-It has been known that loops constitute the most executed segments of programs and therefore are the best candidates for hardware implementation. We present a set of profiling tools that are specifically dedicated to loop profiling and do support combined function and loop profiling. One tool relies on an instruction set simulator and can therefore be augmented with architecture and micro-arch...

With this scheme, a simple processor might take 4 cycles per instruction (CPI = 4). processors, such as IBM's 801 research prototype, the MIPS R2000 (based on to pipeline a RISC because its reduced instruction set means the instructions This simple (and fun) classification of design styles first appeared in a 1993. The two processor classifications are the Reduced Instruction Set Computer The p...

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of CALL in developing reading proficiency of Iranian EFL learners in comparison to paper-based instruction and to investigate any significant difference in the reading comprehension of the high and low proficient learners after receiving computer-assisted instruction (CAI). This study also investigated the participants’ attitudes toward ...

Web based instruction is growing at an incredible rate. Teachers, instructors, trainers and several others are putting their instructional content online. The format, style and media types vary from instructor to instructor. In essence web based instruction is being done by an unknown number of people in an unknown number ways using different media types and platforms. In this paper, an instruc...
