The primary purpose of parallel computation is the fast execution of computational tasks that are too slow to perform sequentially. However, it was shown recently that a second eq...
This paper proposes a hardware mechanism for reducing coherency overhead occurring in scientific computations within DSM systems. A first phase aims at detecting, in the address s...
Domain knowledge is essential for successful problem solving and optimization. This paper introduces a framework in which a form of automatic domain knowledge extraction can be im...
