We survey parallel programming models and languages using six criteria to assess their
suitability for realistic portable parallel programming. We argue that an ideal model should …

The power consumption of integrated circuits is one of the most problematic considerations
affecting the design of high-performance chips and portable devices. The study of power …

Intensive signal processing applications appear in many application domains such as video
processing or detection systems. These applications handle multidimensional data …

RNA-RNA interactions (RRIs) are essential in many biological processes, including gene
transcription, translation, and localization. They play a critical role in diseases such as …

In several application domains (detection systems, telecommunications, video processing,
etc.) the applications deal with multidimensional data. These applications are usually …

The polyhedral model is a formalism for automatic parallelization of an important class of
programs. This class includes affine control loops (ACLs), a common target for aggressive …

High-level synthesis (HLS) of loops allows efficient handling of intensive computations of an
application, eg in signal processing. Unrolling loops, the classical technique used in most …

We present new methods for scheduling structured systems of recurrence equations. We
introduce the notion of structured dependence graph and structured scheduling. We show …

There are substantial problems with exploiting parallelism, particularly massive parallelism.
One attempt to solve these problems is general-purpose parallelism, which searches for …

RNA-RNA interactions (RRI) play an important role in various biological processes such as
gene transcription, and are known to play a critical role in diseases such as cancer and …
