Modeling emerging multicore architectures is challenging and imposes a tradeoff between simulation speed and accuracy. An effective practice that balances both targets well is to map the target… (More)
The currently dominant programming models to write software for multicore processors use threads that run over shared memory. However, as the core count increases, cache coherency protocols get very… (More)
Constantly increasing hardware parallelism poses more and more challenges to programmers and language designers. One approach to harness the massive parallelism is to move to task-based programming… (More)
Task-based programming models have become very popular, as they offer an attractive solution to parallelize serial application code with task and data annotations. They usually depend on a runtime… (More)
