We describe an imaging architecture for compressive video sensing termed programmable
pixel compressive camera (P2C2). P2C2 allows us to capture fast phenomena at frame rates …

As more emerging applications are moving to GPUs, fine-grained synchronization has
become imperative. However, their performance can be severely impaired in case of …

Thread map** has been extensively used as a technique to efficiently exploit memory
hierarchy on modern chip-multiprocessors. It places threads on cores in order to amortize …

The ubiquity of multicore processors has led programmers to write parallel and concurrent
applications to take advantage of the underlying hardware and speed up their executions. In …

The transactional approach to contention management guarantees atomicity by aborting
transactions that may violate consistency. A major challenge in this approach is to schedule …

Contention management is an important design component to a transactional memory
system. Without effective contention management to ensure forward progress, a …

In this article we exploit a combination of analytical and Machine Learning (ML) techniques
in order to build a performance model allowing to dynamically tune the level of concurrency …

Abstract Conventional Transactional Memory (TM) systems may experience performance
degradation in applications with high contention, given the fact that execution of transaction …

The adoption of multi-and many-core architectures for mainstream computing undoubtedly
brings profound changes in the way software is developed. In particular, the use of fine …

Software Transactional Memory (STM) systems provide an easy to use programming model
for concurrent code and have been found suitable for parallelizing many applications …
