Parallelism in Plautus

The Marriage of Plautus and Boccaccio

iological children come from a coupling of parents, and this is often true for intellectual children as well. In the case of the reinvention of comedy in Italy at the beginning of the sixteenth century, two sources, Plautus and Boccaccio, converged in a happy and productive marriage that would have a long list of offspring. The marriage was prominently performed in 1513, although an engagement ...

Computer industry has adopted multi-threaded and multi-core architectures as the clock rate increase stalled in early 2000’s. It was hoped that the continuous improvement of single-program performance could be achieved through these architectures. However, traditional parallelizing compilers often fail to effectively parallelize general-purpose applications which typically have complex control ...

Derivational Parallelism and Ellipsis Parallelism

A central topic in work on ellipsis is the parallelism between missing VPs and their antecedents. There is evidence that parallelism is conditioned both syntactically and semantically. This has resulted in complex hybrid principles that regulate both syntactic structures and their interpretations (e.g., Fox 1995, 2000). We present an alternative, unified account based on parallelism of semantic...

Hardware parallelism vs. software parallelism

In this paper, we explore the rationale for multicore parallelism and instead argue that a better use of transistors is to use reconfigurable hardware cores. The difficulty in achieving software parallelism means that new ways of exploiting the silicon real estate need to be explored. Hardware implementations can often expose much finer grained parallelism than possible with software implementa...
