Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) is a way of improving the performance of a processor by executing operations simultaneously. Modern processors generally have an abundance of execution ...

OpenMP is the unsung backbone of parallel computing, powerful, portable, and surprisingly simple. Used everywhere from ...

Rising development costs motivate companies to design fewer systems-on-chip, but to make each one they do design more flexible and programmable. Doing so makes it possible to reuse designs to take ...

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Sun Microsystems Inc. will build into its Ultrasparc processor both instruction-level and multithreaded parallelism, two of the most talked-about ways of coaxing additional ...
