Convergence of sciences for social accountability in education: An experience

The inter-disciplinary approach in education includes the integration of educational capacities and competencies of different disciplines for a specific purpose or creating a new product with appropriate methodological techniques to improve knowledge and acquire competencies. In fact, the starting point of convergence of sciences is turning to an interdisciplinary approach. Convergence of scien...

Rationale for Speculative Multithreading

S emiconductor technologies—along with innovative computer architectures—have provided the bricks and mortar for building phenomenal improvements in processing speed during the past decade, culminating ultimately in the hundreds of millions of transistors used to build increasingly fast on-chip devices. Innovations in computer microarchitecture and accompanying compilers have enabled us to make...

Compiling for Speculative Architectures

The traditional target machine of a parallelizing compiler can execute code sections either serially or in parallel. In contrast, targeting the generated code to a speculative parallel processor allows the compiler to recognize parallelism to the best of its abilities and leave other optimization decisions up to the processor's runtime detection mechanisms. In this paper we show that simple imp...

Accounting for Accountability

Accountability for Perfection

3 From the Editors trail documenting what the system is supposed to do (and not supposed to do), why the design should work, and what assumptions are being made. So, to hold software producers accountable, we need a mature discipline of forensics for computing systems and components. But getting there will require some radical changes in software development practices, since in addition to deli...
