methodology for the prediction of the performance of
computer software systems from design level
specifications and continuing through implementation.
The effects of synchronized behavior, such as results
from data reservation in multi-thread executions of
data base systems, and competition for host system
resources are incorporated. The previous methodology
uses hierarchical graphs to represent the execution of
software on some host computer system (or on some
abstract machine). Performance metrics such as response
time were obtained from analysis of these graphs
assuming execution of a single copy on a dedicated
host. This paper discusses the mapping of these
execution graphs upon queueing network models of the
host computing environment to yield performance metric
estimates for more complex and realistic processing
environments.",

in Smalltalk-80, named Actalk. This attempt is designed
as a minimal extension preserving the Smalltalk-80
language. Actors are active and autonomous objects, as
opposed to standard passive Smalltalk-80 objects. An
actor is built from a standard Smalltalk-80 object by
associating a process with it and by serializing the
messages it could receive into a queue. We will study
the cohabitation and synergy between the two models of
computations: transfer of active messages (message and
thread of activity) between passive objects, and
exchange of passive messages between active objects. We
propose a sketch of methodology in order to have a safe
combination between these two programming paradigms.",

shared-memory parallel programs. An access anomaly
occurs when two concurrent execution threads both write
(or one thread reads and the other writes) the same
shared memory location without coordination. Approaches
to the detection of access anomalies include static
analysis, post-mortem trace analysis, and on-the-fly
monitoring. A general on-the-fly algorithm for access
anomaly detection is presented, which can be applied to
programs with both nested fork-join and synchronization
operations. The advantage of on-the-fly detection over
post-mortem analysis is that the amount of storage used
can be greatly reduced by data compression techniques
and by discarding information as soon as it becomes
obsolete. In the algorithm presented, the amount of
storage required at any time depends only on the number
V of shared variables being monitored and the number N
of threads, not on the number of synchronizations. Data
compression is achieved by the use of two techniques
called merging and subtraction. Upper bounds on storage
are shown to be V \$MUL N${}^2$ for merging and V \$MUL
N for subtraction.",

design, few traces of parallel programs are available
for analyzing the effect of design trade-offs. Existing
trace collection methods have serious drawbacks:
trap-driven methods often slow down program execution
by more than 1000 times, significantly perturbing
program behavior; microcode modification is faster, but
the technique is neither general nor portable. This
paper describes a new tool, called MPTRACE, for
collecting traces of multithreaded parallel programs
executing on shared-memory multiprocessors. MPTRACE
requires no hardware or microcode modification; it
collects complete program traces; it is portable; and
it reduces execution-time dilation to less than a
factor 3. MPTRACE is based on inline tracing, in which
a program is automatically modified to produce trace
information as it executes. We show how the use of
compiler flow analysis techniques can reduce the amount
of data collected and therefore the runtime dilation of
the traced program. We also discuss problematic issues
concerning buffering and writing of trace data on a
multiprocessor.",

auto-scheduling, which brings together the control flow
and data flow models by combining most of the
advantages and excluding the major disadvantages of the
two familiar models. Auto-scheduling can be viewed
either as an abstract architectural model or as a
parallel program compilation framework. While in
ordinary environments parallel task creation and
scheduling is done by the operating system, or at best
the run-time library, in auto-scheduling task creation
and scheduling is performed by the user program itself,
making parallel processing affordable at
fine-granularity levels. Under auto-scheduling the
compiler does not only generate object code, but it
`lends' its knowledge about a program to the parallel
instruction threads of that program, allowing them to
manage, activate, and schedule themselves at run-time,
without the need of an external monitor. This is done
by means of special drive-code injected by the compiler
to each schedulable unit of a program (task, thread,
etc). We argue that auto-scheduling offers an optimal
approach for exploiting parallelism on real parallel
computer systems.",

strategy for tolerating latency in multiprocessors and,
through limited empirical studies, shown to offer
promise. This paper develops an analytical model of
multithreaded processor behavior based on a small set
of architectural and program parameters. The model
gives rise to a large Markov chain, which is solved to
obtain a formula for processor efficiency in terms of
the number of threads per processor, the remote
reference rate, the latency, and the cost of switching
between threads. It is shown that a multithreaded
processor exhibits three operating regimes: linear
(efficiency is proportional to the number of threads),
transition, and saturation (efficiency depends only on
the remote reference rate and switch cost). Formulae
for regime boundaries are derived. The model is
embellished to reflect cache degradation due to
multithreading, using an analytical model of cache
behavior, demonstrating that returns diminish as the
number threads becomes large. Predictions from the
embellished model correlate well with published
empirical measurements. Prescriptive use of the model
under various scenarios indicates that multithreading
is effective, but the number of useful threads per

the ANSI C programming language to support medium- to
large-grain parallel programming in both shared- and
distributed-memory environments. pC aims to make
programming for parallel processors accessible to the C
community by enriching the C programming model with a
small set of constructs supporting parallelism. pC
supports shared- and distributed-memory environments
via a hierarchical computational model. A pC
application comprises a static collection of tasks with
disjoint memory spaces. A dynamic collection of threads
runs within each task, sharing the data and code of the
task. Language constructs specify concurrent execution
of threads within a single task. Additional language
constructs specify the interactions between threads
through the following mechanisms: initiation of threads
in remote tasks by remote function call, mailbox-based
message passing, and synchronization primitives. The
paper introduces the computational model and language
constructs of pC and describes a prototype pC compiler
and run-time system for the Mach operating system.
Several program examples illustrate the utility of pC
constructs.",

uses the front end of the APL/370 compiler and imposes
the same restrictions, but requires no parallelization
directives from the user. The run-time environment is
based on simple synchronization primitives and is
implemented using Mach threads. They report the
speedups of several compiled programs running on RP3
under the Mach operating system. The current
implementation exploits only data parallelism. They
discuss the relationship between the style of an APL

UNIX System V Release 4 and its relationship to the
UNIX process model abstraction. {\bf /proc} began as a
debugger interface superseding {\em ptrace(2)\/} but
has evolved into a general interface to the process
model. It provides detailed process information and
control mechanisms that are independent of operating
system implementation details and portable to a large
class of real architectures. Control is thorough.
Processes can be stopped and started on demand and can
be instructed to stop on events of interest: specific
machine faults, specific signals, and entry to or exit
from specific system calls. Complete encapsulation of a
process's execution environment is possible, as well as
non-intrusive inspection. Breakpoint debugging is
relieved from the ambiguities of signals. Security
provisions are complete and non-destructive.\par
The addition of multi-threading to the process model
motivates a proposal for a substantial change to the
{\bf /proc} interface that would replace the
single-level flat structure with a hierarchy of
directories containing status and control files. This
restructuring would eliminate all {\em ioctl(2)\/}
operations in favor of {\em read(2)\/} and {\em
write(2)\/} operations, which generalize more easily to
networks .",

stride problems found in existing supercomputers. The
second hot spot problem occurs in designs that use two
separate memory accesses to lock and unlock critical
sections (split transaction) and employ a first
come/first serve queuing mechanism for shared memory
locations. A bistability in throughput brought about by
these conditions is analyzed and experimentally
demonstrated. Simple equations are presented which
predict the throughput at a critical section of code as
a function of the number of applied threads. In
particular, the mean size of the work items that can be
executed in parallel without the possibility of
stalling is proportional to the square of the number of
threads applied.",

the parallelization constructs of the C Threads
library. IPGCDC computes the g.c.d. and its co-factors
of two polynomials in $ Z(x_1, \ldots {}, x_r) $, by
first reducing the problem to multiple calculations of
modular polynomial g.c.d.'s in $ Z_p(x_1, \ldots {},
x_r) $, and then recovering the result by Chinese
remaindering. After studying timings of the SAC-2
algorithm, the author first parallelizes the Chinese
remainder algorithm, and then parallelizes the main
loop of IPGCDC by executing the modular g.c.d.
computations concurrently. Finally, he determines
speed-up's and speed-up efficiencies of our parallel
algorithms over a wide range of polynomials. The
experiments were conducted on a 12 processor Encore

maintaining high processor utilization in the presence
of large memory or interprocessor communication
latency. While waiting for a remote reference to
complete, the processor switches to another execution
thread. Several realizations of this concept have been
proposed, but little data is available on the actual
costs and benefits. This paper presents an analytical
model of multithreaded execution, which may serve to
guide and explain empirical studies. The model is based
on three key parameters: thread run-length, switch
cost, and latency. A closed-form expression for
processor utilization is obtained for deterministic and
stochastic run-lengths. The derivation involves
identifying specific patterns in the very large set of
equations forming the Markov chain. Using this result,
three operating regimes are identified for a
multithreaded processor subject to long latencies:
linear, where utilization is proportional to the number
of threads per processor, saturation, where utilization
is determined only by the run-length and switch cost,
and transition between the other regimes. The model can
be used to estimate the effects of several
architectural variations.",

dynamic scheduling. This thesis explores how the need
for multithreaded execution can be addressed as a
compilation problem, to achieve switching rates
approaching what hardware mechanisms might provide.
Compiler-controlled multithreading is examined through
compilation of a lenient parallel language, ID90, for a
threaded abstract machine, TAM. A key feature of TAM is
that synchronization is explicit and occurs only at the
start of a thread, so that a simple cost model can be
applied. A scheduling hierarchy allows the compiler to
schedule logically related threads closely together in
time and to use registers across threads. Remote
communication is via message sends and split-phase
memory accesses. Messages and memory replies are
received by compiler-generated message handlers which
rapidly integrate these events with thread scheduling.
To compile ID90 for TAM, we employ a new parallel
intermediate form, dual-graphs, with distinct control
and data arcs. This provides a clean framework for
partitioning the program into threads, scheduling
threads, and managing registers under asynchronous
execution. The compilation process is described and
preliminary measurements of the effectiveness of the
approach are discussed. Previous to this work,
execution of Id90 programs was limited to specialized
architectures or dataflow graph interpreters. By
compiling via TAM, we have achieved more than two
orders of magnitude performance improvement over graph
interpreters on conventional machines, making this Id90
implementation competitive with machines supporting
dynamic instruction scheduling in hardware. Timing
measurements show that our Id90 implementation on a
standard RISC can achieve a performance close to Id90
on one processor of the recent dataflow machine
Monsoon. It can be seen that the TAM partitioning
presented in this thesis reduces the control overhead
substantially and that more aggressive partitioning
would yield modest additional benefit. There is,
however, considerable room for improvement in
scheduling and register management.",

many approaches to parallel programming. Threads can be
supported either by the operating system kernel or by
user-level library code in the application address
space, but neither approach has been fully
satisfactory. This paper addresses this dilemma. First,
we argue that the performance of kernel threads is {\em
inherently\/} worse than that of user-level threads,
rather than this being an artifact of existing
implementations; managing parallelism at the user level
is essential to high-performance parallel computing.
Next, we argue that the problems encountered in
integrating user-level threads with other system
services is a consequence of the lack of kernel support
for user-level threads provided by contemporary
multiprocessor operating systems; kernel threads are
the {\em wrong abstraction\/} on which to support
user-level management of parallelism. Finally, we
describe the design, implementation, and performance of
a new kernel interface and user-level thread package
that together provide the same functionality as kernel
threads without compromising the performance and
flexibility advantages of user-level management of
parallelism.",

sequences, an {\em optimistic\/} mechanism for
implementing simple atomic operations (such as {\em
Test-And-Set\/}) on a uniprocessor. A thread that is
suspended within a restartable atomic sequence is
resumed by the operating system at the beginning of the
sequence, rather than at the point of suspension. This
guarantees that the thread eventually executes the
sequence {\em atomically\/}. A restartable atomic
sequence has significantly less overhead than other
software-based synchronization mechanisms, such as
kernel emulation or software reservation. Consequently,
it is an attractive alternative for use on
uniprocessors that do no support atomic operations.
Even on processors that do support atomic operations in
hardware, restartable atomic sequences can have lower
overhead. We describe different implementations of
restartable atomic sequences for the Mach 3.0 and Taos
operating systems. These systems' thread management
packages rely on atomic operations to implement
higher-level mutual exclusion facilities. We show that
improving the performance of low-level atomic
operations, and therefore mutual exclusion mechanisms,
improves application performance.",

abstract = "Multithreading has been proposed as a means of
tolerating long memory latencies in multiprocessor
systems. Fundamentally, it allows multiple concurrent
subsystems (cpu, network, and memory) to be utilized
simultaneously. This is advantageous on uniprocessor
systems as well, since the processor is utilized while
the memory system services misses. We examine
multithreading on high-performance uniprocessors as a
means of achieving better cost/performance on multiple
processes. Processor utilization and cache behavior are
studied both analytically and through simulation of
timesharing and multithreading using interleaved
reference traces. Multithreading is advantageous when
one has large on-chip caches (32 kilobytes),
associativity of two, and a memory access cost of
roughly 50 instruction times. At this point, a small
number of threads (2-4) is sufficient, the thread
switch need not be extraordinarily fast, and the memory
system need support only one or two outstanding misses.
The increase in processor real-estate to support
multithreading is modest, given the size of the cache
and floating-point units. A surprising observation is
that miss ratios may be lower with multithreading than
with timesharing under a steady-state load. This occurs
because switch-on-miss multithreading introduces unfair
thread scheduling, giving more CPU cycles to processes
with better cache behavior.",

various categories of architectures that are oriented
toward parallel computation models: vector
architectures, shared memory multiprocessors, massively
parallel machines, message-passing architectures,
VLIWs, and multithreaded architectures. We then
describe a variety of optimization techniques that can
be applied to sequential programs to effectively
utilize the vector and parallel processing units. After
an overview of basic dependence analysis, we present
restructuring transformations on DO loops targeted both
to vectorization and to concurrent execution,
interprocedural and pointer analysis, task scheduling,
instruction level parallelization, and
compiler-assisted data placement. We conclude that
although tremendous advances have been made in
dependence theory and in the development of a `toolkit'
of transformations, parallel systems are used most
effectively when the programmer interacts in the
optimization process.",

multiprocessors. Although they possess massive amounts
of available resources, it is often difficult to
exploit these resources efficiently. Compilers that can
cope with the complexities of these systems are being
constructed, but their scope of effect is often limited
due to the complexity of the analysis and the lack of
runtime information. Novel architectures that can
better tolerate latencies are under construction, but
their effectiveness is unproven, and they do little to
ease the burden on current commercial machines.
Therefore we are designing a runtime system, called
VISA, that attempts to avoid and tolerate latencies on
conventional distributed memory multiprocessors, as
well as provide a single addressing space to ease the
burden of programming or code generation. The goal of
our runtime system is to serve as a tool for studying
the effects of latency avoidance and latency tolerance
on programs running on these conventional
architectures. In this paper we describe the design and
implementation of multithreading in the VISA runtime
system for the purpose of latency tolerance. In
particular, we examine machine-independent designs for
thread representation, thread switching, and
split-phased transactions. We quantify the cost of
multithreading for our environment, present a test
program for which multithreading degrades performance,
and present a program for which multithreading enhances
performance.",

unit, its contents are addressable as ordinary CPU
registers using relatively short addresses. From the
main memory perspective, it is content addressable. In
this register-cache organization, a number of registers
are grouped into a block of registers where a register
in a block is accessed using an offset from the address
of the block, an offset value which is embedded in the
compiler generated code. The binding of register block
locations to register-cache line addresses is
adaptively performed at runtime, thus resulting in a
dynamically allocated register file. In this execution
model, a program is compiled into a number of
instruction threads called super-actors. A super-actor
becomes ready for execution only when its input data
are physically residing in the register-cache and space
is reserved in the register-cache to store its
result.",

abstract = "We describe an approach to implementing a wide-range
of concurrency paradigms in high-level (symbolic)
programming languages. The focus of our discussion is
STING, a dialect of Scheme, that supports lightweight
threads of control and virtual processors as
first-class objects. Given the significant degree to
which the behavior of these objects may be customized,
we can easily express a variety of concurrency
paradigms and linguistic structures within a common
framework without loss of efficiency. Unlike parallel
systems that rely on operating system services for
managing concurrency, STING implements concurrency
management entirely in terms of Scheme objects and
procedures. It, therefore, permits users to optimize
the runtime behavior of their applications without
requiring knowledge of the underlying runtime system.
This paper concentrates on (a) the implications of the
design for building asynchronous concurrency
structures, (b) organizing large-scale concurrent
computations, and (c) implementing robust programming
environments for symbolic computing.",

abstract machine for reducing combinator graphs are
presented. The abstract machine, called TIGRE, exhibits
reduction rates that, for similar kinds of combinator
graphs on similar kinds of hardware, compare favorably
with previously reported techniques. Furthermore, TIGRE
maps easily and efficiently onto standard computer
architectures, particularly those that allow a
restricted form of self-modifying code. This provides
some indication that the conventional ``stored
program'' organization of computer systems is not
necessarily an inappropriate one for functional
programming language implementations.\par
This is not to say, however, that present day computer
systems are well equipped to reduce combinator graphs.
In particular, the behavior of the cache memory has a
significant effect on performance. In order to study
and quantify this effect, trace-driven cache
simulations of a TIGRE graph reducer running on a
reduced instruction-set computer are conducted. The
results of these simulations are presented with the
following hardware-cache parameters varied: cache size,
block size, associativity, memory update policy, and
write-allocation policy. To begin with, the cache
organization of a commercially available system is used
and then the performance sensitivity with respect to
variations of each parameter are measured. From the
results of the simulation study, a conclusion is made
that combinator-graph reduction using TIGRE runs most
efficiently when using a cache memory with an
allocate-on-write-miss strategy, moderately large block
size (preferably with subblock placement), and
copy-back memory updates.",

efficiently executed on a multiprocessor and can be
executed in parallel by combining a Smalltalk process
with a Mach thread and executing the process on the
thread. HoME is nearly the same as ordinary Smalltalk
except that multiple processes may execute in parallel.
Thus, almost all applications running on ordinary
Smalltalk can be executed on HoME without changes in
their code. HoME was designed and implemented based on
the following fundamental policies: (1) theoretically,
an infinite number of processes can become active; (2)
the moment a process is scheduled, it becomes active;
(3) no process switching occurs; (4) HoME is equivalent
to ordinary Smalltalk except for the previous three
policies. The performance of the current implementation
of HoME running on OMRON LUNA-88K, which had four
processors, was measured by benchmarks which execute in
parallel with multiple processes. In all benchmarks,
the results showed that HoME's performance is much
better than HPS on the same workstation.",

solution of large-scale numerical problems. The
difficulty of efficiently hand-coding parallelism, and
the limitations of parallelizing compilers, have
nonetheless restricted its use by scientific
programmers. In this paper we propose a new paradigm,
{\em chores}, for the run-time support of parallel
computing on shared-memory multiprocessors. We consider
specifically uniform memory access shared-memory
environments, although the chore paradigm should also
be appropriate for use within the clusters of a
large-scale nonuniform memory access machine. We argue
that chore systems attain both the high efficiency of
compiler approaches for the common case of data
parallelism, and the flexibility and performance of
user-level thread approaches for functional
parallelism. These benefits are achieved within a
single, simple conceptual model that almost entirely
relieves the programmer and compiler from concerns of
granularity, scheduling, and enforcement of
synchronization constraints. Measurements of a
prototype implementation demonstrate that the chore
model can be supported more efficiently than can
traditional approaches to either data or functional
parallelism alone.",

compile-time program transformation, for accessing

contrast with RPC-style access, where the access is
performed remotely, and with data migration, where the
data is moved so that it is local, computation
migration moves put of the current thread to the
processor where the data resides. The access is
performed at the remote processor, and the migrated
thread portion continues to run on that same processor;
this makes subsequent accesses in the thread portion
local. The authors describe an implementation of
computation migration that consists of two parts: a
implementation that migrates single activation frames,
and a high-level language annotation that allows a
programmer to express when migration is desired. They
performed experiments using two applications; these
experiments demonstrate that computation migration is a
valuable alternative to RPC and data migration.",

propose a notion of graph types, which allow common

regular languages of routing expressions to specify
relative addresses of extra pointers in a canonical

abstract = "Through analysis and experiments, this paper
investigates two-phase waiting algorithms to minimize
the cost of waiting for synchronization in large-scale
multiprocessors. In a two-phase algorithm, a thread
first waits by polling a synchronization variable. If
the cost of polling reaches a limit {\em Lpoll\/} and
further waiting is necessary, the thread is blocked,
incurring an additional fixed cost, {\em B}. The choice
of {\em Lpoll\/} is a critical determinant of the
performance of two-phase algorithms. We focus on
methods for statically determining {\em Lpoll\/}
because the run-time overhead of dynamically
determining {\em Lpoll\/} can be comparable to the cost
of blocking in large-scale multiprocessor systems with
lightweight threads. Our experiments show that {\em
always-block\/} ({\em Lpoll\/} = 0) is a good waiting
algorithm with performance that is usually close to the
best of the algorithms compared. We show that even
better performance can be achieved with a static choice
of {\em Lpoll\/} based on knowledge of likely wait-time
distributions. Motivated by the observation that
different synchronization types exhibit different
wait-time distributions, we prove that a static choice
of {\em Lpoll\/} can yield close to optimal on-line
performance against an adversary that is restricted to
choosing wait times from a fixed family of probability
distributions. This result allows us to make an optimal
static choice of {\em Lpoll\/} based on synchronization
type. For exponentially distributed wait times, we
prove that setting {\em Lpoll\/} = 1n(e-1){\em B\/}
results in a waiting cost that is no more than {\em
e/(e-1)\/} times the cost of an optimal off-line
algorithm. For uniformly distributed wait times, we
prove that setting {\em L\/}poll=1/2(square root of 5
-1){\em B\/} results in a waiting cost that is no more
than (square root of 5 + 1)/2 (the golden ratio) times
the cost of an optimal off-line algorithm. Experimental
measurements of several parallel applications on the
Alewife multiprocessor simulator corroborate our
theoretical findings.",

