  • The dynamic speculation and performance prediction of parallel loops

    Creator:
    Zier, David A.
    Abstract:
    General purpose computer systems have seen increased performance potential through the parallel processing capabilities of multicore processors. Yet this potential performance can only be attained through parallel applications, thus forcing software developers to rethink how everyday applications are designed. The most readily form of Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) within any...

  • Optimal load and resource balance in internet distributed systems

    Creator:
    Nishida, Hiroshi
    Abstract:
    A distributed system is a network of multiple autonomous computational nodes designed primarily for performance scalability and robustness. The performance of a distributed system depends critically on how tasks and resources are distributed among the nodes. Thus, a main thrust in distributed system research is to design schemes for distributing...

  • A network approach for the mechanistic classification of bioactive compounds

    Creator:
    Siebert, Trina A.
    Abstract:
    Using network architecture to describe a biological system is an effective organizational method. The utility of this approach, which generally applies to qualitative models, is enhanced by the addition of quantitative models characterizing the interactions between network nodes. A chromatophore-based signal transduction network is developed, and the highly interconnected major...

  • Distributed OpenCL : a platform for distributed, heterogeneous computing for domain scientists

    Creator:
    Dillon, William H.
    Abstract:
    It is possible to purchase, for as little as $10,000, a cluster of computers with the capability to rival the supercomputers of only a few years ago. Now, users that have little to no experience developing distributed applications or managing a cluster are in a position to do so. To...

  • The dynamic simultaneous multithreaded processor

    Creator:
    Ortiz-Arroyo, Daniel
    Abstract:
    This dissertation investigates diverse techniques to support multithreading in modern high performance processors. The mechanisms studied expand the architecture of a high performance superscalar processor to control efficiently the interaction between software-controlled and hardware-controlled multithreading. Additionally, dynamic speculative mechanisms are proposed to exploit thread-level-parallelism (TLP) and instruction-level-parallelism (ILP) on a...

  • A microarchitecture study of the counterflow pipeline principle

    Creator:
    Janik, Kenneth J.
    Abstract:
    The counterflow pipeline concept was originated by Sproull et. al.[1] to demonstrate the concept of asynchronous circuits. The basic premise is that a simple architecture with only local communication and control and a simple regular structure will result in increased performance. This thesis attempts to analyze the performance of the...

  • Cluster partitioning approaches to parallel Monte Carlo simulation on multiprocessors

    Creator:
    Ranawake, Udaya A.
    Abstract:
    We consider the parallelization of Monte Carlo algorithms for analyzing numerical models of charge transport used in semiconductor device physics. Parallel algorithms for the standard k-space Monte Carlo simulation of a three band model of bulk GaAs on hypercube multicomputers are first presented. This Monte Carlo model includes scattering due...
