Thread-Level Speculation (TLS) is a promising technique that allows the parallel execution
of sequential code without relying on a prior, compile-time-dependence analysis. In this …

CPU cache is a limited but crucial storage component in modern processors, whereas the
cache timing side-channel may inadvertently leak information through the physically …

As multicore processors are deployed in mainstream computing, the need for software tools
to help parallelize programs is increasing dramatically. Data-dependence profiling is an …

Compiler-based auto-parallelization is a much-studied area but has yet to find widespread
application. This is largely due to the poor identification and exploitation of application …

Effectively migrating sequential applications to take advantage of parallelism available on
multicore platforms is a well-recognized challenge. This paper addresses important aspects …

The promise of automatic parallelization, freeing programmers from the error-prone and time-
consuming process of making efficient use of parallel processing resources, remains …

According to one technique, a virtual machine stores type profiling data for program code,
the type profiling data indicating observed types for profiled values within the program code …

This paper describes a tool using one or more executions of a sequential program to detect
parallel portions of the program. The tool, called Par wiz, uses dynamic binary …

Context-sensitive inter-procedural alias analyses are more precise than intra-procedural
alias analyses. However, context-sensitive inter-procedural alias analyses are not scalable …

Automatic parallelization is a promising strategy to improve application performance in the
multicore era. However, common programming practices such as the reuse of data …