abstract = "We propose and evaluate empirically the performance of
a dynamic processor-scheduling policy for
multiprogrammed shared-memory multiprocessors. The
policy is dynamic in that it reallocates processors
from one parallel job to another based on the currently
realized parallelism of those jobs. The policy is
suitable for implementation in production systems in
that: ---It interacts well with very efficient
user-level thread packages, leaving to them many
low-level thread operations that do not require kernel
intervention. ---It deals with thread blocking due to
user I/O and page faults. ---It ensures fairness in
delivering resources to jobs. ---Its performance,
measured in terms of average job response time, is
superior to that of previously proposed schedulers,
including those implemented in existing systems. It
provides good performance to very short, sequential
(e.g., interactive) requests. We have evaluated our
scheduler and compared it to alternatives using a set
of prototype implementations running on a Sequent
Symmetry multiprocessor. Using a number of parallel
applications with distinct qualitative behaviors, we
have both evaluated the policies according to the major
criterion of overall performance and examined a number
of more general policy issues, including the advantage
of ``space sharing'' over ``time sharing'' the
processors of a multiprocessor, and the importance of
cooperation between the kernel and the application in
reallocating processors between jobs. We have also
compared the policies according to other criteia
important in real implementations, in particular,
fairness and respone time to short, sequential
requests. We conclude that a combination of performance
and implementation considerations makes a compelling
case for our dynamic scheduling policy.",

locks are needed for concurrency control, and how
calculation termination is detected. The algorithm
designed with no dataflow outperforms the algorithms
with dataflow. Approximately linear speedup is achieved
by the no dataflow algorithm with sufficient workload
and primary memory. An exclusive access working set
model and a shared access working set model describe
the interactions between two or more threads' working
sets when access to each page of data is exclusive or

abstract = "Traditional methods of providing protection in memory
systems do so at the cost of increased context switch
time and/or increased storage to record access
permissions for processes. With the advent of computers
that supported cycle-by-cycle multithreading,
protection schemes that increase the time to perform a
context switch are unacceptable, but protecting
unrelated processes from each other is still necessary
if such machines are to be used in non-trusting
environments. This paper examines {\em guarded
pointers\/}, a hardware technique which uses tagged
64-bit pointer objects to implement capability-based
addressing. Guarded pointers encode a segment
descriptor into the upper bits of every pointer,
eliminating the indirection and related performance
penalties associated with traditional implementations
of capabilities. All processes share a single 54-bit
virtual address space, and access is limited to the
data that can be referenced through the pointers that a
process has been issued. Only one level of address
translation is required to perform a memory reference.
Sharing data between processes is efficient, and
protection states are defined to allow fast protected
subsystem calls and create unforgeable data keys.",

support in Opal, a single-address-space operating
system designed for wide-address (64-bit)
architectures. Opal threads execute within protection
domains in a single shared virtual address space.
Sharing is simplified, because addresses are context
independent. There is no loss of protection, because
addressability and access are independent; the right to
access a segment is determined by the protection domain
in which a thread executes. This model enables
beneficial code-and data-sharing patterns that are
currently prohibitive, due in part to the inherent
restrictions of multiple address spaces, and in part to
Unix programming style. We have designed and
implemented an Opal prototype using the Mach 3.0
microkernel as a base. Our implementation demonstrates
how a single-address-space structure can be supported
alongside of other environments on a modern microkernel
operating system, using modern wide-address
architectures. This article justifies the Opal model
and its goals for sharing and protection, presents the
system and its abstractions, describes the prototype
implementation, and reports experience with integrated
applications.",

delays associated with instruction dependencies and
memory latencies. Multithreaded architectures try to
tolerate such delays by sharing the pipeline with
independent instruction threads. This paper proposes a
comprehensive analytical framework to quantitate the
performance potential of a wide spectrum of
multithreaded machines ranging from those that are
capable of switching threads every cycle to those that
switch threads only on long inter-instruction
latencies. For machines in the former category, the
proposed analytic model provides an exact solution for
pipeline utilization which is significantly better than
lower and upper bounds obtainable from simple
approximation techniques. Unlike previously published
analytic models of such systems, the Markov model
developed here accepts a general distribution for the
interlock delays with multiple latencies. For machines
in the latter category, the paper provides an
approximate analytic model which is simpler than
previously published analytic models. The models have
been verified using previously published analytical and
simulation-based results. As compared to the simulation
alternative, the models provide a much quicker estimate
of pipeline utilization as a function of a number of
threads.",

microprocessors as the compute engines in large-scale
multiprocessors. However, given that the majority of
the microprocessors are sold in the workstation market,
not in the multiprocessor market, it is only natural
that architectural features that benefit only
multiprocessors are less likely to be adopted in
commodity microprocessors. In this paper, we explore
multiple-context processors, an architectural technique
proposed to hide the large memory latency in
multiprocessors. We show that while current
multiple-context designs work reasonably well for
multiprocessors, they are ineffective in hiding the
much shorter uniprocessor latencies using the limited
parallelism found in workstation environments. We
propose an alternative design that combines the best
features of two existing approaches, and present
simulation results that show it yields better
performance for both multiprogrammed workloads on a
workstation and parallel applications on a
multiprocessor. By addressing the needs of the
workstation environment, our proposal makes multiple
contexts more attractive for commodity
microprocessors.",

describes correct and incorrect breakpoint
implementations. Automatic search of the model's state
space shows that the correct implementation does miss a
breakpoint. The results apply even to debuggers like
dbx and gdb, which are apparently for single-threaded
programs; when the user evaluates an expression

a finite, continuous-time Markov chain whose solution
can be obtained efficiently. Although it applies more
generally, our modeling approach supports an important
class of probability distributions that can be used to
approximate the distributions of interest with
sufficient accuracy in most practical cases. This
results in an efficient and accurate model across a

abstract = "Multithreaded processors are used to tolerate long
memory latencies. By executing threads loaded in
multiple hardware contexts, an otherwise idle processor
can keep busy, thus increasing its utilization.
However, the larger size of a multi-thread working set
can have a negative effect on cache conflict misses. In
this paper we evaluate the two phenomena together,
examining their combined effect on execution time. The
usefulness of multiple hardware contexts depends on:
program data locality, cache organization and degree of
multiprocessing. Multiple hardware contexts are most
effective on programs that have been optimized for data
locality. For these programs, execution time dropped
with increasing contexts, over widely varying
architectures. With unoptimized applications, multiple
contexts had limited value. The best performance was
seen with only two contexts, and only on uniprocessors
and small multiprocessors. The behavior of the
unoptimized applications changed more noticeably with
variations in cache associativity and cache hierarchy,
unlike the optimized programs. As a mechanism for
exploiting program parallelism, an additional processor
is clearly better than another context. However, there
were many configurations for which the addition of a
few hardware contexts brought as much or greater
performance than a larger multiprocessor with fewer
than the optimal number of contexts.",

`critical path' of a Cilk computation can be used to
accurately model performance. Consequently, a Cilk
programmer can focus on reducing the work and critical

and other runtime scheduling issues. We also prove that
for the class of `fully strict' (well-structured)
programs, the Cilk scheduler achieves space, time, and
communication bounds all within a constant factor of
optimal. The Cilk runtime system currently runs on the
Connection Machine CM5 massively parallel processor

required for the solution of Partial Differential
Equations (PDEs) on multiprocessors. Multithreading is
used as a means of exploring concurrency at the
processor level in order to tolerate synchronization
costs inherent to traditional (non-threaded) parallel
adaptive PDE solvers. Our preliminary analysis for
parallel, adaptive PDE solvers indicates that
multithreading can be used as a mechanism to mask
overheads required for the dynamic balancing of
processor workloads with computations required for the
actual numerical solution of the PDEs. Also,
multithreading can simplify the implementation of
dynamic load-balancing algorithms, a task that is very
difficult for traditional data parallel adaptive PDE
computations. Unfortunately, multithreading does not
always simplify program complexity, often makes code
re-usability difficult, and increases software
complexity.",

simultaneously. Instruction threads are generated at
compile-time using control dependence analysis.
Inter-thread data dependences are also analyzed at
compile-time. However, resource binding of instructions
is performed only at run time, to offer binary
compatibility across different implementations. New
thread generation algorithms, being prototyped in a
version of the TOBEY compiler, are also described. The
SPSM architecture includes novel fork/suspend
instructions which are used to identify independent
instruction threads, and also to specify compile-time
control flow speculations associated with inter-thread
dependences.",

computational threads in programs. In this paper, we
show how to mechanically extract a family of practical
algorithms for computing slices directly from semantic
specifications. These algorithms are based on combining
the notion of {\em dynamic dependence tracking\/} in
term rewriting systems with a program representation
whose behavior is defined via an equational logic. Our
approach is distinguished by the fact that changes to
the behavior of the slicing algorithm can be
accomplished through simple changes in rewriting rules
that define the semantics of the program
representation. Thus, e.g., different notions of
dependence may be specified, properties of
language-specific datatypes can be exploited, and
various time, space, and precision tradeoffs may be
made. This flexibility enables us to generalize the
traditional notions of static and dynamic slices to
that of a {\em constrained\/} slice, where any subset
of the inputs of a program may be supplied.",

abstract = "Automatic detection of {\em task-level parallelism\/}
(also referred to as functional, DAG, unstructured, or
thread parallelism) at various levels of program
granularity is becoming increasingly important for
parallelizing and back-end compilers. Parallelizing
compilers detect iteration-level or coarser granularity
parallelism which is suitable for parallel computers;
detection of parallelism at the statement-or
operation-level is essential for most modern
microprocessors, including superscalar and VLIW
architectures. In this article we study the problem of
detecting, expressing, and optimizing task-level
parallelism, where ``task'' refers to a program
statement of arbitrary granularity. Optimizing the
amount of functional parallelism (by allowing
synchronization between arbitrary nodes) in sequential
programs requires the notion of {\em precedence\/} in
terms of paths in graphs which incorporate control and
data dependences. Precedences have been defined before
in a different context; however, the definition was
dependent on the ideas of parallel execution and time.
We show that the problem of determining precedences
statically is NP-complete. Determining precedence
relationships is useful in finding the essential data

set of essential data dependences; finding this minimum
set is NP-hard and NP-easy. We also propose a heuristic
algorithm for finding the set of essential data

Algorithms for achieving both forms of optimality are
given, both of them based on ordinary LALR(1) parse
tables. Optimality and correctness proofs, which are
merely outlined in this communication, are made
intuitive thanks to the concept of a {\em well-formed
list of threaded trees}, a natural extension of the

on incremental parsing.",

control-flow and data-flow processor models by forming
some amalgam of the two. They combine sequential
behaviour from the control-flow model with concurrent
aspects from data-flow design. Some multithreaded
processor designs have added just a little concurrency
to control-flow or limited sequential execution to
data-flow. This thesis demonstrates that more
significant benefits may be obtained by a more radical
amalgamation of the two models. A data-driven
microthread model is proposed, where a microthread is a
short control-flow code sequence. To demonstrate the
efficiency of this model, a suitable multithreaded
processor, called Anaconda, is designed and evaluated.
Anaconda incorporates a scalable temporally predictable
memory tree structure with distributed virtual address
translation and memory protection. A temporally
predictable cached direct-mapped matching store is
provided to synchronise data to microthreads. Code is
prefetched into an instruction cache before execution
commences. Earliest-deadline-first or fixed-priority
scheduling is supported via a novel hardware priority
queue. Control-flow execution is performed by a
modified Alpha 21064 styled pipeline which assists
comparison with commercial processors.",

very active research area in recent years. Much of this
work has concentrated on programs that use arrays as
their primary data structures. To date, little work has
been done to address the problem of supporting programs
that use pointer-based dynamic data structures. The
techniques developed for supporting SPMD execution of
array-based programs rely on the fact that arrays are
statically defined and directly addressable. Recursive
data structures do not have these properties, so new
techniques must be developed. In this article, we
describe an execution model for supporting programs
that use pointer-based dynamic data structures. This
model uses a simple mechanism for migrating a thread of
control based on the layout of heap-allocated data and
introduces parallelism using a technique based on
futures and lazy task creation. We intend to exploit
this execution model using compiler analyses and
automatic parallelization techniques. We have
implemented a prototype system, which we call {\em
Olden}, that runs on the Intel iPSC/860 and the
Thinking Machines CM-5. We discuss our implementation
and report on experiments with five benchmarks.",

revealed a number of errors in the ECMA PCTE standards,

discrepancies between the Ada and C bindings and errors

their test harness has been designed to allow easy
porting from one PCTE implementation to another, and
also from one Ada compilation system to another; some
major constraints were imposed by the use of the C
interfaces as the underlying platform, particularly
regarding Ada's multi-threading abilities. The
advantages of using the interfaces include the benefits
of being able to implement tools in Ada instead of C;

techniques that enable a strict separation of an
application from its user interface. These techniques
include separating the control-flow aspects of the
application and user interface: they are concurrent and
may contain many threads. Chiron also separates
windowing and look-and-feel issues from dialogue and
abstract presentation decisions via mechanisms
employing a client-server architecture. To separate
application code from user interface code, user
interface agents called {\em artists\/} are attached to
instances of application abstract data types (ADTs).
Operations on ADTs within the application implicitly
trigger user interface activities within the artists.
Multiple artists can be attached to ADTs, providing
multiple views and alternative forms of access and
manipulation by either a single user or by multiple
users. Each artist and the application run in separate
threads of control. Artists maintain the user interface
by making remote calls to an abstract depiction
hierarchy in the Chiron server, insulting the user
interface code from the specifics of particular
windowing systems and toolkits. The Chiron server and
clients execute in separate processes. The
client-server architecture also supports multilingual
systems: mechanisms are demonstrated that support
clients written in programming languages other than
that of the server while nevertheless supporting
object-oriented server concepts. The system has been
used in several universities and research and
development projects. It is available by anonymous

restrictions on the code that can be run in a message
handler. This paper describes a new software mechanism,
optimistic active messages (OAM), that eliminates these
restrictions; OAMs allow arbitrary user code to execute
in handlers, and also allow handlers to block. Despite
this gain in expressiveness, OAMs perform as well as
AMs. We used OAM as the base for a remote procedure
calling (RPC) system, Optimistic RPC (ORPC), for the
CM-5 multiprocessor; it consists of an optimized thread
package and a stub compiler that hides communication
details from the programmer. ORPC is 1.5 to 5 times
faster than traditional RPC (TRPC) for small messages
and performs as well as AMs. Applications that
primarily communicate using large data transfers or are
fairly coarse-grained perform equally well. For
applications that send many short messages, however,
the ORPC and AM implementations are up to 3 times
faster than the TRPC implementations. Using ORPC,
programmers obtain the benefits of well-proven
programming abstractions, do not have to be concerned
with communication details, and yet obtain nearly the
performance of hand-coded AM programs.",

abstract = "A user interface study concerning the usage
effectiveness of selected retrieval modes was conducted
using an experimental text retrieval system, TeSS,
giving access to online documentation of certain
programming tools. Four modes of TeSS were compared:
(1) browsing, (2) conventional boolean retrieval, (3)
boolean retrieval based on Venn diagrams, and (4) these
three combined. Further, the modes of TeSS were
compared to the use of printed manuals. The subjects
observed were 87 computing new to them. In the
experiment the use of printed manuals is faster and
provides answers of higher quality than any of the
electronic modes. Therefore, claims about the
effectiveness of computer-based text retrieval have to
by vary in situations where printed manuals are
manageable to the user. Among the modes of TeSS,
browsing is the fastest and the one causing the fewest
operational errors. On the same two variables, time and
operational errors, the Venn diagram mode performs
better than conventional boolean retrieval. The
combined mode scores worst on the objective performance
measures; nonetheless nearly all subject prefer this
mode. Concerning the interaction process, the subjects
tend to manage the complexities of the information
retrieval tasks by issuing series of simple commands
and exploiting the interactive capabilities of TeSS. To
characterize the dynamics of the interaction process
two concepts are introduced; threads and sequences of
tactics. Threads in a query sequence describes the
continuity during retrieval. Sequences of tactics
concern the combined mode and describe how different
retrieval modes succeed each other as the retrieval
process evolves.",

abstract = "This paper presents new analytical models of the
performance benefits of multithreading and prefetching,
and experimental measurements of parallel applications
on the MIT Alewife multiprocessor. For the first time,
both techniques are evaluated on a real machine as
opposed to simulations. The models determine the region
in the parameter space where the techniques are most
effective, while the measurements determine the region
where the applications lie. We find that these regions
do not always overlap significantly. The multithreading
model shows that only 2-4 contexts are necessary to
maximize this technique's potential benefit in current
multiprocessors. Multithreading improves execution time
by less than 10\% for most of the applications that we
examined. The model also shows that multithreading can
significantly improve the performance of the same
applications in multiprocessors with longer latencies.
Reducing context-switch overhead is not crucial. The
software prefetching model shows that allowing 4
outstanding prefetches is sufficient to achieve most of
this technique's potential benefit on current
multiprocessors. Prefetching improves performance over
a wide range of parameters, and improves execution time
by as much as 20-50\% even on current multiprocessors.
The two models show that prefetching has a significant
advantage over multithreading for machines with low
memory latencies and/or applications with high cache
miss rates because a prefetch instruction consumes less
time than a context-switch.",

evaluation study of the HP Exemplar file system. Our
experiments consist of simple micro-benchmarks that
study the impact of various factors on the file system
performance. These factors include I/O request/buffer
sizes, vectored/non-vectored access patterns,
read-ahead policies, multi-threaded (temporally
irregular) requests, and architectural issues (cache
parameters, NUMA behavior, etc.). Experimental results
indicate that the Exemplar file system provides high
I/O bandwidth, both for single- and multi-threaded
applications. The buffer cache, with prioritized buffer
management and large buffer sizes, is effective in
exploiting temporal and spatial access localities. The
performance of non-contiguous accesses can be improved
by either using vectored I/O interfaces or tuning the
read-ahead facilities. The file system performance
depends on the relative locations of the computing
threads and the file system, and also on various
Exemplar design parameters such as the NUMA
architecture, TLB/data cache management and paging
policies.",

problem is to exploit symmetry when performing temporal
logic model checking. In previous work it is shown how,
using some basic notions of group theory, symmetry may
be exploited for the full range of correctness
properties expressible in the very expressive temporal
logic CTL*. Surprisingly, while fairness properties are
readily expressible in CTL*, these methods are not
powerful enough to admit any amelioration of state
explosion, when fairness assumptions are involved. We
show that it is nonetheless possible to handle fairness
efficiently by trading some group theory for automata
theory. Our automata-theoretic approach depends on
detecting fair paths subtly encoded in a quotient
structure whose arcs are annotated with permutations,
by using a threaded structure that reflects coordinate
shifts caused by the permutations.",

abstract = "The Hurricane File System (HFS) is designed for
(potentially large-scale) shared-memory
multiprocessors. Its architecture is based on the
principle that, in order to maximize performance for
applications with diverse requirements, a file system
must support a wide variety of file structures, file
system policies, and I/O interfaces. Files in HFS are
implemented using simple building blocks composed in
potentially complex ways. This approach yields great
flexibility, allowing an application to customize the
structure and policies of a file to exactly meet its
requirements. As an extreme example, HFS allows a
file's structure to be optimized for concurrent
random-access write-only operations by 10 threads,
something no other file system can do. Similarly, the
prefetching, locking, and file cache management
policies can all be chosen to match an application's
access pattern. In contrast, most parallel file systems
support a single file structure and a small set of
policies. We have implemented HFS as part of the
Hurricane operating system running on the Hector
shared-memory multiprocessor. We demonstrate that the
flexibility of HFS comes with little processing or I/O
overhead. We also show that for a number of file access
patterns, HFS is able to deliver to the applications
the full I/O bandwidth of the disks on our system.",

