Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) is a way of improving the performance of a processor by executing operations simultaneously. Modern processors generally have an abundance of execution ...

Instruction-level Parallelism (ILP) refers to design techniques that enable more than one RISC instruction to be executed simultaneously in the same instruction, which boosts processor performance by ...

Abstract: Enabling better performing systems benefits applications that span those running on mobile devices to large data applications running on data centers. The efficiency of most applications is ...

The Central Processing Unit (CPU)–the component that has defined the performance of your computer for many years–has hit a wall. In fact, the next-generation of CPUs, including Intel’s forthcoming ...

This is the first article in a two-part series by Rob Farber about the challenges facing the HPC community in training people to write code and develop algorithms for current and future, ...

There was a time when the clock speed of a CPU was the only thing people were talking about. Back at the turn of the century, Intel and AMD locked horns in a race to release the first 1GHz desktop CPU ...

Transactional memory systems represent a significant advancement in concurrent programming by allowing grouped sequences of operations to execute atomically. This paradigm reduces the complexity ...
