Irregular applications such as big graph analysis, material simulations, molecular dynamics
simulations, and finite element analysis have performance problems due to their use of …

Is your memory hierarchy stop** your microprocessor from performing at the high level it
should be? Memory Systems: Cache, DRAM, Disk shows you how to resolve this problem …

The present book provides an introduction to using space-filling curves (SFC) as tools in
scientific computing. Special focus is laid on the representation of SFC and on resulting …

Our world is being revolutionized by data-driven methods: access to large amounts of data
has generated new insights and opened exciting new opportunities in commerce, science …

Profiling can accurately analyze program behavior for select data inputs. We show that
profiling can also predict program locality for inputs other than profiled ones. Here locality is …

Background The recent availability of new, less expensive high-throughput DNA sequencing
technologies has yielded a dramatic increase in the volume of sequence data that must be …

ATK-ForceField is a software package for atomistic simulations using classical interatomic
potentials. It is implemented as a part of the Atomistix ToolKit (ATK), which is a Python …

The authors and publisher of this book have used their best efforts in preparing this book.
These efforts include the development. research, and testing of the theories and programs to …

As computer memory hierarchy becomes adaptive, its performance increasingly depends on
forecasting the dynamic program locality. This paper presents a method that predicts the …

With the rapid improvement of processor speed, performance of the memory hierarchy has
become the principal bottleneck for most applications. A number of compiler transformations …