abstract = "To achieve high performance, contemporary computer
systems rely on two forms of parallelism:
instruction-level parallelism (ILP) and thread-level
parallelism (TLP). Wide-issue super-scalar processors
exploit ILP by executing multiple instructions from a
single program in a single cycle. Multiprocessors (MP)
exploit TLP by executing different threads in parallel
on different processors. Unfortunately, both parallel
processing styles statically partition processor
resources, thus preventing them from adapting to
dynamically changing levels of ILP and TLP in a
program. With insufficient TLP, processors in an MP
will be idle; with insufficient ILP, multiple-issue
hardware on a superscalar is wasted. This article
explores parallel processing on an alternative
architecture, simultaneous multithreading (SMT), which
allows multiple threads to complete for and share all
of the processor's resources every cycle. The most
compelling reason for running parallel applications on
an SMT processor is its ability to use thread-level
parallelism and instruction-level parallelism
interchangeably. By permitting multiple threads to
share the processor's functional units simultaneously,
the processor can use both ILP and TLP to accommodate
variations in parallelism. When a program has only a
single thread, all of the SMT processor's resources can
be dedicated to that thread; when more TLP exists, this
parallelism can compensate for a lack of per-thread
ILP. We examine two alternative on-chip parallel
architectures for the next generation of processors. We
compare SMT and small-scale, on-chip multiprocessors in
their ability to exploit both ILP and TLP. First, we
identify the hardware bottlenecks that prevent
multiprocessors from effectively exploiting ILP. Then,
we show that because of its dynamic resource sharing,
SMT avoids these inefficiencies and benefits from being
able to run more threads on a single processor. The use
of TLP is especially advantageous when per-thread ILP
is limited. The ease of adding additional thread
contexts on an SMT (relative to adding additional
processors on an MP) allows simultaneous multithreading
to expose more parallelism, further increasing
functional unit utilization and attaining a 52\%
average speedup (versus a four-processor, single-chip
multiprocessor with comparable execution resources).
This study also addresses an often-cited concern
regarding the use of thread-level parallelism or
multithreading: interference in the memory system and
branch prediction hardware. We find the multiple
threads cause interthread interference in the caches
and place greater demands on the memory system, thus
increasing average memory latencies. By exploiting
threading-level parallelism, however, SMT hides these
additional latencies, so that they only have a small
impact on total program performance. We also find that
for parallel applications, the additional threads have
minimal effects on branch prediction.",

describes a new tool, called Eraser, for dynamically

programs. Eraser uses binary rewriting techniques to
monitor every shared-monory reference and verify that
consistent locking behavior is observed. We present
several case studies, including undergraduate
coursework and a multithreaded Web search engine, that
demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.",

architectural model, called superthreading [15], is
studied in this paper. It tries to integrate optimizing
compilation techniques and run-time hardware support to
exploit both thread-level and instruction-level
parallelism, as opposed to exploit only
instruction-level parallelism in existing superscalars.
The superthreaded architecture uses a thread pipelining
execution model to enhance the overlapping between
threads, and to facilitate data dependence enforcement
between threads through compiler-directed,
hardware-supported, thread-level control speculation
and run-time data dependence checking. We also evaluate
the performance of the superthreaded processor through
a detailed trace-driven simulator. Our results show
that the superthreaded execution model can obtain good
performance by exploiting both thread-level and
instruction-level parallelism in programs. We also
study the design parameters of its main system
components, such as the size of the memory buffer, the
bandwidth requirement of the communication links
between thread processing units, and the bandwidth
requirement of the shared data cache.",

a single chip continues to grow, it is important for
computer architects to think beyond the traditional
approaches of deeper pipelines and wider instruction
issue units for improving performance. This
single-threaded execution model limits these approaches
to exploiting only the relatively small amount of
instruction-level parallelism available in application
programs. While integrating an entire multiprocessor
onto a single chip is feasible, this architecture is
limited to exploiting only relatively coarse-grained
heavy-weight parallelism. We propose the superthreaded
architecture as an excellent alternative for utilizing
the large number of transistors that will become
available on a single high-density chip. As a hybrid of
a wide-issue superscalar processor and a
multiprocessor-on-a-chip, this new concurrent
multithreading architecture can leverage the best of
existing and future parallel hardware and software
technologies. By incorporating speculation for control
dependences and run-time checking of data dependences,
the superthreaded architecture can exploit the multiple
granularities of parallelism available in
general-purpose application programs to reduce the
execution time of a single program.",

abstract = "Communication theories and technology have tended to
focus on extended, formal meetings and have neglected a
prevalent and vital form of workplace communication ---
namely, lightweight communication. Unlike formal,
extended meetings, lightweight interaction is brief,
informal, unplanned, and intermittent. We analyze
naturalistic data from a study of work-place
communication and derive five design criteria for
lightweight interaction systems. These criteria require
that systems for lightweight interaction support {\em
conversational tracking, rapid connection}, the ability
to {\em leave a message}, {\em context management}, and
{\em shared real-time objects}. Using these criteria,
we evaluate existing interpersonal communications
technologies. We then describe an implementation of a
system (TeleNotes) that is designed to support
lightweight interaction by meeting these criteria. The
interface metaphor allows communications to be based
around desktop objects, resembling ``sticky notes.''
These objects are also organized into ``desktop piles''
to support conversational threads and provide
mechanisms for initiating real-time audio, video, and
application sharing. We conducted informal user testing
of several system prototypes. Based on our findings,
outstanding issues concerning theory and systems design
for communication systems are outlined --- in
particular, with regard to the issue of managing
conversations over time.",

abstract = "This paper presents a concurrent object-oriented
programming (COOP) model established around concurrent
objects which may have a body. Once an object with a
body is created, its body begins to run as a separate
execution thread of the object. Distinguished from some
active-object-based concurrent object-oriented models,
the object body in our model is not used for the
concurrency control of objects, but only as a mechanism
to introduce concurrent executions into OO model.
Concurrency control is specified by the attributes of
objects and the control codes are generated by a
compiling system based on these attributes. In
addition, objects should be designed in such a way that
they can be used in both sequential and concurrent
environments, no matter whether they have a body or
not. In our model, several execution threads may
coexist in an object and some synchronization
mechanisms are provided to control the concurrent
executions of these threads. The paper presents two
examples of concurrent programming with our model.",

abstract = "Speculative instructions execution requires dynamic
branch predictors to increase the performance of a
processor by executing from predicted branch target
routines. Conventional Scalar architectures such as the
Superscalar or Multiscalar architecture executes from a
single stream, while a Multithreaded architecture
executes from multiple streams at a time. Several
aggressive branch predictors have been proposed with
high prediction accuracies. Unfortunately, none of the
branch predictors can provide 100\% accuracy.
Therefore, there is an inherent limitation on
speculative execution in real implementation. In this
paper, we show that Multithreaded architecture is a
better candidate for utilizing speculative execution
than Scalar architectures. Generally the branch
prediction performance degradation is compounded for
larger window sizes on Scalar architectures, while for
a Multithreaded architecture, by increasing the number
of executing threads, we could sustain a higher
performance for a large aggregated speculative window
size. Hence, heavier workloads may increase performance
and utilization for Multithreaded architectures. We
present analytical and simulation results to support
our argument.",

exploit concurrency, but it is difficult to debug and

performance tool called Tmon for monitoring, analyzing
and tuning the performance of multithreaded programs.
The performance tool has two novel features: it uses
`thread waiting time' as a measure and constructs
thread waiting graphs to show thread dependencies and
thus performance bottlenecks, and it identifies
`semi-busy-waiting' points where CPU cycles are wasted
in condition checking and context switching. We have
implemented the Tmon tool and, as a case study, we have
used it to measure and tune a heavily threaded file
system. We used four workloads to tune different
aspects of the file system. We were able to improve the
file system bandwidth and throughput significantly. In
one case, we were able to improve the bandwidth by two
orders of magnitude.",

analyzing sequential programs, especially for program

was no slicing method for threaded programs which
handles interference correctly. We present such a
method which also calculates more precise static
slices. This paper extends the well known structures of
the control flow graph and the program dependence graph
for threaded programs with interference. This new
technique does not require serialization of threaded

using six criteria to assess their suitability for
realistic portable parallel programming. We argue that
an ideal model should by easy to program, should have a
software development methodology, should be
architecture-independent, should be easy to understand,
should guarantee performance, and should provide
accurate information about the cost of programs. These
criteria reflect our belief that developments in
parallelism must be driven by a parallel software
industry based on portability and efficiency. We
consider programming models in six categories,
depending on the level of abstraction they provide.
Those that are very abstract conceal even the presence
of parallelism at the software level. Such models make
software easy to build and port, but efficient and
predictable performance is usually hard to achieve. At
the other end of the spectrum, low-level models make
all of the messy issues of parallel programming
explicit (how many threads, how to place them, how to
express communication, and how to schedule
communication), so that software is hard to build and
not very portable, but is usually efficient. Most
recent models are near the center of this spectrum,
exploring the best tradeoffs between expressiveness and
performance. A few models have achieved both
abstractness and efficiency. Both kinds of models raise
the possibility of parallelism as part of the
mainstream of computing.",

abstract = "Speculative evaluation, including leniency and
futures, is often used to produce high degrees of
parallelism. Understanding the performance
characteristics of such evaluation, however, requires
having a detailed understanding of the implementation.
For example, the particular implementation technique
used to suspend and reactivate threads can have an
asymptotic effect on performance. With the goal of
giving the users some understanding of performance
without requiring them to understand the
implementation, we present a provable implementation
bound for a language based on speculative evaluation.
The idea is (1) to supply the users with a semantics
for a language that defines abstract costs for
measuring or analyzing the performance of computations,
(2) to supply the users with a mapping of these costs
onto runtimes on various machine models, and (3) to
describe an implementation strategy of the language and
prove that it meets these mappings. For this purpose we
consider a simple language based on speculative
evaluation. For every computation, the semantics of the
language returns a directed acyclic graph (DAG) in
which each node represents a unit of computation, and
each edge represents a dependence. We then describe an
implementation strategy of the language and show that
any computation with $w$ work (the number of nodes in
the DAG) and $d$ depth (the length of the longest path
in the DAG) will run on a $p$-processor PRAM in $ O(w /
p + d \log p) $ time. The bounds are work efficient
(within a constant factor of linear speedup) when there
is sufficient parallelism, $ w / d p \log p $. These
are the first time bounds we know of for languages with
speculative evaluation. The main challenge is in
parallelizing the necessary queuing operations on
suspended threads.",

abstract = "Many of today's high-level parallel languages support
dynamic, fine-grained parallelism. These languages
allow the user to expose all the parallelism in the
program, which is typically of a much higher degree
than the number of processors. Hence an efficient
scheduling algorithm is required to assign computations
to processors at runtime. Besides having low overheads
and good load balancing, it is important for the
scheduling algorithm to minimize the space usage of the
parallel program. This article presents an on-line
scheduling algorithm that is provably space efficient
and time efficient for nested-parallel languages. For a
computation with depth $D$ and serial space requirement
$ S_1 $, the algorithm generates a schedule that
requires at most $ S_1 + O(K \cdot D \cdot p) $ space
(including scheduler space) on $p$ processors. Here,
$K$ is a user-adjustable runtime parameter specifying
the net amount of memory that a thread may allocate
before it is preempted by the scheduler. Adjusting the
value of $K$ provides a trade-off between the running
time and the memory requirement of a parallel
computation. To allow the scheduler to scale with the
number of processors we also parallelize the scheduler
and analyze the space and time bounds of the
computation to include scheduling costs. In addition to
showing that the scheduling algorithm is space and time
efficient in theory, we demonstrate that it is
effective in practice. We have implemented a runtime
system that uses our algorithm to schedule lightweight
parallel threads. The results of executing parallel
programs on this system show that our scheduling
algorithm significantly reduces memory usage compared
to previous techniques, without compromising
performance.",

The solution consists of a combination of record\slash
replay with automatic on-the-fly data race detection.
This combination enables us to limit the record phase
to the more efficient recording of the synchronization
operations, while deferring the time-consuming data
race detection to the replay phase. As the record phase
is highly efficient, there is no need to switch it off,
hereby eliminating the possibility of Heisenbugs
because tracing can be left on all the time. This
article describes an implementation of the tools needed
to support RecPlay.",

abstract = "The information explosion across the Internet and
elsewhere offers access to an increasing number of
document collections. In order for users to effectively
access these collections, information retrieval (IR)
systems must provide coordinated, concurrent, and
distributed access. In this article, we explore how to
achieve scalable performance in a distributed system
for collection sizes ranging from 1GB to 128GB. We
implement a fully functional distributed IR system
based on a multithreaded version of the Inquery
simulation model. We measure performance as a function
of system parameters such as client command rate,
number of document collections, ter ms per query, query
term frequency, number of answers returned, and command
mixture. Our results show that it is important to model
both query and document commands because the
heterogeneity of commands significantly impacts
performance. Based on our results, we recommend simple
changes to the prototype and evaluate the changes using
the simulator. Because of the significant resource
demands of information retrieval, it is not difficult
to generate workloads that overwhelm system resources
regardless of the architecture. However under some
realistic workloads, we demonstrate system
organizations for which response time gracefully
degrades as the workload increases and performance
scales with the number of processors. This scalable
architecture includes a surprisingly small number of
brokers through which a large number of clients and
servers communicate.",

multi-threaded codes is difficult, because threads may
interact with each other in unpredictable ways. The
goal of this work is to discover common multi-threaded
programming pitfalls, the knowledge of which will be
useful in instructing new programmers and in developing
tools to aid in multi-threaded programming. To this
end, we study multi-threaded applications written by
students from introductory operating systems courses.
Although the applications are simple, careful
inspection and the use of an automatic race detection
tool reveal a surprising quantity and variety of
synchronization errors. We describe and discuss these
errors, evaluate the role of automated tools, and
propose new tools for use in the instruction of
multi-threaded programming.",

provides a powerful means to detect concurrency errors,
which are often subtle and difficult to reproduce.
Nevertheless, widespread use of this technology by
developers is unlikely until tools provide automated
support for extracting the required finite-state models
directly from program source. Unfortunately, the
dynamic features of modern languages such as Java
complicate the construction of compact finite-state
models for verification. In this article, we show how
shape analysis, which has traditionally been used for
computing alias information in optimizers, can be used
to greatly reduce the size of finite-state models of
concurrent Java programs by determining which
heap-allocated variables are accessible only by a
single thread, and which shared variables are protected
by locks. We also provide several other state-space
reductions based on the semantics of Java monitors. A
prototype of the reductions demonstrates their
effectiveness.",

1996] provides an operational definition for the
consistency of shared variables. The definition remains
unchanged in the JLS 2nd edition, currently under peer
review, which relies on a specific abstract machine as
its underlying model, is very complicated. Several
subsequent works have tried to simplify and formalize
it. However, these revised definitions are also
operational, and thus have failed to highlight the
intuition behind the original specification. In this
work we provide a complete nonoperational specification
for Java and for the JVM, excluding synchronized
operations. We provide a simpler definition, in which
we clearly distinguish the consistency model that is
promised to the programmer from that which should be
implemented in the JVM. This distinction, which was
implicit in the original definition, is crucial for
building the JVM. We find that the programmer model is
strictly weaker than that of the JVM, and precisely
define their discrepancy. Moreover, our definition is
independent of any specific (or even abstract) machine,
and can thus be used to verify JVM implementations and
compiler optimizations on any platform. Finally, we
show the precise range of consistency relaxations
obtainable for the Java memory model when a certain
compiler optimization-- called {\em prescient stores\/}
in JLS--is applicable.",

Merlot is a high performance embedded processor for
intelligent appliances. We extract a higher degree of
parallelism with low voltage operation. In our
presentation, we describe our multi-threading model.
Then, we explain Merlot's pipeline architecture,
focusing on fast thread creation and memory renaming.
We also describe our on-chip SDRAM interface which has
a throughput greater than 1 GB/sec and cache miss
penalty less than 100 ns. Finally, we show a
performance estimation for speech recognition and MPEG2
code, power dissipation, and average memory latency.
Restructured speech recognition code was compiled with
directives, and IPC of 2.72 is estimated.",

abstract = "In many decision-making scenarios, decision makers
require rapid feedback to their queries, which
typically involve aggregates. The traditional {\em
blocking execution model\/} can no longer meet the
demands of these users. One promising approach in the
literature, called {\em online aggregation}, evaluates
an aggregation query progressively as follows: as soon
as certain data have been evaluated, approximate
answers are produced with their respective running
confidence intervals; as more data are examined, the
answers and their corresponding running confidence
intervals are refined. In this paper, we extend this
approach to handle nested queries with aggregates
(i.e., at least one inner query block is an aggregate
query) by providing users with (approximate) answers
progressively as the inner aggregation query blocks are
evaluated. We address the new issues pose by nested
queries. In particular, the answer space begins with a
superset of the final answers and is refined as the
aggregates from the inner query blocks are refined. For
the intermediary answers to be meaningful, they have to
be interpreted with the aggregates from the inner
queries. We also propose a {\em multi-threaded model\/}
in evaluating such queries: each query block is
assigned to a thread, and the threads can be evaluated
concurrently and independently. The time slice across
the threads is {\em nondeterministic\/} in the sense
that the user controls the relative rate at which these
subqueries are being evaluated. For {\em enumerative\/}
nested queries, we propose a priority-based evaluation
strategy to present answers that are certainly in the
final answer space first, before presenting those whose
validity may be affected as the inner query aggregates
are refined. We implemented a prototype system using
Java and evaluated our system. Results for nested
queries with a level and multiple levels of nesting are
reported. Our results show the effectiveness of the
proposed mechanisms in providing progressive feedback
that reduces the initial waiting time of users
significantly without sacrificing the quality of the
answers.",

abstract = "Parallel programs written in MPI have been widely used
for developing high-performance applications on various
platforms. Because of a restriction of the MPI
computation model, conventional MPI implementations on
shared-memory machines map each MPI node to an OS
process, which can suffer serious performance
degradation in the presence of multiprogramming. This
paper studies compile-time and runtime techniques for
enhancing performance portability of MPI code running
on multiprogrammed shared-memory machines. The proposed
techniques allow MPI nodes to be executed safety and
efficiently as threads. Compile-time transformation
eliminates global and static variables in C code using
node-specific data. The runtime support includes an
efficient and provably correct communication protocol
that uses lock-free data structure and takes advantage
of address space sharing among threads. The experiments
on SGI Origin 2000 show that our MPI prototype called
TMPI using the proposed techniques is competitive with
SGI's native MPI implementation in a dedicated
environment, and that it has significant performance
advantages in a multiprogrammed environment.",

empirically studied with respect to the Explicit
Multi-Threaded (XMT) platform for instruction-level
parallelism (ILP). The main goal of this study is to
understand the differences between XMT and more
traditional parallel computing implementation
platforms/models as they pertain to the well studied
list ranking problem. The main two findings are: (i)
good speedups for much smaller inputs are possible and
(ii) in part, the first finding is based on a new
variant of a 1984 algorithm, called the No-Cut
algorithm. The paper incorporates analytic
(non-asymptotic) performance analysis into experimental
performance analysis for relatively small inputs. This
provides an interesting example where experimental
research and theoretical analysis complement one
another. Explicit Multi-Threading (XMT) is a
fine-grained computation framework introduced in our
SPAA'98 paper. Building on some key ideas of parallel
computing, XMT covers the spectrum from algorithms
through architecture to implementation; the main
implementation related innovation in XMT was through
the incorporation of low-overhead hardware and software
mechanisms (for more effective fine-grained
parallelism). The reader is referred to that paper for
detail on these mechanisms. The XMT platform aims at
faster single-task completion time by way of ILP.",

multiprocessor architectures has created a pressing
demand for an efficient way to program these systems.
At the same time, developers of technical and
scientific applications in industry and in government
laboratories find they need to parallelize huge volumes
of code in a portable fashion. OpenMP, developed
jointly by several parallel computing vendors to
address these issues, is an industry-wide standard for
programming shared-memory and distributed shared-memory
multiprocessors. It consists of a set of compiler
directives and library routines that extend FORTRAN, C,
and C++ codes to express shared-memory parallelism.
Parallel Programming in OpenMP is the first book to
teach both the novice and expert parallel programmers
how to program using this new standard. The authors,
who helped design and implement OpenMP while at SGI,
bring a depth and breadth to the book as compiler
writers, application developers, and performance
engineers.",

known to be a difficult task: The calculations and data
structures can be involved, there are degenerate cases
and numerical issues, etc. THis paper presents a
software setup aiming at easing the development, the
debugging, ad the maintenance of geometric
applications. \par
More precisely, {\em incremental visualization\/} is
defined as the possibility for the programmer to
visualize interactively any significant update of the
geometric data structures at any time. {\em
Non-intrusive debugging\/} is defined as the
possibility of visualizing any geometric entity in
three dimensions from a standard debugger at any time
without modifying the source code. We present a setup
to perform incremental visualization and non-intrusive
debugging. This setup is based on multithreading and
requires a three-dimensional viewer, such as Open
Inventor, Vtk, or Geomview, and a standard debugger
(dbx or gdb). \par
An Open Inventor based C++ implementation of this setup
accompanies this paper. Using it simply requires
writing the functions converting the user's data
structures into Open Inventor's data structures. The
setup could easily be extended to accommodate other
medias such as sound, video, etc.",

