Modeling the performance of non-deterministic parallel applications on future many-core
systems requires the development of novel simulation and emulation techniques and tools …

Simulation is the main tool for computer architects and parallel application developers for
developing new architectures and parallel algorithms on many-core machines. Simulating a …

In this paper, we study the impact of the idle/dynamic power consumption ratio on the
effectiveness of a multi-V dd/frequency manycore design. We propose a new tool called …

Metaheuristics are a group of algorithms that are often applied on hard optimization
problems and usually require much CPU time in order to find satisfying solutions …

This paper documents the features and the design of XMTSim, the cycle-accurate simulator
of the Explicit Multi-Threading (XMT) computer architecture. The Explicit Multi-Threading …

A divide and conquer strategy enables a problem to be divided into subproblems, which are
solved independently and later combined to form solutions of the original problem. For …

Transistor density has made possible the design of massively parallel architectures with
hundreds of cores on a single chip. De-signing efficient architectures with such high number …

Since 2005, chip manufacturers have stopped raising processor frequencies, which had
been the primary mean to increase computer processing power since the end of the 90s …

Transistor density has made possible the design of massively parallel architectures with
hundreds of cores on a single chip. Designing efficient architectures with such high number …

Simulation is the de facto tool for computer architecture performance evaluation. It implies
modeling the events of interest in the intended architecture to be evaluated. Traditionally …
