Thermal-aware scheduling of parallel jobs is becoming an increasingly critical issue in
software design for computing platforms ranging from embedded systems to large servers …

Shared memory architectures have recently experienced a large increase in thread-level
parallelism, leading to complex memory hierarchies with multiple cache memory levels and …

It is often assumed that to maximize the performance of a multithreaded application, the
number of threads created should equal the number of cores. While this may be true for …

Multi-core architectures are becoming the main design paradigm for current and future
processors. The main reason is that multi-core designs provide an effective way of …

This paper addresses the problem of dynamic thread mapping in heterogeneous many-core
systems via an efficient algorithm that maximizes performance under power constraints …

This paper addresses the problem of determining the feasible speeds and voltages of
multicore processors with hard real-time and temperature constraints. This is an important …

The widening gap between the fast-increasing transistor budget but slow-growing power
delivery and system cooling capability calls for novel architectural solutions to boost energy …

Asymmetric multicore processors (AMPs) consist of cores with the same ISA (instruction-set
architecture), but different microarchitectural features, speed, and power consumption …

Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements to migrate threads from a first
core of a processor to a second core of the processor. For example, some implementations …

Cache affinity between a process and a processor is observed when the processor cache
has accumulated some amount of the process state, ie, data or instructions. Cache affinity is …
