  2. 1. Optimizing Performance in Highly Utilized Multicores with Intelligent Prefetching

    Author : Muneeb Khan; Erik Hagersten; David Black-Schaffer; Bengt Jonsson; Per Stenström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Performance; Optimization; Prefetching; multicore; memory hierarchy; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Modern processors apply sophisticated techniques, such as deep cache hierarchies and hardware prefetching, to increase performance. Such complex hardware structures have helped improve performance in general, however, their full potential is not realized as software often utilizes the memory hierarchy inefficiently. READ MORE

  4. 2. Prefetching techniques for multiple-writer distributed virtual shared memory systems

    Author : Magnus Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; performance evaluation; prefetching; shared-memory multiprocessors; latency tolerance; distributed virtual shared memory; synchronizations; ATM;

    Abstract : .... READ MORE

  5. 3. Methods for Creating and Exploiting Data Locality

    Author : Dan Wallin; Erik Hagersten; Sverker Holmgren; David Wood; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; data locality; temporal locality; spatial locality; prefetching; cache; cache behavior; cache coherence; snooping protocols; partial differential equation; shared-memory multiprocessor; chip multiprocessor; simulation; Computer engineering; Datorteknik;

    Abstract : The gap between processor speed and memory latency has led to the use of caches in the memory systems of modern computers. Programs must use the caches efficiently and exploit data locality for maximum performance. READ MORE

  6. 4. Data Prefetching Techniques Targeting Single and a Network of Processing Nodes

    Author : Magnus Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis considers two approaches to the design of high-performance computers. In a single processing node with one processor, performance is degraded when requested data is not found in the cache, because it has to be retrieved from slower memory. READ MORE

  7. 5. Computational methods for Bayesian inference in macroeconomic models

    Author : Ingvar Strid; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The New Macroeconometrics may succinctly be described as the application of Bayesian analysis to the class of macroeconomic models called Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models. A prominent local example from this research area is the development and estimation of the RAMSES model, the main macroeconomic model in use at Sveriges Riksbank. READ MORE
