Commercial multicore central processing units (CPU) integrate a number of processor cores
on a single chip to support parallel execution of computational tasks. Multicore CPUs can …

The main problems with current multicore architectures are that they are difficult to program
due to the asynchrony of the underlying model of computation and that the performance is …

The recently invented thick control flow (TCF) model packs together an unbounded number
of fibers, thread-like computational entities, flowing through the same control path. This …

In the recent years the search for scalability in terms of computing power has led to very
complex parallel computer architectures which require greater control of the storage and …

Multicore CPUs integrate a number of processor cores on a single chip to support parallel
execution of computational tasks. These CPUs improve the performance over single-core …

Scalability of performance and memory bandwidth over a wide variety of computational and
memory access patterns are important goals of multicore processor design. Current …

One of the latest abstractions of parallel computing is to join the threads flowing through the
same path to entities called thick control flows (TCF). In them, components are called fibers …

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 …

The thick control flow (TCF) model is a data parallel abstraction of the thread model. It
merges homogeneous threads (called fibers) flowing through the same control path to …

This paper discusses the practice of learning and teaching computer science (CS). The first
part includes an overview of the ACM curricula guidelines and other learning objectives, a …
