The problem of extracting InstructionLevel Parallelism at levels of 10 instructionsper clock and higher is considered. Two different architectures which use speculation on memory accesses to achieve this level of performance are reviewed. It is pointed out that while this form of speculation gives high potential parallelism it is necessary to retain execution state so that incorrect speculation...

This paper proposes an enhanced method of multiple branch prediction using a per-primary branch history table. This scheme improves the previous ones based on a single global branch history register, by reducing interferences among histories of diierent branches caused by sharing a single register. This scheme also allows the prediction of a branch not to aaect the prediction of other branches ...

The paper begins by describing the evolving architecture of desktop PCs and the performance metrics of interest in evaluating them. It then describes some of the more interesting counters, references an earlier study using the counters, talks a little bit about the software to enable use of these counters, and describes typical values of instructions per cycle and other metrics of interest runn...

We consider performing a sequence of mobile manipulation tasks with instructions given in natural language (NL). Given a new environment, even a simple task such as of boiling water would be performed quite differently depending on the presence, location and state of the objects. We start by collecting a dataset of task descriptions in free-form natural language and the corresponding grounded t...

Reflective learning is an important type of learning both in formal and informal situations-in school, higher education, at the workplace, and in everyday life. People may benefit from technical support for reflective learning, in particular when supporting each other by reflecting not only upon their own but also upon other people's problems. We refer to this collective approach where people c...

This article provides an outline of clustering, key stages in creating self-organizing maps for purposes instructions on how to use a free online R Shiny app that constructs data provided by users, and interpretations the graphics produced.

This study investigated whether an instructional intervention can increase students’ self-regulated use of retrieval practice in a higher education classroom environment. A lab-experiment by Ariel and Karpicke (2017) revealed that strategy instructions improved subsequent test performance. Our goal was to determine these effects generalize environment using key concepts from marketing communica...
