To protect processor logic from soft errors, multicore redundant architectures execute two copies of a program on separate cores of a chip multiprocessor (CMP). Maintaining identical instruction streams is challenging because redundant cores operate indepe ...
The neural simulation tool NEST (http://www.nest-initiative.org) is a simulator for heterogeneous networks of point neurons or neurons with a small number of compartments. It aims at simulations of large neural systems with more than 10^4 neurons and 10^7 ...
Applications vary in the degree of instruction level parallelism (ILP) available to be exploited by a superscalar processor. The ILP can also vary significantly within an application. On one end of the microarchitecture space are monolithic superscalar des ...
Recent proposals for Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) advocate speculative, or implicit, threading in which the hardware employs prediction to peel off instruction sequences (i.e., implicit threads) from the sequential execution stream and speculatively execute ...
The design of future parallel computers requires rapid simulation of target designs running realistic workloads. These simulations have been accelerated using two techniques: direct execution and the use of a parallel host. Historically, these techniques h ...
With technology advances, the number of cores integrated on a chip and their speed of operation is increasing. This, in turn is leading to a significant increase in chip temperature. Temperature gradi- ents and hot-spots not only affect the performance of ...
Caches are designed to provide the best tradeoff between access speed and capacity for a set of target applications. Unfortunately, different applications, and even different phases within the same application, may require a different capacity-speed tradeo ...
The actor computation model is especially suited for concurrent and distributed computations. Actors are basically concurrent processes which communicate through asynchronous message passing. When combined with pattern matching for messages, actor-based pr ...
Superscalar out-of-order microarchitectures can be modified to support redundant execution of a program as two concurrent threads for soft-error detection. However, the extra workload from redundant execution incurs a performance penalty due to increased c ...
Previous proposals for soft-error tolerance have called for redundantly executing a program as two concurrent threads on a superscalar microarchitecture. In a balanced superscalar design, the extra workload from redundant execution induces a severe perform ...
