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 …

We describe and evaluate HELIX, a new technique for automatic loop parallelization that
assigns successive iterations of a loop to separate threads. We show that the inter-thread …

The food simulator is a haptic interface that presents biting force. The taste of food arises
from a combination of chemical, auditory, olfactory and haptic sensation. Haptic sensation …

The purpose of this book is to help you program shared-memory parallel systems without
risking your sanity. Nevertheless, you should think of the information in this book as a …

Data dependences in sequential programs limit parallelization because extracted threads
cannot run independently. Although thread-level speculation can avoid the need for precise …

Multicores are now ubiquitous, but programmers still write sequential code. Speculative
parallelization is an enticing approach to parallelize code while retaining the ease of …

User-defined aggregations (UDAs) are integral to large-scale data-processing systems,
such as MapReduce and Hadoop, because they let programmers express application …

Automatic generation of parallel code for general-purpose commodity processors is a
challenging computational problem. Nevertheless, there is a lot of latent thread-level …

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

We study five popular auto‐parallelization frameworks (Cetus, Par4all, Rose, ICC, and
Pluto) and compare them qualitatively as well as quantitatively. All the frameworks primarily …
