Progress in quantum computing hardware raises questions about how these devices can be controlled, programmed, and integrated with existing computational workflows. We briefly describe several prominent quantum computational models, their associated quantum processing units (QPUs), and the adoption of these devices as accelerators within high-performance computing systems. Emphasizing the inter...

TCP/IP protocol processing latency has been an important issue in high-speed networks. In this paper, we present an architectural study of TCP/IP protocol. We port the TCP/IP protocol stack from the 4.4 FreeBSD to the SimpleScalar simulation environment. The architectural characteristics, such as instruction level parallelism and cache behavior, are studied through simulation. We also compare t...

In this paper, a review of the role of input, output and instruction in second language acquisition is provided. Several pedagogical interventions in grammar instruction (e.g., processing instruction, input enhancement, structured output and collaborative output tasks) are presented and their effectiveness reviewed. A final and overall evaluation is provided at the end of the paper.

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...

0272-1732/03/$17.00  2003 IEEE Published by the IEEE computer Society Achieving high performance in modern microprocessors requires a combination of exposing large amounts of instruction level parallelism (ILP) and processing instructions at a high clock frequency. Exposing maximum ILP requires the processor to operate concurrently on large numbers of instructions, also known as the instructio...
