Program Execution on Reconfigurable Multicore Architectures

Program Execution on Reconfigurable Multicore Architectures

Based on the two observations that diverse applications perform better on different multicore architectures, and that different phases of an application may have vastly different resource requirements, Pal et al. proposed a novel reconfigurable hardware approach for executing multithreaded programs. Instead of mapping a concurrent program to a fixed architecture, the architecture adaptively rec...

Program Execution on Multicore and Heterogeneous Systems

As uniprocessor performance fails to improve at the erstwhile rates, computer architects are turning to multicore architectures to stay on the performance curve. Parallel programming holds the key to unlocking the performance benefits of such architectures. Conventional parallel programming models require programmers to abandon the well established sequential programming paradigm, and write par...

Reconfigurable and Self-optimizing Multicore Architectures

For the last 30 years, the microprocessor industry has relied on instruction-level par-allelism (ILP) and aggressive clock scaling to translate Moore's Law into exponential performance growth. Over this time frame, system performance has increased by a factor of 10, 000, enabling novel software applications and capabilities beyond the reach of earlier hardware platforms. Due to mounting challen...

Integrating Streaming Computations for Efficient Execution on Novel Multicore Architectures

Streaming has emerged as an important model in present–day applications, ranging from multimedia to scientific computing. Moreover, the emergence of new multicore architectures has resulted with new challenges in efficient utilization of available computational resources. Streaming model offers the portability and scalability of performance with the increasing number of cores. In this paper we ...
