Abstract. We present a novel approach to avoid the debugging of optimized code through comparison checking. In the technique presented, both the unoptimized and optimized versions ...
This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
The widespread presence of SIMD devices in today’s microprocessors has made compiler techniques for these devices tremendously important. One of the most important and difficul...
Packet delay and loss are two fundamental measures of performance. Using active probing to measure delay and loss typically involves sending Poisson probes, on the basis of the PA...
—High instruction cache hit rates are key to high performance. One known technique to improve the hit rate of caches is to minimize cache interference by improving the layout of ...
