A performance comparison of contemporary DRAM architectures

by Bruce Jacob, Brian Davis, Trevor Mudge - In Proceedings of the 26th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture , 1999
"... In response to the growing gap between memory access time and processor speed, DRAM manufacturers have created several new DRAM architectures. This paper presents a simulation-based performance study of a representative group, each evaluated in a small system organization. These small-system organiz ..."

Cilk: An Efficient Multithreaded Runtime System

by Robert D. Blumofe, Christopher F. Joerg, Bradley C. Kuszmaul, Charles E. Leiserson, Keith H. Randall, Yuli Zhou , 1995
"... Cilk (pronounced “silk”) is a C-based runtime system for multithreaded parallel programming. In this paper, we document the efficiency of the Cilk work-stealing scheduler, both empirically and analytically. We show that on real and synthetic applications, the “work” and “critical path ” of a Cilk co ..."

computation can be used to accurately model performance. Consequently, a Cilk programmer can focus on reducing the work and critical path of his computation, insulated from load balancing and other rtmtime scheduling issues. We also prove that for the class of “fully strict ” (well-structured) programs

Scheduling for reduced CPU energy

by Mark Weiser, Brent Welch, Alan Demers, Scott Shenker - USENIX SYMP. OPERATING , 1994
"... The energy usage of computer systems is becoming more important, especially for battery operated systems. Displays, disks, and cpus, in that order, use the most energy. Reducing the energy used by displays and disks has been studied elsewhere; this paper considers a new method for reducing the energ ..."

An Efficient Implementation of a Network Interior Point Method

by Mauricio G.C. Resende, Geraldo Veiga , 1992
"... We describe dlnet, an implementation of the dual affine scaling algorithm for minimum cost capacitated network flow problems. The efficiency of this implementation is the result of three factors: the small number of iterations taken by interior point methods, efficient solution of the linear system ..."

We compare dlnet with network simplex code netflo and relaxation code relaxt-3 on an extensive range of minimum cost network flow problems, including minimum cost circulation, maximum flow and transshipment problems. The computational results show

PARALLEL SIMULATION ALGORITHMS FOR THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRONG-STRONG BEAM-BEAM INTERACTION

by Andreas C. Kabel
"... The strong-strong beam-beam effect is one of the most important effects limiting the luminosity of ring colliders. Little is known about it analytically, so most studies utilize numeric simulations. The two-dimensional realm is readily accessible to workstation-class computers (cf.,e.g.,[1, 2]), whi ..."

Implementing an Oberon Compiler with Pccts

by Steven A. Robenalt, Scobenalt Engineering
"... . This paper describes the implementation of a compiler for the Oberon-2 programming language using the tools included in the Purdue Compiler Construction Tool Set (PCCTS). A project overview describes the structure of the compiler and highlights some of the problems which were noted. Next, the use ..."

performed by Niklaus Wirth at the Institut fr Computersysteme, ETH Zentrum, Zurich, Switzerland from 1986 through 1989 [WG92]. The goal of the project was to design and implement a complete workstation-class computer from scratch, including hardware, operating system, compiler, and software. The name

High-Performance DRAMs in Workstation Environments

Increasing Communication Performance with a Minimal-Copy Data Path Supporting ILP and ALF

by Bengt Ahlgren, Kjersti Moldeklev , 1996
"... Many current implementations of communication subsystems on workstation class computers transfer communication data to and from primary memory several times. This is due to software copying between user and operating system address spaces, presentation layer data conversion and other data manipulati ..."
