This paper presents a fundamental law for parallel performance: it shows that parallel performance is not only limited by sequential code (as suggested by Amdahl’s law) but is a...
Microprocessors are today getting more and more inefficient for a growing range of applications. Its principles -The Von Neumann paradigm[3]- based on the sequential execution of ...
Pre-execution attacks cache misses for which conventional address-prediction driven prefetching is ineffective. In pre-execution, copies of cache miss computations are isolated fr...
In this paper, we consider a generic model of computational grids, seen as several clusters of homogeneous processors. In such systems, a key issue when designing efficient job al...
Simplifying the programming models is paramount to the success of reconfigurable computing. We apply the principles of object-oriented programming to the design of stream archite...
