraction. Micro patterns are also unique in t...
Software architectures, like complex designs in any field, embody tradeoffs made by the designers. However, these tradeoffs are not always made explicitly by the designers and the...

We introduce the first approach that can actively control multiple hardware intellectual property (IP) cores used in an integrated circuit (IC). The IP rights owner(s) can remotel...
