For many applications, branch mispredictions and cache misses limit a processor’s performance to a level well below its peak instruction throughput. A small fraction of static i...
Silent store instructions write values that exactly match the values that are already stored at the memory address that is being written. A recent study reveals that significant ...
Component recovery supports program understanding, architecture recovery, and re-use. Among the best known techniques for detection of re-usable objects (related global variables ...
Usability comprises the aspects effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction. The correlations between these aspects are not well understood for complex tasks. We present data from...
The simulation of wide area computer networks is one area where the benefits of parallel simulation have been clearly demonstrated. Here we present a description of a system that...