stepping over methods and running to breakpoints, in
both directions. Multi-threading is supported. It is
also possible to step through the bytecode when the

needs an auxiliary array of the same size and a copy

using vacancy tracking cycles. The vacancy tracking
algorithm outperforms the traditional 2-array method as
demonstrated by extensive comparisons. The independence
of vacancy tracking cycles allows efficient
parallelization of the in-place method on SMP
architectures at node level. Performance of
multi-threaded parallelism using OpenMP are tested with
different scheduling methods and different number of
threads. The vacancy tracking method is parallelized
using several parallel paradigms. At node level, pure
OpenMP outperforms pure MPI by a factor of 2.76. Across
entire cluster of SMP nodes, the hybrid MPI/OpenMP
implementation outperforms pure MPI by a factor of
4.44, demonstrating the validity of the parallel
paradigm of mixing MPI with OpenMP.",

are written in Fortran. Also, many of these
applications exhibit functional, or task-level,
concurrency. They would benefit from multithreading,
especially on symmetric multiprocessors (SMP). We
present here an interface to that part of the Pthreads
library that is compatible with standard Fortran. The
contribution consists of two primary source files: a
Fortran module and a collection of C wrappers to
Pthreads functions. The Fortran module defines the data
structures, interface and initialization routines used
to manage threads. The stability and portability of the
Fortran API to Pthreads is demonstrated using common
mathematical computations on three different systems.",

implemented in the general-purpose spectral/hp element
CFD code NekTar to take advantage of the hierarchical
structures arising in deterministic and stochastic CFD
problems. We take a coarse grain approach to
shared-memory parallelism with OpenMP and employ a
workload-splitting scheme that can reduce the OpenMP
synchronizations to the minimum. The hybrid
implementation shows good scalability with respect to
both the problem size and the number of processors in
case of a fixed problem size. With the same number of
processors, the hybrid model with 2 (or 4) OpenMP
threads per MPI process is observed to perform better
than pure MPI and pure OpenMP on the NCSA SGI Origin
2000, while the pure MPI model performs the best on the
IBM SP3 at SDSC and on the Compaq Alpha cluster at PSC.
A key new result is that the use of threads facilitates
effectively prefinement, which is crucial to adaptive
discretization using high-order methods.",

abstract = "Computer system designers often evaluate future design
alternatives with detailed simulators that strive for
{\em functional fidelity\/} (to execute relevant
workloads) and {\em performance fidelity\/} (to rank
design alternatives). Trends toward multi-threaded
architectures, more complex micro-architectures, and
richer workloads, make authoring detailed simulators
increasingly difficult. To manage simulator complexity,
this paper advocates decoupled simulator organizations
that separate functional and performance concerns.
Furthermore, we define an approach, called {\em
timing-first simulation}, that uses an augmented timing
simulator to execute instructions important to
performance in conjunction with a functional simulator
to insure correctness. This design simplifies software
development, leverages existing simulators, and can
model micro-architecture timing in detail. We describe
the timing-first organization and our experiences
implementing TFsim, a full-system multiprocessor
performance simulator. TFsim models a pipelined,
out-of-order micro-architecture in detail, was
developed in less than one person-year, and performs
competitively with previously-published simulators.
TFsim's timing simulator implements dynamically common
instructions (99.99\% of them), while avoiding the vast
and exacting implementation efforts necessary to run
unmodified commercial operating systems and workloads.
Virtutech Simics, a full-system functional simulator,
checks and corrects the timing simulator's execution,
contributing 18-36\% to the overall run-time. TFsim's
mostly correct functional implementation introduces a
worst-case performance error of 4.8\% for our
commercial workloads. Some additional simulator
performance is gained by verifying functional
correctness less often, at the cost of some additional
performance error.",

abstract = "Simultaneous Multithreading machines benefit from
jobscheduling software that monitors how well
coscheduled jobs share CPU resources, and coschedules
jobs that interact well to make more efficient use of
those resources. As a result, informed coscheduling can
yield significant performance gains over naive
schedulers. However, prior work on coscheduling focused
on equal-priority job mixes, which is an unrealistic
assumption for modern operating systems. This paper
demonstrates that a scheduler for an SMT machine can
both satisfy process priorities and symbiotically
schedule low and high priority threads to increase
system throughput. Naive priority schedulers dedicate
the machine to high priority jobs to meet priority
goals, and as a result decrease opportunities for
increased performance from multithreading and
coscheduling. More informed schedulers, however, can
dynamically monitor the progress and resource
utilization of jobs on the machine, and dynamically
adjust the degree of multithreading to improve
performance while still meeting priority goals. Using
detailed simulation of an SMT architecture, we
introduce and evaluate a series of five software and
hardware-assisted priority schedulers. Overall, our
results indicate that coscheduling priority jobs can
significantly increase system throughput by as much as
40\%, and that (1) the benefit depends upon the
relative priority of the coscheduled jobs, and (2) more
sophisticated schedulers are more effective when the
differences in priorities are greatest. We show that
our priority schedulers can decrease average turnaround
times for a random job mix by as much as 33\%.",

Gilgamesh, a PIM-based massively parallel architecture,
and elements of its execution model. Gilgamesh extends
existing PIM capabilities by incorporating advanced
mechanisms for virtualizing tasks and data and
providing adaptive resource management for load
balancing and latency tolerance. The Gilgamesh
execution model is based on macroservers, a middleware
layer which supports object-based runtime management of
data and threads allowing explicit and dynamic control
of locality and load balancing. The paper concludes

abstract = "This paper describes a framework for modeling
macroscopic program behavior and applies it to
optimizing prescient instruction prefetch --- novel
technique that uses helper threads to improve
single-threaded application performance by performing
judicious and timely instruction prefetch. A helper
thread is initiated when the main thread encounters a
spawn point, and prefetches instructions starting at a
distant target point. The target identifies a code
region tending to incur I-cache misses that the main
thread is likely to execute soon, even though
intervening control flow may be unpredictable. The
optimization of spawn-target pair selections is
formulated by modeling program behavior as a Markov
chain based on profile statistics. Execution paths are
considered stochastic outcomes, and aspects of program
behavior are summarized via path expression mappings.
Mappings for computing reaching, and posteriori
probability; path length mean, and variance; and
expected path footprint are presented. These are used
with Tarjan's fast path algorithm to efficiently
estimate the benefit of spawn-target pair selections.
Using this framework we propose a spawn-target pair
selection algorithm for prescient instruction prefetch.
This algorithm has been implemented, and evaluated for
the Itanium Processor Family architecture. A limit
study finds 4.8\%to 17\% speedups on an in-order
simultaneous multithreading processor with eight
contexts, over nextline and streaming I-prefetch for a
set of benchmarks with high I-cache miss rates. The
framework in this paper is potentially applicable to
other thread speculation techniques.",

clusters of symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) is
increasing. In this paper, we present a new programming
environment, called ParADE, to enable easy, portable,
and high-performance programming on SMP clusters. It is
an OpenMP programming environment on top of a
multi-threaded software distributed shared memory
(SDSM) system with a variant of home-based lazy release
consistency protocol. To boost performance, the runtime
system provides explicit message-passing primitives to
make it a hybrid-programming environment. Collective
communication primitives are used for the
synchronization and work-sharing directives associated
with small data structures, lessening the
synchronization overhead and avoiding the implicit
barriers of work-sharing directives. The OpenMP
translator bridges the gap between the OpenMP
abstraction and the hybrid programming interfaces of
the runtime system. The experiments with several NAS
benchmarks and applications on a Linux-based cluster
show promising results that ParADE overcomes the
performance problem of the conventional SDSM-based
OpenMP environment.",

multiple processors: general purpose CPU(s), graphic
processor (GPU), network processors (NP) on Network
Interface Cards (NICs), RAID controllers, and signal
processors on sound cards and modems. Some of these
processors traditionally have been special purpose
processors but there is a trend towards replacing some
of these with embedded general purpose processors. At
the same time main CPUs become more powerful; desktop
CPUs start featuring Simultaneous Multi-Threading
(SMT); and Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) systems are
widely used in server systems. However, the structure
of operating systems has not really changed to reflect
these trends --- different types of processors evolve
at different time scales (largely driven by market
forces) requiring significant changes to operating
systems kernels to reflect the appropriate tradeoffs.In
this position paper we propose to re-vitalise the old
idea of channel processors by encapsulating operating
system I/O subsystems in Virtual Channel Processors
(VCPs). VCPs perform I/O operations on behalf of an OS.
They provide similar development, performance, and
fault isolation as dedicated (embedded) I/O processors
do while offering the flexibility to split
functionality between the main processor(s) and
dedicated processors without affecting the rest of the
OS. If part of a VCP is executed on the main processor,
we propose to make use of virtual machine technology
and SMT/SMP features to isolate its performance from
that of the rest of the system and to protect the
system from faults within the VCP.",

abstract = "Hardware multithreading is becoming a generally
applied technique in the next generation of
microprocessors. Several multithreaded processors are
announced by industry or already into production in the
areas of high-performance microprocessors, media, and
network processors. A multithreaded processor is able
to pursue two or more threads of control in parallel
within the processor pipeline. The contexts of two or
more threads of control are often stored in separate
on-chip register sets. Unused instruction slots, which
arise from latencies during the pipelined execution of
single-threaded programs by a contemporary
microprocessor, are filled by instructions of other
threads within a multithreaded processor. The execution
units are multiplexed between the thread contexts that
are loaded in the register sets. Underutilization of a
superscalar processor due to missing instruction-level
parallelism can be overcome by simultaneous
multithreading, where a processor can issue multiple
instructions from multiple threads each cycle.
Simultaneous multithreaded processors combine the
multithreading technique with a wide-issue superscalar
processor to utilize a larger part of the issue
bandwidth by issuing instructions from different
threads simultaneously. Explicit multithreaded
processors are multithreaded processors that apply
processes or operating system threads in their hardware
thread slots. These processors optimize the throughput
of multiprogramming workloads rather than single-thread
performance. We distinguish these processors from
implicit multithreaded processors that utilize
thread-level speculation by speculatively executing
compiler- or machine-generated threads of control that
are part of a single sequential program. This survey
paper explains and classifies the explicit
multithreading techniques in research and in commercial
microprocessors.",

abstract = "The notion that certain procedures are atomic is a
fundamental correctness property of many multithreaded
software systems. A procedure is atomic if for every
execution there is an equivalent serial execution in
which the actions performed by any thread while
executing the atomic procedure are not interleaved with
actions of other threads. Several existing tools verify
atomicity by using commutativity of actions to show
that every execution reduces to a corresponding serial
execution. However, experiments with these tools have
highlighted a number of interesting procedures that,
while intuitively atomic, are not reducible. In this
paper, we exploit the notion of pure code blocks to
verify the atomicity of such irreducible procedures. If
a pure block terminates normally, then its evaluation
does not change the program state, and hence these
evaluation steps can be removed from the program trace
before reduction. We develop a static analysis for
atomicity based on this insight, and we illustrate this
analysis on a number of interesting examples that could
not be verified using earlier tools based purely on
reduction. The techniques developed in this paper may
also be applicable in other approaches for verifying
atomicity, such as model checking and dynamic
analysis.",

programming languages in the past decade. In
particular, there has been a great deal of activity and
advancement in the field of dataflow visual programming
languages. The motivation for this article is to review
the content of these recent developments and how they
came about. It is supported by an initial review of
dataflow programming in the 1970s and 1980s that led to
current topics of research. It then discusses how
dataflow programming evolved toward a hybrid von
Neumann dataflow formulation, and adopted a more
coarse-grained approach. Recent trends toward dataflow
visual programming languages are then discussed with
reference to key graphical dataflow languages and their
development environments. Finally, the article details
four key open topics in dataflow programming
languages.",

abstract = "Dynamic memory allocators (malloc/free) rely on mutual
exclusion locks for protecting the consistency of their
shared data structures under multithreading. The use of
locking has many disadvantages with respect to
performance, availability, robustness, and programming
flexibility. A lock-free memory allocator guarantees
progress regardless of whether some threads are delayed
or even killed and regardless of scheduling policies.
This paper presents a completely lock-free memory
allocator. It uses only widely-available operating
system support and hardware atomic instructions. It
offers guaranteed availability even under arbitrary
thread termination and crash-failure, and it is immune
to deadlock regardless of scheduling policies, and
hence it can be used even in interrupt handlers and
real-time applications without requiring special
scheduler support. Also, by leveraging some high-level
structures from Hoard, our allocator is highly
scalable, limits space blowup to a constant factor, and
is capable of avoiding false sharing. In addition, our
allocator allows finer concurrency and much lower
latency than Hoard. We use PowerPC shared memory
multiprocessor systems to compare the performance of
our allocator with the default AIX 5.1 libc malloc, and
two widely-used multithread allocators, Hoard and
Ptmalloc. Our allocator outperforms the other
allocators in virtually all cases and often by
substantial margins, under various levels of
parallelism and allocation patterns. Furthermore, our
allocator also offers the lowest contention-free
latency among the allocators by significant margins.",

design method in which concurrent hardware threads
share processor resources like functional units and
memory. The scheduling complexity and performance of an
SMT processor depend on the topology used in the fetch
and issue stages. In this paper, we propose a thread
sensitive issue policy for a partitioned SMT processor
which is based on a thread metric. We propose the
number of ready-to-issue instructions of each thread as
priority metric. To evaluate our method, we have
developed a reconfigurable SMT-simulator on top of the
SimpleScalar Toolset. We simulated our modeled
processor under several workloads composed of SPEC
benchmarks. Experimental results show around 30\%
improvement compared to the conventional OLDEST\_FIRST
mixed topology issue policy. Additionally, the hardware
implementation of our architecture with this metric in
issue stage is quite simple.",

abstract = "Multithreaded applications with multigigabyte heaps
running on modern servers provide new challenges for
garbage collection (GC). The challenges for
``server-oriented'' GC include: ensuring short pause
times on a multigigabyte heap while minimizing
throughput penalty, good scaling on multiprocessor
hardware, and keeping the number of expensive
multicycle fence instructions required by weak ordering
to a minimum. We designed and implemented a collector
facing these demands building on the mostly concurrent
garbage collector proposed by Boehm et al. [1991]. Our
collector incorporates new ideas into the original
collector. We make it parallel and incremental; we
employ concurrent low-priority background GC threads to
take advantage of processor idle time; we propose novel
algorithmic improvements to the basic mostly concurrent
algorithm improving its efficiency and shortening its
pause times; and finally, we use advanced techniques,
such as a low-overhead work packet mechanism to enable
full parallelism among the incremental and concurrent
collecting threads and ensure load balancing. We
compared the new collector to the mature,
well-optimized, parallel, stop-the-world mark-sweep
collector already in the IBM JVM. When allowed to run
aggressively, using 72\% of the CPU utilization during
a short concurrent phase, our collector prototype
reduces the maximum pause time from 161 ms to 46 ms
while only losing 11.5\% throughput when running the
SPECjbb2000 benchmark on a 600-MB heap on an 8-way
PowerPC 1.1-GHz processors. When the collector is
limited to a nonintrusive operation using only 29\% of
the CPU utilization, the maximum pause time obtained is
79 ms and the loss in throughput is 15.4\%.",

in a language that was originally designed without
thread support (e.g. C), to which a library of
threading primitives was subsequently added. There
appears to be a general understanding that this is not
the right approach. We provide specific arguments that
a pure library approach, in which the compiler is
designed independently of threading issues, cannot
guarantee correctness of the resulting code. We first
review why the approach almost works, and then examine
some of the surprising behavior it may entail. We
further illustrate that there are very simple cases in
which a pure library-based approach seems incapable of
expressing an efficient parallel algorithm. Our
discussion takes place in the context of C with
Pthreads, since it is commonly used, reasonably well
specified, and does not attempt to ensure type-safety,
which would entail even stronger constraints. The
issues we raise are not specific to that context.",

diagnostics environment (ADE) used throughout all
aspects of the Blue Gene/L project, including design,
logic verification, bringup, diagnostics, and
manufacturing test. The Blue Gene/L ADE consists of a
lightweight multithreaded coherence-managed kernel,
runtime libraries, device drivers, system programming
interfaces, compilers, and host-based development
tools. It provides complete and flexible access to all
features of the Blue Gene/L hardware. Prior to the
existence of hardware, ADE was used on Very high-speed
integrated circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL)
models, not only for logic verification, but also for
performance measurements, code-path analysis, and
evaluation of architectural tradeoffs. During early
hardware bring-up, the ability to run in a
cycle-reproducible manner on both hardware and VHDL
proved invaluable in fault isolation and analysis.
However, ADE is also capable of supporting
high-performance applications and parallel test cases,
thereby permitting us to stress the hardware to the
limits of its capabilities. This paper also provides
insights into system-level and device-level programming
of Blue Gene/L to assist developers of high-performance
applications to more fully exploit the performance of
the machine.",

philosophy, and implementation techniques in the
software SuperLU, for solving sparse unsymmetric linear
systems. In particular, we highlight the differences
between the sequential SuperLU (including its
multithreaded extension) and parallel SuperLU_DIST.
These include the numerical pivoting strategy, the
ordering strategy for preserving sparsity, the ordering
in which the updating tasks are performed, the
numerical kernel, and the parallelization strategy.
Because of the scalability concern, the parallel code
is drastically different from the sequential one. We
describe the user interfaces of the libraries, and
illustrate how to use the libraries most efficiently
depending on some matrix characteristics. Finally, we
give some examples of how the solver has been used in
large-scale scientific applications, and the
performance.",

multithreading (SMT) for network servers using actual
hardware, multiple network server applications, and
several workloads. Using three versions of the Intel
Xeon processor with Hyper-Threading, we perform
macroscopic analysis as well as microarchitectural
measurements to understand the origins of the
performance bottlenecks for SMT processors in these
environments. The results of our evaluation suggest
that the current SMT support in the Xeon is application
and workload sensitive, and may not yield significant
benefits for network servers. In general, we find that
enabling SMT on real hardware usually produces only
slight performance gains, and can sometimes lead to
performance loss. In the uniprocessor case, previous
studies appear to have neglected the OS overhead in
switching from a uniprocessor kernel to an SMT-enabled
kernel. The performance loss associated with such
support is comparable to the gains provided by SMT. In
the 2-way multiprocessor case, the higher number of
memory references from SMT often causes the memory
system to become the bottleneck, offsetting any
processor utilization gains. This effect is compounded
by the growing gap between processor speeds and memory
latency. In trying to understand the large gains shown
by simulation studies, we find that while the general
trends for microarchitectural behavior agree with real
hardware, differences in sizing assumptions and
performance models yield much more optimistic benefits
for SMT than we observe.",

number of race conditions in the standard Java
libraries and other test programs. The checker required
fewer than 20 additional type annotations per 1,000
lines of code. This article also describes two
improvements that facilitate checking much larger
programs: an algorithm for annotation inference and a
user interface that clarifies warnings generated by the
checker. These extensions have enabled us to use the
checker for identifying race conditions in large-scale

abstract = "Very recently, a new software side-channel attack,
called Branch Prediction Analysis (BPA) attack, has
been discovered and also demonstrated to be practically
feasible on popular commodity PC platforms. While the
above recent attack still had the flavor of a classical
timing attack against RSA, where one uses many
execution-time measurements under the same key in order
to statistically amplify some small but key-dependent
timing differences, we dramatically improve upon the
former result. We prove that a carefully written
spy-process running simultaneously with an RSA-process,
is able to collect during one \emph{single} RSA signing
execution almost all of the secret key bits. We call
such an attack, analyzing the CPU's Branch Predictor
states through spying on a single quasi-parallel
computation process, a \emph{Simple Branch Prediction
Analysis (SBPA)} attack --- sharply differentiating it
from those one relying on statistical methods and
requiring many computation measurements under the same
key. The successful extraction of almost all secret key
bits by our SBPA attack against an openSSL RSA
implementation proves that the often recommended
blinding or so called randomization techniques to
protect RSA against side-channel attacks are, in the
context of SBPA attacks, totally useless. Additional to
that very crucial security implication, targeted at
such implementations which are assumed to be at least
statistically secure, our successful SBPA attack also
bears another equally critical security implication.
Namely, in the context of simple side-channel attacks,
it is widely believed that equally balancing the
operations after branches is a secure countermeasure
against such simple attacks. Unfortunately, this is not
true, as even such ``balanced branch'' implementations
can be completely broken by our SBPA attacks. Moreover,
despite sophisticated hardware-assisted partitioning
methods such as memory protection, sandboxing or even
virtualization, SBPA attacks empower an unprivileged
process to successfully attack other processes running
in parallel on the same processor. Thus, we conclude
that SBPA attacks are much more dangerous than
previously anticipated, as they obviously do not belong
to the same category as pure timing attacks.",

synchronize concurrent access to shared data.
Lock-based synchronization, however, has well-known
pitfalls: using locks for fine-grain synchronization

