- A Composable Model for Analyzing Locality of Multi-Threaded Programs
- In a multi-threaded execution, threads may negatively interfere when their private data contends for shared cache or positively interact when the data brought in by one thread is used by other threads. This paper presents a model of such cache behavior to predict locality without exhaustive simulation and provide insight...

- iTimeSync 1.502 (Windows)
- Keep the clock of your PC, or even your whole LAN, synchronized to the correct time with iTimeSync. This can be done manually, with no configuration needed, by simply running the program and pressing "Correct". Alternatively, iTimeSync can also be set to automatically synchronize any minute / hour / day...

- Google's parallel programming model
- Two Google Fellows just published a paper in the latest issue of Communications of the ACM about MapReduce, the parallel programming model used to process more than 20 petabytes of data every day on commodity-based clusters. The latest statistics included in the paper are from September 2007. They show that...

- Government supplies SSNs to identity thefts
- Government supplies SSNs to identity theftsThe problem isthat the SSN was never intended to serve any kind of identification role whatsoever. But as the nannystate grew, the government began to require it on more and more pieces of paper until it has become a de facto national ID card.RE: Government...

- Parallel Processing Using Data Localization for MPEG2 Encoding on OSCAR Chip Multiprocessor
- Need for efficient processing of multimedia applications on PCs, mobile phones, games and so on have been increasing. Especially, low cost, low power consumption and high performance processors for multi-media applications have been expected. To satisfy the demands, chip multiprocessor architectures which allow giving scalability using multigrain parallelism are attracting...

- Cache Optimization for Coarse Grain Task Parallel Processing Using Inter-Array Padding
- The wide use of multiprocessor system has been making automatic parallelizing compilers more important. To improve the performance of multiprocessor system more by compiler, multigrain parallelization is important. In multigrain parallelization, coarse grain task parallelism among loops and subroutines and near fine grain parallelism among statements is used in addition...

- A Super Scalar Sort Algorithm for RISC Processors
- The compare and branch sequences required in a traditional sort algorithm can not efficiently exploit multiple execution units present in currently available high performance RISC processors. This is because of the long latency of the compare instructions and the sequential algorithm used in sorting. With the increased level of integration...

- Load Balancing and Data Locality in Adaptive Hierarchical N-Body Methods: Barnes-Hut, Fast Multipole, and Radiosity
- Hierarchical N-body methods, which are based on a fundamental insight into the nature of many physical processes, are increasingly being used to solve large-scale problems in a variety of scientific/engineering domains. Applications that use these methods are challenging to parallelize effectively, however, owing to their nonuniform, dynamically changing characteristics and...

- Optimization of Frequent Itemset Mining on Multiple-Core Processor
- Multi-core processors are proliferated across different domains in recent years. This paper studies the performance of frequent pattern mining on a modern multi-core machine. A detailed study shows that, even with the best implementation, current FP-tree based algorithms still under-utilize a multi-core system due to poor data locality and insufficient...
