As compilers increasingly rely on optimizations to achieve high performance, the effectiveness of source level debuggers for optimized code continues to falter. Even if values of s...
After an outline of the history of evolutionary algorithms, a new ( ) variant of the evolution strategies is introduced formally. Though not comprising all degrees of freedom, it i...
Visualizations which depict entire information spaces provide context for navigation and browsing tasks; however, the limited size of the display screen makes creating effective g...
Accurate instruction fetch and branch prediction is increasingly important on today’s wide-issue architectures. Fetch prediction is the process of determining the next instructi...
One can e ectively utilize predicated execution to improve branch handling in instruction-level parallel processors. Although the potential bene ts of predicated execution are hig...
