Processor-based solutions are getting increasingly popular over dedicated
logic/accelerators among embedded system designers due to their flexibility and …

The performance of current multicore CPUs and GPUs is limited in computations making
frequent use of communication/synchronization between the subtasks executed in parallel …

The emulated shared memory (ESM) architectures are good candidates for future general
purpose parallel computers due to their ability to provide an easy-to-use explicitly parallel …

Modern chip-multiprocessors pack an increasing amount of computational cores with each
generation. Along with new computational power comes a problem of managing a large …

This thesis describes the implementation of a source to source compiler that translates Fork
language to REPLICA baseline language. The Fork language is a high-level programming …

The performance of current multicore CPUs and GPUs is limited in computations making
frequent use of communication/synchronization between the subtasks executed in parallel …

Synchronization is a key concept in parallel programming. General purpose languages and
architectures often assume a restricted form of synchronicity with the focus on asynchronous …

In this thesis we describe techniques for code generation and global optimization for a
PRAM-NUMA multicore architecture. We specifically focus on the REPLICA architecture …

The purpose of this thesis is to, by benchmarking different types of computation problems on
REPLICA, similar parallel architectures (SB-PRAM and XMT) and more diverse ones (Xeon …