difficult and prone to deadlock. Transactional memory
provides an alternate concurrency control mechanism
that avoids these pitfalls and significantly eases
concurrent programming. Transactional memory language
constructs have recently been proposed as extensions to
existing languages or included in new concurrent
language specifications, opening the door for new
compiler optimizations that target the overheads of
transactional memory. This paper presents compiler and
runtime optimizations for transactional memory language
constructs. We present a high-performance software
transactional memory system (STM) integrated into a
managed runtime environment. Our system efficiently
implements nested transactions that support both
composition of transactions and partial roll back. Our
JIT compiler is the first to optimize the overheads of
STM, and we show novel techniques for enabling JIT
optimizations on STM operations. We measure the
performance of our optimizations on a 16-way SMP
running multi-threaded transactional workloads. Our
results show that these techniques enable transactional

higher rate than memory speeds, memory latencies may
soon approach a thousand processor cycles. As a result,
the flat memory model that was made practical by deeply
pipelined superscalar processors with multilevel caches
will no longer be tenable. The most common approach to
this problem is multithreading; however, multithreading
requires either abundant independent applications or
well-parallelized monolithic applications, and neither
is easy to come by. We present high-level programming
constructs called braids and fibers. The programming
constructs facilitate the creation of programs that are
partially ordered, in which the partial orders can be
used to support adaptive responses to memory access
latencies. Braiding is simpler than parallelizing,
while yielding many of the same benefits. We show how
the programming constructs can be effectively supported
with simple instruction set architecture extensions and
microarchitectural enhancements. We have developed
braided versions of a number of important algorithms.
The braided code is easy to understand at the source
level and can be translated into highly efficient
instructions using our architecture extensions.",

assume-guarantee proof rule to potentially provide
system coverage. These local requirements also form the
foundation of a technique for efficient predictive

alternative system runs without constructing those

simplifying multithreaded programming by allowing

This work shows that the same atomic guarantees that
give transactions their power also have unexpected and
potentially serious negative effects on programs that
were written assuming narrower scopes of atomicity. We
make four contributions: (1) we show that a direct
translation of lock-based critical sections into
transactions can introduce deadlock into otherwise
correct programs, (2) we introduce the terms strong
atomicity and weak atomicity to describe the
interaction of transactional and non-transactional
code, (3) we show that code that is correct under weak
atomicity can deadlock under strong atomicity, and (4)
we demonstrate that sequentially composing
transactional code can also introduce deadlocks. These
observations invalidate the intuition that transactions
are strictly safer than lock-based critical sections,
that strong atomicity is strictly safer than weak
atomicity, and that transactions are always
composable",

abstract = "Disintermediated active communication (DAC) is a new
paradigm of communication in which a sending thread
actively engages a receiving thread when sending it a
message via shared memory. DAC is different than
existing approaches that use passive communication
through shared-memory --- based on intermittently
checking for messages --- or that use preemptive
communication but must rely on intermediaries such as
the operating system or dedicated interrupt channels.
An implementation of DAC builds on existing cache
coherency support and exploits light-weight user-level
interrupts. Inter-thread communication occurs via
monitored memory locations where the receiver thread
responds to invalidations of monitored addresses with a
light-weight user-level software-defined handler.
Address monitoring is supported by cache line
user-bits, or CLUbits. CLUbits reside in the cache next
to the coherence state, are private per thread, and
maintain user-defined per-cache-line state. A light
weight software library can demultiplex asynchronous
notifications and handle exceptional cases. In
DAC-based programs threads coordinate with one another
by explicit signaling and implicit resource monitoring.
With the simple and direct communication primitives of
DAC, multi-threaded workloads synchronize at a finer
granularity and more efficiently utilize the hardware
of upcoming multi-core designs. This paper introduces
DAC, presents several signaling models for DAC-based
programs, and describes a simple memory-based framework
that supports DAC by leveraging existing
cache-coherency models. Our framework is general enough
to support uses beyond DAC",

abstract = "In canonical parallel processing, the operating system
(OS) assigns a processing core to a single thread from
a multithreaded server application. Since different
threads from the same application often carry out
similar computation, albeit at different times, we
observe extensive code reuse among different
processors, causing redundancy (e.g., in our server
workloads, 45-65\% of all instruction blocks are
accessed by all processors). Moreover, largely
independent fragments of computation compete for the
same private resources causing destructive
interference. Together, this redundancy and
interference lead to poor utilization of private
microarchitecture resources such as caches and branch
predictors. We present Computation Spreading (CSP),
which employs hardware migration to distribute a
thread's dissimilar fragments of computation across the
multiple processing cores of a chip multiprocessor
(CMP), while grouping similar computation fragments
from different threads together. This paper focuses on
a specific example of CSP for OS intensive server
applications: separating application level (user)
computation from the OS calls it makes. When performing
CSP, each core becomes temporally specialized to
execute certain computation fragments, and the same
core is repeatedly used for such fragments. We examine
two specific thread assignment policies for CSP, and
show that these policies, across four server workloads,
are able to reduce instruction misses in private L2
caches by 27-58\%, private L2 load misses by 0-19\%,
and branch mispredictions by 9-25\%.",

not sufficient since the choice of run-time semantics

of this paper to exemplify the importance of process
queuing and awaking policies resulting from possible
choices of the monitor concept implementation.The first
part of the paper compares the behaviour of concurrent
processes sharing a unique waiting queue for condition
synchronization when implemented in Java or in Ada. A
particular solution of the dining philosophers paradigm
will be used to show how the difference in the monitor
semantics may lead or not to deadlock. This comparison
provides insight for deriving a correct Java
implementation. The second part of the paper shows how
the implementation can be refined when using Ada entry
families and requeue with requeue once restriction. The
result is elegant, safe and fair, and deterministic.
This paper ends with quantitative comparisons of
concurrency complexity and of concurrency
effectiveness.We conclude that Java and C\#
multithreading need defensive concurrent programming
while Ada allows more latitude for developing correct
concurrent programs.",

abstract = "Recent proposals for multithreaded architectures
employ speculative execution to allow threads with
unknown dependences to execute speculatively in
parallel. The architectures use hardware speculative
storage to buffer speculative data, track data
dependences and correct incorrect executions through
roll-backs. Because all memory references access the
speculative storage, current proposals implement
speculative storage using small memory structures to
achieve fast access. The limited capacity of the
speculative storage causes considerable performance
loss due to speculative storage overflow whenever a
thread's speculative state exceeds the speculative
storage capacity. Larger threads exacerbate the
overflow problem but are preferable to smaller threads,
as larger threads uncover more parallelism. In this
article, we discover a new program property called
memory reference idempotency. Idempotent references are
guaranteed to be eventually corrected, though the
references may be temporarily incorrect in the process
of speculation. Therefore, idempotent references, even
from nonparallelizable program sections, need not be
tracked in the speculative storage, and instead can
directly access nonspeculative storage (i.e.,
conventional memory hierarchy). Thus, we reduce the
demand for speculative storage space in large threads.
We define a formal framework for reference idempotency
and present a novel compiler-assisted speculative
execution model. We prove the necessary and sufficient
conditions for reference idempotency using our model.
We present a compiler algorithm to label idempotent
memory references for the hardware. Experimental
results show that for our benchmarks, over 60\% of the
references in nonparallelizable program sections are
idempotent.",

abstract = "Threads are a seemingly straightforward adaptation of
the dominant sequential model of computation to
concurrent systems. Languages require little or no
syntactic changes to support threads, and operating
systems and architectures have evolved to efficiently
support them. Many technologists are pushing for
increased use of multithreading in software in order to
take advantage of the predicted increases in
parallelism in computer architectures. In this paper, I
argue that this is not a good idea. Although threads
seem to be a small step from sequential computation, in
fact, they represent a huge step. They discard the most
essential and appealing properties of sequential
computation: understandability, predictability, and
determinism. Threads, as a model of computation, are
wildly nondeterministic, and the job of the programmer
becomes one of pruning that nondeterminism. Although
many research techniques improve the model by offering
more effective pruning, I argue that this is
approaching the problem backwards. Rather than pruning
nondeterminism, we should build from essentially
deterministic, composable components. Nondeterminism
should be explicitly and judiciously introduced where
needed, rather than removed where not needed. The
consequences of this principle are profound. I argue
for the development of concurrent coordination
languages based on sound, composable formalisms. I
believe that such languages will yield much more
reliable, and more concurrent programs.",

abstract = "The synchronous language Esterel is well-suited for
programming control-dominated reactive systems at the
system level. It provides non-traditional control
structures, in particular concurrency and various forms
of preemption, which allow to concisely express
reactive behavior. As these control structures cannot
be mapped easily onto traditional, sequential
processors, an alternative approach that has emerged
recently makes use of special-purpose reactive
processors. However, the designs proposed so far have
limitations regarding completeness of the language
support, and did not really take advantage of
compile-time knowledge to optimize resource usage. This
paper presents a reactive processor, the Kiel Esterel
Processor 3a (KEP3a), and its compiler. The KEP3a
improves on earlier designs in several areas; most
notable are the support for exception handling and the
provision of context-dependent preemption handling
instructions. The KEP3a compiler presented here is to
our knowledge the first for multi-threaded reactive
processors. The translation of Esterel's preemption
constructs onto KEP3a assembler is straightforward;
however, a challenge is the correct and efficient
representation of Esterel's concurrency. The compiler
generates code that respects data and control
dependencies using the KEP3a priority-based scheduling
mechanism. We present a priority assignment approach
that makes use of a novel concurrent control flow graph
and has a complexity that in practice tends to be
linear in the size of the program. Unlike earlier
Esterel compilation schemes, this approach avoids
unnecessary context switches by considering each
thread's actual execution state at run time.
Furthermore, it avoids code replication present in
other approaches.",

abstract = "Transient faults are expected a be a major design
consideration in future microprocessors. Recent
proposals for transient fault detection in processor
cores have revolved around the idea of redundant
threading, which involves redundant execution of a
program across multiple execution contexts. This paper
presents a new approach to redundant threading by
bringing together the concepts of slice-level execution
and value and control-flow locality into a novel
partial redundant threading mechanism called SlicK .The
purpose of redundant execution is to check the
integrity of the outputs propagating out of the core
(typically through stores). SlicK implements redundancy
at the granularity of backward-slices of these output
instructions and exploits value and control-flow
locality to avoid redundantly executing slices that
lead to predictable outputs, thereby avoiding redundant
execution of a significant fraction of instructions
while maintaining extremely low vulnerabilities for
critical processor structures. We propose the
microarchitecture of a backward-slice extractor called
SliceEM that is able to identify backward slices
without interrupting the instruction flow, and show how
this extractor and a set of predictors can be
integrated into a redundant threading mechanism to form
SlicK. Detailed simulations with SPEC CPU2000
benchmarks show that SlicK can provide around 10.2\%
performance improvement over a well known redundant
threading mechanism, buying back over 50\% of the loss
suffered due to redundant execution. SlicK can keep the
Architectural Vulnerability Factors of processor
structures to typically 0\%-2\%. More importantly,
SlicK's slice-based mechanisms provide future
opportunities for exploring interesting points in the
performance-reliability design space based on market
segment needs.",

optimisation technique for achieving faster execution

Analysis of and data acquisition from such systems is
however difficult and complex, and is typically limited
to a specific hardware design and simulation
environment. We have implemented a flexible,
software-based speculative multithreading architecture
within the context of a full-featured Java virtual
machine. We consider the entire Java language and
provide a complete set of support features for
speculative execution, including return value
prediction. Using our system we are able to generate
extensive dynamic analysis information, analyse the
effects of runtime feedback, and determine the impact
of incorporating static, offline information. Our
approach allows for accurate analysis of Java SpMT on
existing, commodity multiprocessor hardware, and
provides a vehicle for further experimentation with
speculative approaches and optimisations.",

multi-threaded programs is to ensure that all accesses

present the core of our algorithm for a simple formal

discuss how we scale it up to an algorithm that aims to
be sound for all of C. We develop several techniques to
improve the precision and performance of the analysis,

locality; existential quantification for modeling locks

abstract = "Redundant threading architectures duplicate all
instructions to detect and possibly recover from
transient faults. Several lighter weight Partial
Redundant Threading (PRT) architectures have been
proposed recently. (i) Opportunistic Fault Tolerance
duplicates instructions only during periods of poor
single-thread performance. (ii) ReStore does not
explicitly duplicate instructions and instead exploits
mispredictions among highly confident branch
predictions as symptoms of faults. (iii) Slipstream
creates a reduced alternate thread by replacing many
instructions with highly confident predictions. We
explore PRT as a possible direction for achieving the
fault tolerance of full duplication with the
performance of single-thread execution. Opportunistic
and ReStore yield partial coverage since they are
restricted to using only partial duplication or only
confident predictions, respectively. Previous analysis
of Slipstream fault tolerance was cursory and concluded
that only duplicated instructions are covered. In this
paper, we attempt to better understand Slipstream's
fault tolerance, conjecturing that the mixture of
partial duplication and confident predictions actually
closely approximates the coverage of full duplication.
A thorough dissection of prediction scenarios confirms
that faults in nearly 100\% of instructions are
detectable. Fewer than 0.1\% of faulty instructions are
not detectable due to coincident faults and
mispredictions. Next we show that the current recovery
implementation fails to leverage excellent detection
capability, since recovery sometimes initiates
belatedly, after already retiring a detected faulty
instruction. We propose and evaluate a suite of simple
microarchitectural alterations to recovery and
checking. Using the best alterations, Slipstream can
recover from faults in 99\% of instructions, compared
to only 78\% of instructions without alterations. Both
results are much higher than predicted by past
research, which claims coverage for only duplicated
instructions, or 65\% of instructions. On an 8-issue
SMT processor, Slipstream performs within 1.3\% of
single-thread execution whereas full duplication slows
performance by 14\%. A key byproduct of this paper is a
novel analysis framework in which every dynamic
instruction is considered to be hypothetically faulty,
thus not requiring explicit fault injection. Fault
coverage is measured in terms of the fraction of
candidate faulty instructions that are directly or
indirectly detectable before.",

rate; (2) a Set/LRU timestamp approximation method that
better approximates timestamps of uncached memory

systems can often be repaired by re-executing the code

for safe re-execution in multi-threaded code is not
obvious, however. For a thread to correctly re-execute
a region of code, it must ensure that all other threads
which have witnessed its unwanted effects within that
region are also reverted to a meaningful earlier state.
If not done properly, data inconsistencies and other
undesirable behavior may result. however, automatically
determining what constitutes a consistent global

interactions are a dynamic property of the program. In
this paper, we present a safe and efficient
checkpointing mechanism for Concurrent ML (CML) that
can be used to recover from transient faults. We
introduce a new linguistic abstraction called
stabilizers that permits the specification of
per-thread monitors and the restoration of globally
consistent checkpoints. Safe global states are computed
through lightweight monitoring of communication events
among threads (e.g. message-passing operations or
updates to shared variables). Our experimental results
on several realistic, multithreaded, server-style CML
applications, including a web server and a windowing
toolkit, show that the overheads to use stabilizers are
small, and lead us to conclude that they are a viable

abstract = "Hardware transactional memory has great potential to
simplify the creation of correct and efficient
multithreaded programs, allowing programmers to exploit
more effectively the soon-to-be-ubiquitous multi-core
designs. Several recent proposals have extended the
original bounded transactional memory to unbounded
transactional memory, a crucial step toward
transactions becoming a general-purpose primitive.
Unfortunately, supporting the concurrent execution of
an unbounded number of unbounded transactions is
challenging, and as a result, many proposed
implementations are complex.\par
This paper explores a different approach. First, we
introduce the permissions-only cache to extend the
bound at which transactions overflow to allow the fast,
bounded case to be used as frequently as possible.
Second, we propose OneTM to simplify the implementation
of unbounded transactional memory by bounding the
concurrency of transactions that overflow the cache.
These mechanisms work synergistically to provide a
simple and fast unbounded transactional memory
system.\par
The permissions-only cache efficiently maintains the
coherence permissions --- but not data-for blocks read
or written transactionally that have been evicted from
the processor's caches. By holding coherence
permissions for these blocks, the regular cache
coherence protocol can be used to detect transactional
conflicts using only a few bits of on-chip storage per
overflowed cache block. OneTM allows only one
overflowed transaction at a time, relying on the
permissions-only cache to ensure that overflow is
infrequent. We present two implementations. In
OneTM-Serialized, an overflowed transaction simply
stalls all other threads in the application.\par
In OneTM-Concurrent, non-overflowed transactions and
non-transactional code can execute concurrently with
the overflowed transaction, providing more concurrency
while retaining OneTM's core simplifying assumption.",

of multi-threaded programs by providing concurrent
implementations of familiar data types such as queues

achieve superior performance on multiprocessors by
allowing concurrent data accesses without using locks.
Unfortunately, such algorithms can harbor subtle
concurrency bugs. Moreover, they require memory
ordering fences to function correctly on relaxed memory
models.\par
To address these difficulties, we propose a
verification approach that can exhaustively check all
concurrent executions of a given test program on a
relaxed memory model and can verify that they are
observationally equivalent to a sequential execution.
Our CheckFence prototype automatically translates the C
implementation code and the test program into a SAT
formula, hands the latter to a standard SAT solver, and
constructs counter example traces if there exist
incorrect executions. Applying CheckFence to five
previously published algorithms, we were able to (1)
find several bugs (some not previously known), and (2)
determine how to place memory ordering fences for
relaxed memory models.",

abstract = "Speculative parallelization is a technique that allows
code sections that cannot be fully analyzed by the
compiler to be aggressively executed in parallel.
However, while speculative parallelization can
potentially deliver significant speedups, several
overheads associated with this technique can limit
these speedups in practice. This paper proposes a novel
compiler static cost model of speculative multithreaded
execution that can be used to predict the resulting
performance. This model attempts to predict the
expected speedups, or slowdowns, of the candidate
speculative sections based on the estimation of the
combined runtime effects of various overheads, and
taking into account the scheduling restrictions of most
speculative execution environments. The model is based
on estimating the likely execution duration of threads
and considers all the possible permutations of these
threads. This model also produces a quantitative
estimate of the speedup, which is different from prior
heuristics that only qualitatively estimate the
benefits of speculative multithreaded execution. In
previous work, a limited version of the framework was
evaluated on a number of loops from a collection of
SPEC benchmarks that suffer mainly from load imbalance
and thread dispatch and commit overheads. In this work,
an extended framework is also evaluated on loops that
may suffer from data-dependence violations.
Experimental results show that prediction accuracy is
lower when loops with violations are included.
Nevertheless, accuracy is still very high for a static
model: the framework can identify, on average, 45\% of
the loops that cause slowdowns and, on average, 96\% of
the loops that lead to speedups; it predicts the
speedups or slowdowns with an error of less than 20\%
for an average of 28\% of the loops across the
benchmarks and with an error of less than 50\% for an
average of 80\% of the loops. Overall, the framework
often outperforms, by as much as 25\%, a naive approach
that attempts to speculatively parallelize all the
loops considered, and is able to curb the large
slowdowns caused in many cases by this naive
approach.",

abstract = "Data races often result in unexpected and erroneous
behavior. In addition to causing data corruption and
leading programs to crash, the presence of data races
complicates the semantics of an execution which might
no longer be sequentially consistent. Motivated by
these observations, we have designed and implemented a
Java runtime system that monitors program executions
and throws a DataRaceException when a data race is
about to occur. Analogous to other runtime exceptions,
the DataRaceException provides two key benefits. First,
accesses causing race conditions are interrupted and
handled before they cause errors that may be difficult
to diagnose later. Second, if no DataRaceException is
thrown in an execution, it is guaranteed to be
sequentially consistent. This strong guarantee helps to
rule out many concurrency-related possibilities as the
cause of erroneous behavior. When a DataRaceException
is caught, the operation, thread, or program causing it
can be terminated gracefully. Alternatively, the
DataRaceException can serve as a conflict-detection
mechanism in optimistic uses of concurrency.\par
We start with the definition of data-race-free
executions in the Java memory model. We generalize this
definition to executions that use transactions in
addition to locks and volatile variables for
synchronization. We present a precise and efficient
algorithm for dynamically verifying that an execution
is free of data races. This algorithm generalizes the
Goldilocks algorithm for data-race detection by
handling transactions and providing the ability to
distinguish between read and write accesses. We have
implemented our algorithm and the DataRaceException in
the Kaffe Java Virtual Machine. We have evaluated our
system on a variety of publicly available Java
benchmarks and a few microbenchmarks that combine
lock-based and transaction-based synchronization. Our
experiments indicate that our implementation has
reasonable overhead. Therefore, we believe that in
addition to being a debugging tool, the
DataRaceException may be a viable mechanism to enforce
the safety of executions of multithreaded Java
programs.",

the interest in Switch On Event multithreading
(coarse-grained multithreading). Switch On Event
multithreading is a low-power and low-complexity
mechanism to improve processor throughput by switching
threads on execution stalls. Fairness may, however,
become a problem in a multithreaded processor. Unless
fairness is properly handled, some threads may starve
while others consume all of the processor cycles.
Heuristics that were devised in order to improve
fairness in simultaneous multithreading are not
applicable to Switch On Event multithreading. This
paper defines the fairness metric using the ratio of
the individual threads' speedups and shows how it can
be enforced in Switch On Event multithreading. Fairness
is controlled by forcing additional thread switch
points. These switch points are determined dynamically
by runtime estimation of the single threaded
performance of each of the individual threads. We
analyze the impact of the fairness enforcement
mechanism on aggregate IPC and weighted speedup. We
present simulation results of the performance of Switch
On Event multithreading. Switch On Event multithreading
achieves an average aggregate IPC increase of 26\% over
single thread and 12\% weighted speedup when no
fairness is enforced. In this case, a sixth of our runs
resulted in poor fairness in which one thread ran
extremely slowly (10 to 100 times slower than its
single-thread performance), while the other thread's
performance was hardly affected. By using the proposed
mechanism, we can guarantee fairness at different

