The fast introduction of the Intel CoreTM2 Duo and Quad processors to the mass market has drawn attention to threadization (a.k.a. parallelization) and vectorization of the existing code in many application domains. In fact, multi-core processor vendors are eager to enable their users to exploit various levels of parallelism in order to harness the additional compute resources of multi-core pro...

Designing multi-threaded and multi-core processor architectures has become one of the most challenging projects for computer scientists in the last few years. But not only the design of such architectures for desktop computers, servers, or high performance computing (HPC) clusters has been investigated in a sophisticated manner, also in the area of embedded systems, researchers have started to ...

A key determinant of overall system performance and power dissipation is the cache hierarchy since access to off-chip memory consumes many more cycles and energy than on-chip accesses. In addition, multi-core processors are expected to place ever higher bandwidth demands on the memory system. All these issues make it important to avoid off-chip memory access by improving the efficiency of the o...

in this study, under the constraint of resource-saving and environment-friendliness objective, based on multi-agent genetic algorithm, multi-objective spatial optimization (moso) model for land use allocation was developed from the view of simulating the biological autonomous adaptability to environment and the competitive-cooperative relationship. the model was applied to solve the practical m...

D.T. HASTA, A.B. Mutiara TITLE: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF PARALLEL MESSAGE PASSINGANDTHREADPROGRAMMINGMODEL ON MULTICORE

In multithreaded applications with high degree of data sharing, the miss rate of private cache is shown to exhibit a compulsory miss component. It manifests because at least some of the shared data originates from other cores and can only be accessed in a shared cache. The compulsory component does not change with the private cache size, causing its miss rate to diminish slower as the cache siz...
