Research into automatic extraction of instruction-level parallelism and data parallelism from sequential languages by compilers has been going on for many years. However, task parallelism has been almost unexploited by parallelizing compilers. It has been shown that coarse-grain task parallelism is a useful additional resource of parallelism for multiprocessors, but the simple and restricted ex...

Nowadays, development of processors which support concurrent multi-thread execution is becoming a trend. Most of these processors are aimed at exploiting instruction level parallelism (ILP). But many researchers feel that the limits of ILP exploitation are rapidly being reached. In addition, exploiting more ILP makes the circuitry of processor very complicated. We are taking another simpler app...

The purpose of this research was to analyze EFL writing tasks in two of the most popular English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) exam preparation courses in Iran, namely IELTS and TOEFL. Having collected the criteria of writing task appropriateness in light of the process-oriented approach to writing instruction, we asked 60 learner participants to rate EFL writing tasks in 3 IELTS and 3...

The current study used the Space Fortress game (Donchin, 1989) to study the effects of training and instruction in acquisition of complex skills. The game requires flexible coordination of perceptual, cognitive and motor components in a dynamically changing environment. We examined whether effective instruction can be developed for such a task in the same way that instruction is developed for a...

The main purpose of the present quasi-experimental study was to investigate the effects of linear process versus genre-based approach on EFL learners’ written production. To this end, 40 learners of English at intermediate level were randomly selected as the participants of the study and assigned into two groups of experimental (process and genre) which received different types of instruction f...

framed in a cognitive approach to task-supported l2 vocabulary learning, the present study used a pedagogical approach to investigate the relative effectiveness of tasks with different involvement loads on the vocabulary knowledge of iranian efl learners. the goal was to investigate the way that the construct of involvement load is related to the input hypothesis (krashen, 1985) and the output ...

This paper presents a task-based user study carried out to investigate how explicit roles assigned to group members affected collaborative information seeking behaviour during a travel planning task. 24 pairs participated our study where half of them were given a specific instruction to divide the roles into a searcher and writer, while others were given no such instruction. The evaluation look...