However, as processor technology evolves, said
algorithms are often unable to derive the maximum
achievable performance on these modern architectures.
In this paper, we examine the performance of frequent
pattern mining algorithms on a modern processor. A
detailed performance study reveals that even the best
frequent pattern mining implementations, with highly
efficient memory managers, still grossly under-utilize
a modern processor. The primary performance bottlenecks
are {\em poor data locality\/} and {\em low instruction
level parallelism (ILP)}. We propose a {\em
cache-conscious prefix tree\/} to address this problem.
The resulting tree improves spatial locality and also
enhances the benefits from hardware cache line
prefetching. Furthermore, the design of this data
structure allows the use of {\em path tiling}, a novel
tiling strategy, to improve temporal locality. The
result is an overall speedup of up to 3.2 when compared
with state of the art implementations. We then show how
these algorithms can be improved further by realizing a
non-naive thread-based decomposition that targets {\em
simultaneously multi-threaded processors (SMT)}. A key
aspect of this decomposition is to ensure cache re-use
between threads that are co-scheduled at a fine
granularity. This optimization affords an additional
speedup of 50\%, resulting in an overall speedup of up
to 4.8. The proposed optimizations also provide
performance improvements on SMPs, and will most likely

increased as memory performance has become increasingly
important to overall system performance. This article
describes the adaptive history-based (AHB) scheduler,
which uses the history of recently scheduled operations
to provide three conceptual benefits: (1) it allows the
scheduler to better reason about the delays associated
with its scheduling decisions, (2) it provides a
mechanism for combining multiple constraints, which is
important for increasingly complex DRAM structures, and
(3) it allows the scheduler to select operations so
that they match the program's mixture of Reads and
Writes, thereby avoiding certain bottlenecks within the
memory controller.\par
We have previously evaluated this scheduler in the
context of the IBM Power5. When compared with the state
of the art, this scheduler improves performance by
15.6\\%, 9.9\\%, and 7.6\\% for the Stream, NAS, and
commercial benchmarks, respectively. This article
expands our understanding of the AHB scheduler in a
variety of ways. Looking backwards, we describe the
scheduler in the context of prior work that focused
exclusively on avoiding bank conflicts, and we show
that the AHB scheduler is superior for the IBM Power5,
which we argue will be representative of future
microprocessor memory controllers. Looking forwards, we
evaluate this scheduler in the context of future
systems by varying a number of microarchitectural
features and hardware parameters. For example, we show

results demonstrate that this monad-based approach has
good performance: the threads are extremely lightweight

effective uses of the huge number of transistors

proposal, NXA, is less speculative than previous
proposals, relying heavily on software to guarantee
thread correctness, though still allowing parallelism
in the presence of ambiguous dependences. It divides a
single thread of execution into multiple using the
master-worker paradigm where some set of master threads
execute code that spawns tasks for other, worker
threads. The master threads generally consist of
performance critical instructions that can prefetch
data, compute critical control decisions, or compute
performance critical dataflow slices. This prevents
non-critical instructions from competing with critical
instructions for processor resources, allowing the
critical thread (and thus the workload) to complete
faster. Empirical results from performance simulation
show a 20\% improvement in performance on a 2-way CMP

Using a set of parallel programs that make frequent use

full-featured hardware TM system, while for workloads

because of unexpected interaction between concurrently
executing threads. Traditional testing methods are
inadequate for catching subtle concurrency errors which
manifest themselves late in the development cycle and
post-deployment. Model checking or systematic
exploration of program behavior is a promising
alternative to traditional testing methods. However, it
is difficult to perform systematic search on large
programs as the number of possible program behaviors
grows exponentially with the program size. Confronted
with this state-explosion problem, traditional model
checkers perform iterative depth-bounded search.
Although effective for message-passing software,
iterative depth-bounding is inadequate for
multithreaded software.\par
This paper proposes iterative context-bounding, a new
search algorithm that systematically explores the
executions of a multithreaded program in an order that
prioritizes executions with fewer context switches. We
distinguish between preempting and nonpreempting
context switches, and show that bounding the number of
preempting context switches to a small number
significantly alleviates the state explosion, without
limiting the depth of explored executions. We show both
theoretically and empirically that context-bounded
search is an effective method for exploring the
behaviors of multithreaded programs. We have
implemented our algorithm in two model checkers and
applied it to a number of real-world multithreaded
programs. Our implementation uncovered 9 previously
unknown bugs in our benchmarks, each of which was
exposed by an execution with at most 2 preempting
context switches. Our initial experience with the
technique is encouraging and demonstrates that
iterative context-bounding is a significant improvement
over existing techniques for testing multithreaded
programs.",

due to dataraces. There have been many efforts to
develop static and dynamic mechanisms to automatically

on finding the data races and eliminating the false

In this paper, we instead focus on a dynamic analysis
technique to automatically classify the data races into
two categories --- the dataraces that are potentially
benign and the data races that are potentially harmful.
A harmful data race is a real bug that needs to be
fixed. This classification is needed to focus the
triaging effort on those data races that are
potentially harmful. Without prioritizing the data
races we have found that there are too many data races
to triage. Our second focus is to automatically provide
to the developer a reproducible scenario of the data
race, which allows the developer to understand the
different effects of a harmful data race on a program's
execution.\par
To achieve the above, we record a multi-threaded
program's execution in a replay log. The replay log is
used to replay the multi-threaded program, and during
replay we find the data races using a happens-before
based algorithm. To automatically classify if a data
race that we find is potentially benign or potentially
harmful, were play the execution twice for a given data
race --- one for each possible order between the
conflicting memory operations. If the two replays for
the two orders produce the same result, then we
classify the data race to be potentially benign. We

To address the above problem, this paper makes the
first attempt to provide performance-guaranteed energy

comprehensive study on the effects of energy adaptation
on thread synchronizations and show that a
multithreaded application suffers from not only local
slowdowns due to energy adaptation, but also
significant slowdowns propagated from other threads
because of synchronization. Based on these findings, we
design three Synchronization-Aware (SA) algorithms, LWT
(Lock Waiting Time-based), CSL (Critical Section
Length-based) and ODP (Operation Delay
Propagation-based) algorithms, to estimate the energy
adaptation-induced slowdowns on each thread. The local
slowdowns are then combined across multiple threads via
three aggregation methods (MAX, AVG and SUM) to
estimate the overall application slowdown.\par

commercial application, IBM DB2 with
industrial-strength online transaction processing
(OLTP) workloads, and six SPLASH parallel scientific
applications. Our experimental results show that LWT

controls the performance slow down within the specified

abstract = "In previous work on SafeJava we presented a type
system extension to the Java source language that
statically prevents data races and deadlocks in
multithreaded programs. SafeJava is expressive enough
to support common programming patterns, its type
checking is fast and scalable, and it requires little
programming overhead. SafeJava thus offers a promising
approach for making multithreaded programs more
reliable. This paper presents a corresponding type
system extension for the Java virtual machine language
(JVML). We call the resulting language SafeJVML.
Well-typed SafeJVML programs are guaranteed to be free
of data races and deadlocks. Designing a corresponding
type system for JVML is important because most Java
code is shipped in the JVML format. Designing a
corresponding type system for JVML is nontrivial
because of important differences between Java and JVML.
In particular, the absence of block structure in JVML
programs and the fact that they do not use named local
variables the way Java programs do make the type
systems for Java and JVML significantly different. For
example, verifying absence of races and deadlocks in
JVML programs requires performing an alias analysis,
something that was not necessary for verifying absence
of races and deadlocks in Java programs. This paper
presents static and dynamic semantics for Safe JVML. It
also includes a proof that the SafeJVML type system is
sound and that it prevents data races and deadlocks. To
the best of our knowledge, this is the first type
system for JVML that statically ensures absence of
synchronization errors.",

paper, we first develop an abstract model for
understanding the performance impact with respect to

interactions among multiple cores in the abstract
model, we propose a global stack simulation strategy to
study the performance of a variety of cache
organizations on CMPs. The global stack logically
incorporates a shared stack and per-core private stacks
to collect shared/private reuse (stack) distances for
every memory reference in a single simulation pass.
With the collected reuse distances, performance in
terms of hits/misses and average memory access times
can be calculated for various cache organizations. We
verify the stack results against individual
execution-driven simulations that consider realistic
cache parameters and delays using a set of commercial
multithreaded workloads. The results show that stack
simulations can accurately model the performance of
various cache organizations. The single-pass stack
simulation results demonstrate that the effectiveness
of various techniques for optimizing the CMP on-chip

workloads as well as to the total cache sizes.",

to standard transactional memory the ability for a

as well as to invoke nonrepeatable or irreversible
operations, such as I/O. Cooperating transactions run
the danger of exposing intermediate state and of having
other threads change the transaction's state. The TIC
model protects against unanticipated interference by
having the type system keep track of all operations
that may (transitively) violate the atomicity of a
transaction and require the programmer to establish
consistency at appropriate points. The result is a
programming model that is both general and simple. We
have used the TIC model to re-engineer existing
lock-based applications including a substantial
multi-threaded web mail server and a memory allocator
with coarse-grained locking. Our experience confirms
the features of the TIC model: It is convenient for the

large-scale systems will have multiple processing chips

non-uniform data sharing overheads. Current operating
system schedulers are not aware of these new cache
organizations, and as a result, distribute threads

In this paper we describe the design and implementation
of a scheme to schedule threads based on sharing
patterns detected online using features of standard
performance monitoring units (PMUs) available in
today's processing units. The primary advantage of
using the PMU infrastructure is that it is fine-grained

overhead. We have implemented our scheme in Linux
running on an 8- way Power5 SMP-CMP-SMT
multi-processor. For commercial multithreaded server

challenge in microprocessor design. Driven by
exponentially increasing transistor counts, per-chip
faults are a growing burden. To protect against soft
errors, redundancy techniques such as redundant
multithreading (RMT) are often used. However, these
techniques assume that the probability that a
structural fault will result in a soft error (i.e., the
Architectural Vulnerability Factor (AVF)) is 100
percent, unnecessarily draining processor resources.
Due to the high cost of redundancy, there have been
efforts to throttle RMT at runtime. To date, these
methods have not incorporated an AVF model and
therefore tend to be ad hoc. Unfortunately, computing
the AVF of complex microprocessor structures (e.g., the
ISQ) can be quite involved.\par
To provide probabilistic guarantees about fault
tolerance, we have created a rigorous characterization
of AVF behavior that can be easily implemented in
hardware. We experimentally demonstrate AVF variability
within and across the SPEC2000 benchmarks and identify
strong correlations between structural AVF values and a
small set of processor metrics. Using these simple

of networking equipment due to their high performance
and flexibility. For most NPs, software cache is used
instead of hardware cache due to the chip area, cost
and power constraints. Therefore, programmers should
take full responsibility for software cache management
which is neither intuitive nor easy to most of them.
Actually, without an effective use of it, long memory
access latency will be a critical limiting factor to
overall applications. Prior researches like hardware
multi-threading, wide-word accesses and packet access
combination for caching have already been applied to
help programmers to overcome this bottleneck. However,
most of them do not make enough use of the
characteristics of packet processing applications and
often perform intraprocedural optimizations only. As a
result, the binary codes generated by those techniques
often get lower performance than that comes from
hand-tuned assembly programming for some applications.
In this paper, we propose an algorithm including two
techniques --- Critical Path Based Analysis (CPBA) and
Global Adaptive Localization (GAL), to optimize the
software cache performance of packet processing
applications. Packet processing applications usually
have several hot paths and CPBA tries to insert
localization instructions according to their execution
frequencies. For further optimizations, GAL eliminates
some redundant localization instructions by
interprocedural analysis and optimizations. Our
algorithm is applied on some representative
applications. Experiment results show that it leads to
an average speedup by a factor of 1.974.",

to deal with the runtime events that are typically
difficult for the VLIW core to handle, such as L2 cache
misses. Our initial experimental results by running the
preexecution thread on the superscalar core to mitigate
the L2 cache misses of the main thread on the VLIW core

abstract = "With the introduction of highly concurrent systems in
standard desktop computers, ensuring correctness of
industrial-size concurrent programs is becoming
increasingly important. One of the most important
standards in use for developing multi-threaded programs
is the POSIX Threads standard, commonly known as
PThreads. Of particular importance, the analysis of
industrial code should, as far as possible, be
automatic and not require annotations or other forms of
specifications of the code.\par
Model checking has been one of the most successful
approaches to program verification during the last two
decades. The size and complexity of applications which
can be handled have increased rapidly through
integration with symbolic techniques. These methods are
designed to work on finite (but large) state spaces.
This framework fails to deal with several essential
aspects of behaviours for multithreaded programs: there
is no bound a priori on the number of threads which may
arise in a given run of the system; each thread
manipulates local variables which often range over
unbounded domains; and the system has a dynamic
structure in the sense that threads can be created and
killed throughout execution of the system. In this
paper we concentrate on checking a particular class of
properties for concurrent programs, namely safety
properties. In particular, we focus on race-freeness,
that is, the absence of race conditions (also known as
data races) in shared-variable pthreaded
programs.\par
We will follow a particular methodology which we have
earlier developed for model checking general classes of
infinite-state systems [1, 3, 6, 8, 9] and apply a
symbolic backward reachability analysis to verify the
safety property. Since we construct a model as an
over-approximation of the original program, proving the
safety property in the model implies that the property
also holds in the original system. Surprisingly, it
leads to a quite efficient analysis which can be
carried out fully automatically.",

terminates only for acyclic inputs with a more general

terminates for all inputs while never being more than a

abstract = "Multiprocessor scheduling in a shared multiprogramming
environment can be structured as two-level scheduling,
where a kernel-level job scheduler allots processors to
jobs and a user-level thread scheduler schedules the
work of a job on its allotted processors. We present a
randomized work-stealing thread scheduler for fork-join
multithreaded jobs that provides continual parallelism
feedback to the job scheduler in the form of requests
for processors. Our A-STEAL algorithm is appropriate
for large parallel servers where many jobs share a
common multiprocessor resource and in which the number
of processors available to a particular job may vary
during the job's execution. Assuming that the job
scheduler never allots a job more processors than
requested by the job's thread scheduler, A-STEAL
guarantees that the job completes in near-optimal time
while utilizing at least a constant fraction of the
allotted processors.\par
We model the job scheduler as the thread scheduler's
adversary, challenging the thread scheduler to be
robust to the operating environment as well as to the
job scheduler's administrative policies. For example,
the job scheduler might make a large number of
processors available exactly when the job has little
use for them. To analyze the performance of our
adaptive thread scheduler under this stringent
adversarial assumption, we introduce a new technique
called {\em trim analysis,\/} which allows us to prove
that our thread scheduler performs poorly on no more
than a small number of time steps, exhibiting
near-optimal behavior on the vast majority.\par
More precisely, suppose that a job has work $ T_1 $ and
span $ T_\infty $. On a machine with $P$ processors,
A-STEAL completes the job in an expected duration of $
O(T_1 / \tilde {P} + T_\infty + L \lg P)$ time steps,
where $L$ is the length of a scheduling quantum, and $
\tilde {P}$ denotes the $ O(T_\infty + L \lg
P)$-trimmed availability. This quantity is the average
of the processor availability over all time steps
except the $ O(T_\infty + L \lg P)$ time steps that
have the highest processor availability. When the job's
parallelism dominates the trimmed availability, that
is, $ \tilde {P} \ll T_1 / T_\infty $, the job achieves
nearly perfect linear speedup. Conversely, when the
trimmed mean dominates the parallelism, the asymptotic
running time of the job is nearly the length of its
span, which is optimal.\par
We measured the performance of A-STEAL on a simulated
multiprocessor system using synthetic workloads. For
jobs with sufficient parallelism, our experiments
confirm that A-STEAL provides almost perfect linear
speedup across a variety of processor availability
profiles. We compared A-STEAL with the ABP algorithm,
an adaptive work-stealing thread scheduler developed by
Arora et al. [1998] which does not employ parallelism
feedback. On moderately to heavily loaded machines with
large numbers of processors, A-STEAL typically
completed jobs more than twice as quickly as ABP,
despite being allotted the same number or fewer
processors on every step, while wasting only 10\% of
the processor cycles wasted by ABP.",

cause of insidious bugs in multithreaded programs. We
present a tool called SharC (short for Sharing Checker)
that allows a user to write lightweight annotations to
declare how they believe objects are being shared
between threads in their program. SharC uses a
combination of static and dynamic analyses to check
that the program conforms to this
specification.\par
SharC allows any type to have one of five 'sharing
modes' -- private to the current thread, read-only,
shared under the control of a specified lock,
intentionally racy, or checked dynamically. The dynamic
mode uses run-time checking to verify that objects are
either read-only, or only accessed by one thread. This
allows us to check programs that would be difficult to
check with a purely static system. If the user does not
give a type an explicit annotation, then SharC uses a
static type-qualifier analysis to infer that it is
either private or should be checked
dynamically.\par
SharC allows objects to move between different sharing
modes at runtime by using reference counting to check
that there are no other references to the objects when
they change mode.\par
SharC's baseline dynamic analysis can check any C
program, but is slow, and will generate false warnings
about intentional data sharing. As the user adds more
annotations, false warnings are reduced, and
performance improves. We have found in practice that
very few annotations are needed to describe all sharing
and give reasonable performance. We ran SharC on 6
legacy C programs, summing to over 600k lines of code,
and found that a total of only 60 simple annotations
were needed to remove all false positives and to reduce
performance overhead to only 2-14\%.",

abstract = "Dataflow analyses for concurrent programs differ from
their single-threaded counterparts in that they must
account for shared memory locations being overwritten
by concurrent threads. Existing dataflow analysis
techniques for concurrent programs typically fall at
either end of a spectrum: at one end, the analysis
conservatively kills facts about all data that might
possibly be shared by multiple threads; at the other
end, a precise thread-interleaving analysis determines
which data may be shared, and thus which dataflow facts
must be invalidated. The former approach can suffer
from imprecision, whereas the latter does not
scale.\par
We present RADAR, a framework that automatically
converts a dataflow analysis for sequential programs
into one that is correct for concurrent programs. RADAR
uses a race detection engine to kill the dataflow
facts, generated and propagated by the sequential
analysis, that become invalid due to concurrent writes.
Our approach of factoring all reasoning about
concurrency into a race detection engine yields two
benefits. First, to obtain analyses for code using new
concurrency constructs, one need only design a suitable
race detection engine for the constructs. Second, it
gives analysis designers an easy way to tune the
scalability and precision of the overall analysis by
only modifying the race detection engine. We describe
the RADAR framework and its implementation using a
pre-existing race detection engine. We show how RADAR
was used to generate a concurrent version of a
null-pointer dereference analysis, and we analyze the
result of running the generated concurrent analysis on
several benchmarks.",

abstract = "This extended abstract presents LFTHREADS, a thread
library entirely based on lock-free methods, i.e. no
spinlocks or similar synchronization mechanisms are
employed in the implementation of the multithreading.
Since lockfreedom is highly desirable in
multiprocessors/multicores due to its advantages in
parallelism, fault-tolerance, convoy-avoidance and
more, there is an increased demand in lock-free methods
in parallel applications, hence also in
multiprocessor/multicore system services. LFTHREADS is
the first thread library that provides a lock-free
implementation of blocking synchronization primitives
for application threads; although the latter may sound
like a contradicting goal, such objects have several
benefits: e.g. library operations that block and
unblock threads on the same synchronization object can
make progress in parallel while maintaining the desired
thread-level semantics and without having to wait for
any 'low' operations among them. Besides, as no
spin-locks or similar synchronization mechanisms are
employed, memory contention can be reduced and
processors/cores are able to do useful work. As a
consequence, applications, too, can enjoy enhanced
parallelism and fault-tolerance. For the
synchronization in LFTHREADS we have introduced a new
method, which we call responsibility hand-off (RHO),
that does not need any special kernel support. The RHO
method is also of independent interest, as it can also
serve as a tool for lock-free token passing, management
of contention and interaction between scheduling and
synchronization. This paper gives an outline and the
context of LFTHREADS. For more details the reader is
referred to [7] and [8].",

