Abstract. This is just a glimpse to the fruitful and constant preoccupation of computer science to try to get inspired by biology, at various levels. Besides briefly discussing th...
Current processors exploit out-of-order execution and branch prediction to improve instruction level parallelism. When a branch prediction is wrong, processors flush the pipeline ...
We describe an efficient technique for out-of-core management and interactive rendering of planet sized textured terrain surfaces. The technique, called P-Batched Dynamic Adaptiv...

We introduce dependence-based pre-computation as a complement to history-based target prediction schemes. We present pre-computation in the context of virtual function calls (v-ca...
- Modern portable or embedded systems support more and more complex applications. These applications make embedded devices require not only low powerconsumption, but also high comp...
