Modern Information Retrieval

by Ricardo Baeza-Yates, Berthier Ribeiro-Neto , 1999
"... Information retrieval (IR) has changed considerably in the last years with the expansion of the Web (World Wide Web) and the advent of modern and inexpensive graphical user interfaces and mass storage devices. As a result, traditional IR textbooks have become quite out-of-date which has led to the i ..."

the latest research in mapping general-purpose computation to graphics hardware. We begin with the technical motivations that underlie general-purpose computation on graphics processors (GPGPU) and describe the hardware and software developments that have led to the recent interest in this field. We then aim

Wattch: A Framework for Architectural-Level Power Analysis and Optimizations

by David Brooks, Vivek Tiwari, Margaret Martonosi - In Proceedings of the 27th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture , 2000
"... Power dissipation and thermal issues are increasingly significant in modern processors. As a result, it is crucial that power/performance tradeoffs be made more visible to chip architects and even compiler writers, in addition to circuit designers. Most existing power analysis tools achieve high ..."

Value Locality and Load Value Prediction

by Mikko H. Lipasti, Christopher B. Wilkerson, John Paul Shen , 1996
"... Since the introduction of virtual memory demand-paging and cache memories, computer systems have been exploiting spatial and temporal locality to reduce the average latency of a memory reference. In this paper, we introduce the notion of value locality, a third facet of locality that is frequently p ..."

Modern processors already exploit value locality in a very restricted sense through the use of control speculation (i.e. branch prediction), which seeks to predict the future value of a

Besides performance gains due to improved numerical computations, graphics algorithms benefit from this model in that the transfer of computation results to the graphics processor for display is avoided. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by implementing