If the annotated program verifies, the underlying Java

races, and it is sound to reason locally about program
behavior. Verification is modular: a program is valid
if all methods are valid, and validity of a method does
not depend on program elements that are not visible to
the method. We have implemented a verifier for programs

straightforward use of 3D stacking technology enables
the design of compact energy-efficient servers. Our
proposed architecture, called PicoServer, employs 3D
technology to bond one die containing several simple,
slow processing cores to multiple memory dies
sufficient for a primary memory. The multiple memory
dies are composed of DRAM. This use of 3D stacks
readily facilitates wide low-latency buses between
processors and memory. These remove the need for an L2
cache allowing its area to be re-allocated to
additional simple cores. The additional cores allow the
clock frequency to be lowered without impairing
throughput. Lower clock frequency means that thermal
constraints, a concern with 3D stacking, are easily
satisfied. We extend our original analysis on
PicoServer to include: (1) a wider set of server
workloads, (2) the impact of multithreading, and (3)
the on-chip DRAM architecture and system memory usage.
PicoServer is intentionally simple, requiring only the
simplest form of 3D technology where die are stacked on
top of one another. Our intent is to minimize risk of
introducing a new technology (3D) to implement a class
of low-cost, low-power compact server architectures.",

abstract = "The current trend is for processors to deliver
dramatic improvements in parallel performance while
only modestly improving serial performance. Parallel
performance is harvested through vector/SIMD
instructions as well as multithreading (through both
multithreaded cores and chip multiprocessors). Vector
parallelism can be more efficiently supported than
multithreading, but is often harder for software to
exploit. In particular, code with sparse data access
patterns cannot easily utilize the vector/SIMD
instructions of mainstream processors. Hardware to
scatter and gather sparse data has previously been
proposed to enable vector execution for these codes.
However, on multithreaded architectures, a number of
applications spend significant time on atomic
operations (e.g., parallel reductions), which cannot be
vectorized using previously proposed schemes. This
paper proposes architectural support for atomic vector
operations (referred to as GLSC) that addresses this
limitation. GLSC extends scatter-gather hardware to
support atomic memory operations. Our experiments show
that the GLSC provides an average performance
improvement on a set of important RMS kernels of 54\%
for 4-wide SIMD.",

provide more value-added services and guaranteed
quality of service. Besides hardware-based solutions,
many software-based classification algorithms have been
proposed. However, classifying at 10 Gbps speed or
higher is a challenging problem and it is still one of
the performance bottlenecks in core routers. In
general, classification algorithms face the same
challenge of balancing between high classification
speed and low memory requirements. This paper proposes
a modified recursive flow classification (RFC)
algorithm, Bitmap-RFC, which significantly reduces the
memory requirements of RFC by applying a bitmap
compression technique. To speed up classifying speed,
we exploit the multithreaded architectural features in
various algorithm development stages from algorithm
design to algorithm implementation. As a result,
Bitmap-RFC strikes a good balance between speed and
space. It can significantly keep both high
classification speed and reduce memory space
consumption. This paper investigates the main NPU
software design aspects that have dramatic performance
impacts on any NPU-based implementations: memory space
reduction, instruction selection, data allocation, task
partitioning, and latency hiding. We experiment with an
architecture-aware design principle to guarantee the
high performance of the classification algorithm on an
NPU implementation. The experimental results show that
the Bitmap-RFC algorithm achieves 10 Gbps speed or
higher and has a good scalability on Intel IXP2800

For highest effectiveness, replay schemes should (i)

similar to that of the initial execution. In this
paper, we propose a new substrate for deterministic
replay that provides substantial advances along these
axes. In our proposal, processors execute blocks of
instructions atomically, as in transactional memory or
speculative multithreading, and the system only needs
to record the commit order of these blocks. We call our
scheme DeLorean. Our results show that DeLorean records
execution at a speed similar to that of Release
Consistency (RC) execution and replays at about 82\% of
its speed. In contrast, most current schemes only
record at the speed of Sequential Consistency (SC)
execution. Moreover, DeLorean only needs 7.5\% of the
log size needed by a state-of-the-art scheme. Finally,
DeLorean can be configured to need only 0.6\% of the
log size of the state-of-the-art scheme at the cost of
recording at 86\% of RC's execution speed --- still
faster than SC. In this configuration, the log of an
8-processor 5-GHz machine is estimated to be only about

exploration technique for systematically testing
complex real-world software. Existing stateless model
checkers are limited to the verification of safety
properties on terminating programs. However, realistic
concurrent programs are nonterminating, a property that
significantly reduces the efficacy of stateless model
checking in testing them. Moreover, existing stateless
model checkers are unable to verify that a
nonterminating program satisfies the important liveness
property of livelock-freedom, a property that requires
the program to make continuous progress for any
input.\par
To address these shortcomings, this paper argues for
incorporating a fair scheduler in stateless
exploration. The key contribution of this paper is an
explicit scheduler that is (strongly) fair and at the
same time sufficiently nondeterministic to guarantee
full coverage of safety properties. We have implemented
the fair scheduler in the CHESS model checker. We show
through theoretical arguments and empirical evaluation
that our algorithm satisfies two important properties:
(1) it visits all states of a finite-state program
achieving state coverage at a faster rate than existing
techniques, and (2) it finds all livelocks in a
finite-state program. Before this work, nonterminating
programs had to be manually modified in order to apply
CHESS to them. The addition of fairness has allowed
CHESS to be effectively applied to real-world
nonterminating programs without any modification. For
example, we have successfully booted the Singularity
operating system under the control of CHESS.",

First, we show how prior and future effects can be used
to enforce transactional version consistency (TVC), a
novel correctness property for dynamic software
updates. TV Censures that programmer-designated
transactional code blocks appear to execute entirely at
the same code version, even if a dynamic update occurs
in the middle of the block. Second, we show how future

abstract = "Bugs in multi-threaded programs often arise due to
data races. Numerous static and dynamic program
analysis techniques have been proposed to detect data
races. We propose a novel randomized dynamic analysis
technique that utilizes potential data race information
obtained from an existing analysis tool to separate
real races from false races without any need for manual
inspection. Specifically, we use potential data race
information obtained from an existing dynamic analysis
technique to control a random scheduler of threads so
that real race conditions get created with very high
probability and those races get resolved randomly at
runtime. Our approach has several advantages over
existing dynamic analysis tools. First, we can create a
real race condition and resolve the race randomly to
see if an error can occur due to the race. Second, we
can replay a race revealing execution efficiently by
simply using the same seed for random number
generation--we do not need to record the execution.
Third, our approach has very low overhead compared to
other precise dynamic race detection techniques because
we only track all synchronization operations and a
single pair of memory access statements that are
reported to be in a potential race by an existing
analysis. We have implemented the technique in a
prototype tool for Java and have experimented on a
number of large multi-threaded Java programs. We report
a number of previously known and unknown bugs and real
races in these Java programs.",

components limiting the number of threads that can be
supported on a simultaneous multithreading (SMT)
processor. To allow the use of smaller register files
without degrading performance, techniques that maximize
the efficiency of using registers through aggressive
register allocation/deallocation can be considered. In
this article, we propose a novel technique to early
deallocate physical registers allocated to threads
which experience L2 cache misses. This is accomplished
by speculatively committing the load-independent
instructions and deallocating the registers
corresponding to the previous mappings of their
destinations, without waiting for the cache miss
request to be serviced. The early deallocated registers
are then made immediately available for allocation to
instructions within the same thread as well as within
other threads, thus improving the overall processor
throughput. On the average across the simulated mixes
of multiprogrammed SPEC 2000 workloads, our technique
results in 33\% improvement in throughput and 25\%
improvement in terms of harmonic mean of weighted IPCs
over the baseline SMT with the state-of-the-art DCRA
policy. This is achieved without creating checkpoints,
maintaining per-register counters of pending consumers,
performing tag rebroadcasts, register remappings,

performance per chip from the 10 gigaflop to the 10

limitations, the energy cost of electrical signaling,
and the non-scalability of chip-length global wires are
significant bandwidth impediments. Recent developments
in silicon nanophotonic technology have the potential
to meet these off- and on-stack bandwidth requirements
at acceptable power levels. Corona is a 3D many-core

both inter-core communication and off-stack
communication to memory or I/O devices. Its peak
floating-point performance is 10 teraflops. Dense
wavelength division multiplexed optically connected

256 low-power multithreaded cores at 20 terabyte per

PowerPC systems, and provides a complete set of
simulation tools to help IBM and its partners in
pre-hardware development and performance evaluation for
future systems. Currently Mambo simulates target
systems on a single host thread. When the number of
cores increases in a target system, Mambo's simulation
performance for each core goes down. As the so-called
`multi-core era' approaches, both target and host
systems will have more and more cores. It is very
important for Mambo to efficiently simulate a
multi-core target system on a multi-core host system.
Parallelization is a natural method to speed up Mambo
under this situation.\par
Parallel Mambo (P-Mambo) is a multi-threaded
implementation of Mambo. Mambo's simulation engine is
implemented as a user-level thread-scheduler. We
propose a multi-scheduler method to adapt Mambo's
simulation engine to multi-threaded execution. Based on
this method a core-based module partition is proposed
to achieve both high inter-scheduler parallelism and
low inter-scheduler dependency. Protection of shared
resources is crucial to both correctness and
performance of P-Mambo. Since there are two tiers of
threads in P-Mambo, protecting shared resources by only
OS-level locks possibly introduces deadlocks due to
user-level context switch. We propose a new lock
mechanism to handle this problem. Since Mambo is an
on-going project with many modules currently under
development, co-existence with new modules is also
important to P-Mambo. We propose a global-lock-based
method to guarantee compatibility of P-Mambo with
future Mambo modules.\par
We have implemented the first version of P-Mambo in
functional modes. The performance of P-Mambo has been
evaluated on the OpenMP implementation of NAS Parallel
Benchmark (NPB) 3.2 [12]. Preliminary experimental
results show that P-Mambo achieves an average speedup
of 3.4 on a 4-core host machine.",

increasingly employed by managed runtime environments
(MREs) to maintain scalability, as multi-core
architectures and multi-threaded applications become
pervasive. Moreover, state-of-the-art MREs commonly
implement compaction to eliminate heap fragmentation
and enable fast linear object allocation.\par
Our empirical analysis of object demographics reveals
that unreachable objects in the heap tend to form
clusters large enough to be effectively managed at the
granularity of virtual memory pages. Even though
processes can manipulate the mapping of the virtual
address space through the standard operating system
(OS) interface on most platforms, extant
parallel/concurrent compactors do not do so to exploit
this clustering behavior and instead achieve compaction
by performing, relatively expensive, object moving and
pointer adjustment.\par
We introduce the Mapping Collector (MC), which
leverages virtual memory operations to reclaim and
consolidate free space without moving objects and
updating pointers. MC is a nearly-single-phase
compactor that is simpler and more efficient than
previously reported compactors that comprise two to
four phases. Through effective MRE-OS coordination, MC
maintains the simplicity of a non-moving collector
while providing efficient parallel and concurrent
compaction.\par
We implement both stop-the-world and concurrent MC in a
generational garbage collection framework within the
open-source HotSpot Java Virtual Machine. Our
experimental evaluation using a multiprocessor
indicates that MC significantly increases throughput
and scalability as well as reduces pause times,
relative to state-of-the-art, parallel and concurrent
compactors.",

requires software engineers to create multi-threaded

already daunting task of software development. One
solution to this problem is automatic compile-time
parallelization, which can ease the burden on software
developers in many situations. Clearly, automatic
parallelization in its present form is not suitable for
many application domains and new compiler analyses are
needed address its shortcomings.\par
In this paper, we present one such analysis: a new
approach for detecting commutative functions.
Commutative functions are sections of code that can be
executed in any order without affecting the outcome of
the application, e.g., inserting elements into a set.
Previous research on this topic had one significant
limitation, in that the results of a commutative
functions must produce identical memory layouts. This
prevented previous techniques from detecting functions
like malloc, which may return different pointers
depending on the order in which it is called, but these
differing results do not affect the overall output of
the application. Our new commutativity analysis
correctly identify these situations to better
facilitate automatic parallelization. We demonstrate
that this analysis can automatically extract
significant amounts of parallelism from many
applications, and where it is ineffective it can
provide software developers a useful list of functions
that may be commutative provided semantic program
changes that are not automatable.",

abstract = "SharC is a recently developed system for checking
data-sharing in multithreaded programs. Programmers
specify sharing rules (read-only, protected by a lock,
etc.) for individual objects, and the SharC compiler
enforces these rules using static and dynamic checks.
Violations of these rules indicate unintended data
sharing, which is the underlying cause of harmful
data-races. Additionally, SharC allows programmers to
change the sharing rules for a specific object using a
{\em sharing cast}, to capture the fact that sharing
rules for an object often change during the object's
lifetime. SharC was successfully applied to a number of
multi-threaded C programs.\par
However, many programs are not readily checkable using
SharC because their sharing rules, and changes to
sharing rules, effectively apply to whole data
structures rather than to individual objects. We have
developed a system called {\em Shoal\/} to address this
shortcoming. In addition to the sharing rules and
sharing cast of SharC, our system includes a new
concept that we call {\em groups}. A group is a
collection of objects all having the same sharing mode.
Each group has a distinguished member called the {\em
group leader}. When the sharing mode of the group
leader changes by way of a sharing cast, the sharing
mode of all members of the group also changes. This
operation is made sound by maintaining the invariant
that at the point of a sharing cast, the only external
pointer into the group is the pointer to the group
leader. The addition of groups allows checking safe
concurrency at the level of data structures rather than
at the level of individual objects.\par
We demonstrate the necessity and practicality of groups
by applying Shoal to a wide range of concurrent C
programs (the largest approaching a million lines of
code). In all benchmarks groups entail low annotation
burden and no significant additional performance
overhead.",

The method implies collection of performance data at

visible execution point of the virtualized software may
then be associated with information on real hardware

abstract = "The key to high performance in Simultaneous
MultiThreaded (SMT) processors lies in optimizing the
distribution of shared resources to active threads.
Existing resource distribution techniques optimize
performance only indirectly. They infer potential
performance bottlenecks by observing indicators, like
instruction occupancy or cache miss counts, and take
actions to try to alleviate them. While the corrective
actions are designed to improve performance, their
actual performance impact is not known since end
performance is never monitored. Consequently, potential
performance gains are lost whenever the corrective
actions do not effectively address the actual
bottlenecks occurring in the pipeline.\par
We propose a different approach to SMT resource
distribution that optimizes end performance directly.
Our approach observes the impact that resource
distribution decisions have on performance at runtime,
and feeds this information back to the resource
distribution mechanisms to improve future decisions. By
evaluating many different resource distributions, our
approach tries to learn the best distribution over
time. Because we perform learning online, learning time
is crucial. We develop a hill-climbing algorithm that
quickly learns the best distribution of resources by
following the performance gradient within the resource
distribution space. We also develop several ideal
learning algorithms to enable deeper insights through
limit studies.\par
This article conducts an in-depth investigation of
hill-climbing SMT resource distribution using a
comprehensive suite of 63 multiprogrammed workloads.
Our results show hill-climbing outperforms ICOUNT,
FLUSH, and DCRA (three existing SMT techniques) by
11.4\%, 11.5\%, and 2.8\%, respectively, under the
weighted IPC metric. A limit study conducted using our
ideal learning algorithms shows our approach can
potentially outperform the same techniques by 19.2\%,
18.0\%, and 7.6\%, respectively, thus demonstrating
additional room exists for further improvement. Using
our ideal algorithms, we also identify three
bottlenecks that limit online learning speed: local
maxima, phased behavior, and interepoch jitter. We
define metrics to quantify these learning bottlenecks,
and characterize the extent to which they occur in our
workloads. Finally, we conduct a sensitivity study, and
investigate several extensions to improve our
hill-climbing technique.",

systems are nondeterministic. Each time these systems
execute a multithreaded application, even if supplied

ability to properly test multithreaded code, becoming a
major stumbling block to the much-needed widespread
adoption of parallel programming.\par
In this paper we make the case for fully deterministic
shared memory multiprocessing (DMP). The behavior of an
arbitrary multithreaded program on a DMP system is only
a function of its inputs. The core idea is to make
inter-thread communication fully deterministic.
Previous approaches to coping with nondeterminism in
multithreaded programs have focused on replay, a
technique useful only for debugging. In contrast, while
DMP systems are directly useful for debugging by
offering repeatability by default, we argue that
parallel programs should execute deterministically in
the field as well. This has the potential to make
testing more assuring and increase the reliability of
deployed multithreaded software. We propose a range of
approaches to enforcing determinism and discuss their
implementation trade-offs. We show that determinism can
be provided with little performance cost using our
architecture proposals on future hardware, and that
software-only approaches can be utilized on existing

prevented from allocating additional resources.
However, in case multiple independent long-latency
loads overlap (i.e., there is MLP), the thread should
allocate as many resources as needed in order to fully

achieve better performance for MLP-intensive threads on

lost cycle count due to SMT execution. The cycle

(around 1KB of storage) and estimates single-threaded
performance with average prediction errors around 7.2\%

The cycle accounting architecture has several important
applications to system software and its interaction
with SMT hardware. For one, the estimated single-thread

system software of the actually consumed processor

control hardware. Scalar threads running the same
computing kernel are grouped together into SIMD
batches, sometimes referred to as warps. While SIMD is

control flow instructions in the GPU instruction set

add a stack to allow different SIMD processing elements

significantly degrades performance using this approach.
In this article, we propose dynamic warp formation and

throughput. As the number of shared resources increase,
managing them while guaranteeing predicted performance
becomes a major problem. Attempts have been made in
previous work to ease this via different fairness
mechanisms. In this article, we present a new approach
to control the resource allocation and sharing via a
service level agreement (SLA)-based mechanism; that is,
via an agreement in which multithreaded processors
guarantee a minimal level of service to the running
threads. We introduce a new metric, {\em C\/}$_{SLA}$,
for conformance to SLA in multithreaded processors and
show that controlling resources using with SLA allows
for higher gains than are achievable by previously
suggested fairness techniques. It also permits
improving one metric (e.g., power) while maintaining
SLA in another (e.g., performance). We compare SLA
enforcement to schemes based on other fairness metrics,
which are mostly targeted at equalizing execution
parameters. We show that using SLA rather than fairness
based algorithms provides a range of acceptable
execution points from which we can select the point
that best fits our optimization target, such as
maximizing the weighted speedup (sum of the speedups of
the individual threads) or reducing power. We
demonstrate the effectiveness of the new SLA approach
using switch-on-event (coarse-grained) multithreading.
Our weighted speedup improvement scheme successfully
enforces SLA while improving the weighted speedup by an
average of 10\% for unbalanced threads. This result is
significant when compared with performance losses that
may be incurred by fairness enforcement methods. When
optimizing for power reduction in unbalanced threads
SLA enforcement reduces the power by an average of
15\%. SLA may be complemented by other power reduction
methods to achieve further power savings {\em and\/}
maintain the same service level for the threads. We
also demonstrate differentiated SLA, where weighted
speedup is maximized while each thread may have a
different throughput constraint.",

abstract = "Asynchronous or 'event-driven' programming is a
popular technique to efficiently and flexibly manage
concurrent interactions. In these programs, the
programmer can post tasks that get stored in a task
buffer and get executed atomically by a non-preemptive
scheduler at a future point. We give a decision
procedure for the fair termination property of
asynchronous programs. The fair termination problem
asks, given an asynchronous program and a fairness
condition on its executions, does the program always
terminate on fair executions? The fairness assumptions
rule out certain undesired bad behaviors, such as where
the scheduler ignores a set of posted tasks forever, or
where a non-deterministic branch is always chosen in
one direction. Since every liveness property reduces to
a fair termination property, our decision procedure
extends to liveness properties of asynchronous
programs. Our decision procedure for the fair
termination of asynchronous programs assumes all
variables are finite-state. Even though variables are
finite-state, asynchronous programs can have an
unbounded stack from recursive calls made by tasks, as
well as an unbounded task buffer of pending tasks. We
show a reduction from the fair termination problem for
asynchronous programs to fair termination problems on
Petri Nets, and our main technical result is a
reduction of the latter problem to Presburger
satisfiability. Our decidability result is in contrast
to multithreaded recursive programs, for which liveness
properties are undecidable. While we focus on fair
termination, we show our reduction to Petri Nets can be
used to prove related properties such as fair
nonstarvation (every posted task is eventually
executed) and safety properties such as boundedness
(find a bound on the maximum number of posted tasks
that can be in the task buffer at any point).",

abstract = "As computer systems continue to become more powerful
and complex, so do programs. High-level abstractions
introduced to deal with complexity in large programs,
while simplifying human reasoning, can often obfuscate
salient program properties gleaned from automated
source-level analysis through subtle (often non-local)
interactions. Consequently, understanding the effects
of program changes and whether these changes violate
intended protocols become difficult to infer.
Refactorings, and feature additions, modifications, or
removals can introduce hard-to-catch bugs that often go
undetected until many revisions later.\par
To address these issues, this paper presents a novel
dynamic program analysis that builds a {\em semantic
view\/} of program executions. These views reflect
program abstractions and aspects; however, views are
not simply projections of execution traces, but are
linked to each other to capture semantic interactions
among abstractions at different levels of granularity
in a scalable manner.\par
We describe our approach in the context of Java and
demonstrate its utility to improve {\em regression
analysis}. We first formalize a subset of Java and a
grammar for traces generated at program execution. We
then introduce several types of views used to analyze
regression bugs along with a novel, scalable technique
for semantic differencing of traces from different
versions of the same program. Benchmark results on
large open-source Java programs demonstrate that
semantic-aware trace differencing can identify precise
and useful details about the underlying cause for a
regression, even in programs that use reflection,
multithreading, or dynamic code generation, features
that typically confound other analysis techniques.",

increasing support for hardware parallelism in embedded
processors. Vector units, multiple processors/cores,
multithreading, special-purpose accelerators such as
DSPs or cryptographic engines, or a combination of the
above have appeared in a number of processors. They
serve to address the increasing performance
requirements of modern embedded applications. To what
extent the available hardware parallelism can be
exploited is directly dependent on the amount of
parallelism inherent in the given application and the
congruence between the granularity of hardware and
application parallelism. This paper discusses how
loop-level parallelism in embedded applications can be
exploited in hardware and software. Specifically, it
evaluates the efficacy of automatic loop
parallelization and the performance potential of
different types of parallelism, viz., true thread-level
parallelism (TLP), speculative thread-level parallelism
and vector parallelism, when executing loops.
Additionally, it discusses the interaction between
parallelization and vectorization. Applications from
both the industry-standard EEMBC{\reg},$^1$ 1.1, EEMBC
2.0 and the academic MiBench embedded benchmark suites
are analyzed using the Intel{\reg}$^2$ C compiler. The
results show the performance that can be achieved today
on real hardware and using a production compiler,
provide upper bounds on the performance potential of
the different types of thread-level parallelism, and
point out a number of issues that need to be addressed
to improve performance. The latter include
parallelization of libraries such as libc and design of
parallel algorithms to allow maximal exploitation of
parallelism. The results also point to the need for
developing new benchmark suites more suitable to
parallel compilation and execution.\par

abstract = "Industry has shifted towards multi-core designs as we
have hit the memory and power walls. However, single
thread performance remains of paramount importance
since some applications have limited thread-level
parallelism (TLP), and even a small part with limited
TLP impose important constraints to the global
performance, as explained by Amdahl's law.\par
In this paper we propose a novel approach for
leveraging multiple cores to improve single-thread
performance in a multi-core design. The proposed
technique features a set of novel hardware mechanisms
that support the execution of threads generated at
compile time. These threads result from a fine-grain
speculative decomposition of the original application
and they are executed under a modified multi-core
system that includes: (1) mechanisms to support
multiple versions; (2) mechanisms to detect violations
among threads; (3) mechanisms to reconstruct the
original sequential order; and (4) mechanisms to

