One challenge for runtime systems like the JavaTM platform that depend on garbage collection is the ability to scale performance with the number of allocating threads. As the number of such threads grows, allocation of memory in the heap becomes a point of contention. To relieve this contention, many collectors allow threads to preallocate blocks of memory from the shared heap. These per-thread...

We describe a cryptographic processor for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). ECC is evolving as an attractive alternative to other public-key cryptosystems such as the Rivest-ShamirAdleman algorithm (RSA) by offering the smallest key size and the highest strength per bit. The cryptographic processor performs point multiplication for elliptic curves over binary polynomial fields GF(2m). In contr...

Binary translation, the process of translating binary executables, makes it possible to run code compiled for source (input) machine Ms on target (output) machine Mt. Unlike an interpreter or emulator, a binary translator makes it possible to approach the speed of native code on machine Mt. Translated code may still run slower than native code because low-level properties of machine Ms must oft...

A binary translator examines binary code for a source machine, optionally builds an intermediate representation, and generates code for a target machine. Understanding what to do with delayed branches in binary code can involve tricky case analyses, e.g., if there is a branch instruction in a delay slot. Correctness of a translation is of utmost importance. This paper presents a disciplined met...

Trademarks work as significant responsibility in industry and commerce. Trademarks are important component of its industrial property, and violation can have severe penalty. Therefore designing an efficient trademark retrieval system and its assessment for uniqueness is thus becoming very important task now a days. Trademark image retrieval system where a new candidate trademark is compared wit...

Supercomputer designers traditionally focus on low-level hardware performance criteria such as CPU cycle speed, disk bandwidth, and memory latency. The High-Performance Computing (HPC) community has more recently begun to realize that escalating hardware performance is, by itself, contributing less and less to real productivity—the ability to develop and deploy high-performance supercomputer ap...
