Traditionally, instruction-set simulators (ISS’s) are sequential programs running on individual processors. Besides the advances of simulation techniques, ISS’s have been main...
Modeling and analysis of program behavior are at the foundation of computer system design and optimization. As computer systems become more adaptive, their efficiency increasingly...
This paper presents an automated performance tuning solution, which partitions a program into a number of tuning sections and finds the best combination of compiler options for e...
Modern out-of-order processors with non-blocking caches exploit Memory-Level Parallelism (MLP) by overlapping cache misses in a wide instruction window. The exploitation of MLP, h...
Soft errors have become a significant concern and recent studies have measured the “architectural vulnerability factor” of systems to such errors, or conversely, the potentia...
