Inherent within complex instruction set architectures such as x86 are inefficiencies that do not exist in a simpler ISAs. Modern x86 implementations decode instructions into one o...

Abstract-- Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) can provide performance advantages with a lower resource consumption (e.g., energy) than conventional CPUs. In this paper, we show...
Transactional Memory (TM) is considered as one of the most promising paradigms for developing concurrent applications. TM has been shown to scale well on multiple cores when the d...

In this paper we investigate feedback-directed dynamic selection between different implementations of atomic blocks. We initially execute atomic blocks using STM with optimistic c...
Embedded systems are often implemented on FPGA devices and 25% of the time [2] include a soft processor— a processor built using the FPGA reprogrammable fabric. Because of their...