Past research has produced several dynamic data race
detectors that can be applied to large programs. They
are precise in the sense that they only report actual
data races. However, dynamic data race detectors incur
a high performance overhead, slowing down a program's
execution by an order of magnitude.\par
In this paper we present LiteRace, a very lightweight
data race detector that samples and analyzes only
selected portions of a program's execution. We show
that it is possible to sample a multithreaded program
at a low frequency, and yet, find infrequently
occurring data races. We implemented LiteRace using
Microsoft's Phoenix compiler. Our experiments with
several Microsoft programs, Apache, and Firefox show
that LiteRace is able to find more than 70\% of data
races by sampling less than 2\% of memory accesses in a

existing full-system simulator to identify and separate
the instruction streams belonging to the different
software threads. Then, the simulator dynamically maps
each instruction flow to the corresponding core of the
target multi-core architecture, taking into account the
inherent thread synchronization of the running
applications. Our simulator allows a user to execute
any multithreaded application in a conventional
full-system simulator and evaluate the performance of
the application on a many-core hardware. We carried out
extensive simulations on the SPLASH-2 benchmark suite
and demonstrated the scalability up to 1024 cores with
limited simulation speed degradation vs. the
single-core case on a fixed workload. The results also

programmer to specify a few program points (e.g., one
per thread) at which a patch may be applied, which
simplifies reasoning about safety. To improve
timeliness, a combination of static analysis and
run-time support automatically expands these few points
to many more that produce behavior equivalent to the

Unfortunately, most of the existing mainstream software

ways to alleviate the above limitation is to
parallelize programs, which cannot be

achieving high degree of thread-level parallelism ({\em

a post as early as possible and place a wait as late as

demonstrate the efficacy of our techniques, on a real

As a consequence, parallel applications are

This paper introduces Kendo: a new software-only system

interleaving of lock acquisitions and specially
declared non-protected reads through a novel
dynamically load-balanced deterministic scheduling
algorithm. The algorithm tracks the progress of each
thread using performance counters to construct a
deterministic logical time that is used to compute an
interleaving of shared data accesses that is both
deterministic and provides good load balancing. Kendo
can run on today's commodity hardware while incurring
only a modest performance cost. Experimental results on
the SPLASH-2 applications yield a geometric mean
overhead of only 16\% when running on 4 processors.
This low overhead makes it possible to benefit from
Kendo even after an application is deployed.
Programmers can start using Kendo today to program

imposed by early design decisions. We propose a
philosophy of abstraction and separation of concerns

domain. The first abstraction, FLASH, allows algorithms
to express computation with matrices consisting of
contiguous blocks, facilitating algorithms-by-blocks.
Operand descriptions are registered for a particular
operation a priori by the library implementor. A
runtime system, SuperMatrix, uses this information to
identify data dependencies between suboperations,
allowing them to be scheduled to threads out-of-order

algorithms in linear algebra lend themselves to
conversion to algorithms-by-blocks. We show how our
recently proposed LU factorization with incremental
pivoting and a closely related algorithm-by-blocks for
the QR factorization, both originally designed for
out-of-core computation, overcome this difficulty.
Anecdotal evidence regarding the development of

allows programs to detect and even tolerate asymmetric
data races. Asymmetric races are race conditions where
one thread correctly acquires and releases a lock for a
shared variable while another thread improperly

approximate isolation in the critical sections of
lock-based parallel programs by creating a local copy
of each shared variable when entering a critical
section, operating on the local copies, and propagating
the appropriate copies upon leaving the critical
section. We start by characterizing all possible
interleavings that can cause races and precisely
describe the effect of ToleRace in each case. Then, we
study the theoretical aspects of an oracle that knows
exactly what type of interleaving has occurred.
Finally, we present two software implementations of
ToleRace and evaluate them on multithreaded
applications from the SPLASH2 and PARSEC suites. Our
implementation on top of a dynamic instrumentation
tool, which works directly on executables and requires
no source code modifications, incurs an overhead of a

promising model for writing programs with powerful,

that run on commodity hardware can be broadly
categorized into two types: language-level and
operating system-level DIFC. Language level solutions
provide no guarantees against security violations on
system resources, like files and sockets. Operating
system solutions can mediate accesses to system
resources, but are inefficient at monitoring the flow
of information through fine-grained program data
structures.\par
This paper describes Laminar, the first system to
implement decentralized information flow control using
a single set of abstractions for OS resources and
heap-allocated objects. Programmers express security
policies by labeling data with secrecy and integrity
labels, and then access the labeled data in lexically
scoped security regions. Laminar enforces the security
policies specified by the labels at runtime. Laminar is
implemented using a modified Java virtual machine and a
new Linux security module. This paper shows that
security regions ease incremental deployment and limit
dynamic security checks, allowing us to retrofit DIFC
policies on four application case studies. Replacing
the applications' ad-hoc security policies changes less
than 10\% of the code, and incurs performance overheads
from 1\% to 56\%. Whereas prior DIFC systems only
support limited types of multithreaded programs,
Laminar supports a more general class of multithreaded

of (unanticipated) faults. When a fault occurs at an
arbitrary location in the program, ASSURE restores
execution to an appropriate rescue point and induces
the program to recover execution by virtualizing the
program's existing error-handling facilities. Rescue
points are identified using fuzzing, implemented using
a fast coordinated checkpoint-restart mechanism that
handles multi-process and multi-threaded applications,
and, after testing, are injected into production code
using binary patching. We have implemented an ASSURE
Linux prototype that operates without application
source code and without base operating system kernel
changes. Our experimental results on a set of
real-world server applications and bugs show that
ASSURE enabled recovery for all of the bugs tested with
fast recovery times, has modest performance overhead,
and provides automatic self-healing orders of magnitude
faster than current human-driven patch deployment
methods.",

abstract = "Data prefetching has been widely used in the past as a
technique for hiding memory access latencies. However,
data prefetching in multi-threaded applications running
on chip multiprocessors (CMPs) can be problematic when
multiple cores compete for a shared on-chip cache (L2
or L3). In this paper, we (i) quantify the impact of
conventional data prefetching on shared caches in CMPs.
The experimental data collected using multi-threaded
applications indicates that, while data prefetching
improves performance in small number of cores, its
benefits reduce significantly as the number of cores is
increased, that is, it is not scalable; (ii) identify
harmful prefetches as one of the main contributors for
degraded performance with a large number of cores; and
(iii) propose and evaluate a compiler-directed data
prefetching scheme for shared on-chip cache based CMPs.
The proposed scheme first identifies program phases
using static compiler analysis, and then divides the
threads into groups within each phase and assigns a
customized prefetcher thread (helper thread) to each
group of threads. This helps to reduce the total number
of prefetches issued, prefetch overheads, and negative
interactions on the shared cache space due to data
prefetches, and more importantly, makes
compiler-directed prefetching a scalable optimization
for CMPs. Our experiments with the applications from
the SPEC OMP benchmark suite indicate that the proposed
scheme improves overall parallel execution latency by
18.3\% over the no-prefetch case and 6.4\% over the
conventional data prefetching scheme (where each core
prefetches its data independently), on average, when 12
cores are used. The corresponding average performance
improvements with 24 cores are 16.4\% (over the
no-prefetch case) and 11.7\% (over the conventional
prefetching case). We also demonstrate that the
proposed scheme is robust under a wide range of values
of our major simulation parameters, and the
improvements it achieves come very close to those that
can be achieved using an optimal scheme.",

This paper proposes Accelerated Critical Sections
(ACS), a technique that leverages the high-performance
core(s) of an Asymmetric Chip Multiprocessor (ACMP) to
accelerate the execution of critical sections. In ACS,
selected critical sections are executed by a
high-performance core, which can execute the critical
section faster than the other, smaller cores. As a
result, ACS reduces serialization: it lowers the
likelihood of threads waiting for a critical section to
finish. Our evaluation on a set of 12
critical-section-intensive workloads shows that ACS
reduces the average execution time by 34\% compared to
an equal-area 32T-core symmetric CMP and by 23\%

increasing the number of threads at which performance

abstract = "Understanding why the performance of a multithreaded
program does not improve linearly with the number of
cores in a shared-memory node populated with one or
more multicore processors is a problem of growing
practical importance. This paper makes three
contributions to performance analysis of multithreaded
programs. First, we describe how to measure and
attribute {\em parallel idleness}, namely, where
threads are stalled and unable to work. This technique
applies broadly to programming models ranging from
explicit threading ({\em e.g.}, Pthreads) to
higher-level models such as Cilk and OpenMP. Second, we
describe how to measure and attribute {\em parallel
overhead\/} -- when a thread is performing
miscellaneous work other than executing the user's
computation. By employing a combination of compiler
support and post-mortem analysis, we incur no
measurement cost beyond normal profiling to glean this
information. Using {\em idleness\/} and {\em
overhead\/} metrics enables one to pinpoint areas of an
application where concurrency should be increased (to
reduce idleness), decreased (to reduce overhead), or
where the present parallelization is hopeless (where
idleness and overhead are both high). Third, we
describe how to measure and attribute arbitrary
performance metrics for high-level multithreaded
programming models, such as Cilk. This requires
bridging the gap between the expression of logical
concurrency in programs and its realization at run-time
as it is adaptively partitioned and scheduled onto a
pool of threads. We have prototyped these ideas in the
context of Rice University's HPCToolkit performance
tools. We describe our approach, implementation, and
experiences applying this approach to measure and
attribute work, idleness, and overhead in executions of
Cilk programs.",

abstract = "Soft errors are an important challenge in contemporary
microprocessors. Modern processors have caches and
large memory arrays protected by parity or error
detection and correction codes. However, today's
failure rate is dominated by flip flops, latches, and
the increasing sensitivity of combinational logic to
particle strikes. Moreover, as Chip Multi-Processors
(CMPs) become ubiquitous, meeting the FIT budget for
new designs is becoming a major
challenge.\par
Solutions based on replicating threads have been
explored deeply; however, their high cost in
performance and energy make them unsuitable for current
designs. Moreover, our studies based on a typical
configuration for a modern processor show that focusing
on the top 5 most vulnerable structures can provide up
to 70\% reduction in FIT rate. Therefore, full
replication may overprotect the chip by reducing the
FIT much below budget.\par
We propose {\em Selective Replication}, a
lightweight-reconfigurable mechanism that achieves a
high FIT reduction by protecting the most vulnerable
instructions with minimal performance and energy
impact. Low performance degradation is achieved by not
requiring additional issue slots and reissuing
instructions only during the time window between when
they are retirable and they actually retire. Coverage
can be reconfigured online by replicating only a subset
of the instructions (the most vulnerable ones).
Instructions' vulnerability is estimated based on the
area they occupy and the time they spend in the issue
queue. By changing the vulnerability threshold, we can
adjust the trade-off between coverage and performance
loss.\par
Results for an out-of-order processor configured
similarly to Intel{\reg} Core\TM{} Micro-Architecture
show that our scheme can achieve over 65\% FIT
reduction with less than 4\% performance degradation
with small area and complexity overhead.",

program instrumentation. At run time, the control logic
avoids deadlocks by postponing lock acquisitions.
Discrete Control Theory guarantees that the program
instrumented with our synthesized control logic cannot
deadlock. Our method furthermore guarantees that the
control logic is maximally permissive: it postpones
lock acquisitions only when necessary to prevent
deadlocks, and therefore permits maximal runtime
concurrency. Our prototype for C/Pthreads scales to
real software including Apache, OpenLDAP, and two kinds
of benchmarks, automatically avoiding both injected and
naturally occurring deadlocks while imposing modest

more difficult than single-threaded programming. The
main source of complexity is that, the threads of an
application can interleave in so many different ways.
To ensure correctness, a programmer has to test all
possible thread interleavings, which, however, is
impractical.\par
Many rare thread interleavings remain untested in
production systems, and they are the root cause for a
majority of concurrency bugs. We propose a
shared-memory multi-processor design that avoids
untested interleavings to improve the correctness of a
multi-threaded program. Since untested interleavings
tend to occur infrequently at runtime, the performance
cost of avoiding them is not high.\par
We propose to encode the set of tested correct
interleavings in a program's binary executable using
{\em Predecessor Set (PSet)\/} constraints. These
constraints are efficiently enforced at runtime using
processor support, which ensures that the runtime
follows a tested interleaving. We analyze several bugs
in open source applications such as MySQL, Apache,
Mozilla, etc., and show that, by enforcing PSet
constraints, we can avoid not only data races and
atomicity violations, but also other forms of
concurrency bugs.",

HELPER runtime system can execute fork-join
computations augmented with helper locks and parallel

parallel regions. We provide theoretical
completion-time and space-usage bounds for a design of
HELPER based on work stealing. Specifically, let {\em

computation, let {\em T\/}$_1$ be its work, and let
{\em T\/} $ \infty $ be its 'aggregate span' --- the

sum, over all regions, of the stack space used by each

code neither intentionally nor accidentally propagates
sensitive information to an adversary. Although mobile
code is commonly multithreaded low-level code, there
lack enforcement mechanisms that ensure information

three-fold: we give modular extensions of sequential
semantics, sequential security typing, and sequential

enforcing security for multithreaded programs. Thanks
to the modularity, there are no more restrictions on

abstract = "The behavior of a multithreaded program does not
depend only on its inputs. Scheduling, memory
reordering, timing, and low-level hardware effects all
introduce nondeterminism in the execution of
multithreaded programs. This severely complicates many
tasks, including debugging, testing, and automatic
replication. In this work, we avoid these complications
by eliminating their root cause: we develop a compiler
and runtime system that runs arbitrary multithreaded
C/C++ POSIX Threads programs deterministically.\par
A trivial nonperformant approach to providing
determinism is simply deterministically serializing
execution. Instead, we present a compiler and runtime
infrastructure that ensures determinism but resorts to
serialization rarely, for handling interthread
communication and synchronization. We develop two basic
approaches, both of which are largely dynamic with
performance improved by some static compiler
optimizations. First, an ownership-based approach
detects interthread communication via an evolving table
that tracks ownership of memory regions by threads.
Second, a buffering approach uses versioned memory and
employs a deterministic commit protocol to make changes
visible to other threads. While buffering has larger
single-threaded overhead than ownership, it tends to
scale better (serializing less often). A hybrid system
sometimes performs and scales better than either
approach individually.\par
Our implementation is based on the LLVM compiler
infrastructure. It needs neither programmer annotations
nor special hardware. Our empirical evaluation uses the
PARSEC and SPLASH2 benchmarks and shows that our
approach scales comparably to nondeterministic
execution.",

abstract = "We present a performance model-driven framework for
automated performance tuning (autotuning) of sparse
matrix-vector multiply (SpMV) on systems accelerated by
graphics processing units (GPU). Our study consists of
two parts.\par
First, we describe several carefully hand-tuned SpMV
implementations for GPUs, identifying key GPU-specific
performance limitations, enhancements, and tuning
opportunities. These implementations, which include
variants on classical blocked compressed sparse row
(BCSR) and blocked ELLPACK (BELLPACK) storage formats,
match or exceed state-of-the-art implementations. For
instance, our best BELLPACK implementation achieves up
to 29.0 Gflop/s in single-precision and 15.7 Gflop/s in
double-precision on the NVIDIA T10P multiprocessor
(C1060), enhancing prior state-of-the-art unblocked
implementations (Bell and Garland, 2009) by up to
1.8\times and 1.5\times for single-and double-precision
respectively.\par
However, achieving this level of performance requires
input matrix-dependent parameter tuning. Thus, in the
second part of this study, we develop a performance
model that can guide tuning. Like prior autotuning
models for CPUs (e.g., Im, Yelick, and Vuduc, 2004),
this model requires offline measurements and run-time
estimation, but more directly models the structure of
multithreaded vector processors like GPUs. We show that
our model can identify the implementations that achieve
within 15\% of those found through exhaustive search.",

providers are investing in concurrency libraries to
improve programmer productivity. Concurrency libraries
improve productivity by hiding error-prone, low-level

failures often manifest only under particular
scheduling circumstances. Current best testing
practices are often inadequate: heuristic-guided
fuzzing is not systematic, systematic schedule
enumeration does not find bugs quickly, and stress
testing is neither systematic nor fast.\par
To address these shortcomings, we propose a prioritized
search technique called GAMBIT that combines the speed
benefits of heuristic-guided fuzzing with the
soundness, progress, and reproducibility guarantees of
stateless model checking. GAMBIT combines known
techniques such as partial-order reduction and
preemption-bounding with a generalized best-first
search frame- work that prioritizes schedules likely to
expose bugs. We evaluate GAMBIT's effectiveness on
newly released concurrency libraries for Microsoft's
.NET framework. Our experiments show that GAMBIT finds
bugs more quickly than prior stateless model checking
techniques without compromising coverage guarantees or

multithreading (SMT) processor performance by
co-scheduling jobs that have `compatible' demands on
the processor's shared resources. Existing approaches
however require a sampling phase, evaluate a limited
number of possible co-schedules, use heuristics to
gauge symbiosis, are rigid in their optimization
target, and do not preserve system-level
priorities/shares.\par
This paper proposes probabilistic job symbiosis
modeling, which predicts whether jobs will create
positive or negative symbiosis when co-scheduled
without requiring the co-schedule to be evaluated. The
model, which uses per-thread cycle stacks computed
through a previously proposed cycle accounting
architecture, is simple enough to be used in system
software. Probabilistic job symbiosis modeling provides
six key innovations over prior work in symbiotic job
scheduling: (i) it does not require a sampling phase,
(ii) it readjusts the job co-schedule continuously,
(iii) it evaluates a large number of possible
co-schedules at very low overhead, (iv) it is not
driven by heuristics, (v) it can optimize a performance
target of interest (e.g., system throughput or job
turnaround time), and (vi) it preserves system-level
priorities/shares. These innovations make symbiotic job
scheduling both practical and effective.\par
Our experimental evaluation, which assumes a realistic
scenario in which jobs come and go, reports an average
16\% (and up to 35\%) reduction in job turnaround time
compared to the previously proposed SOS (sample,
optimize, symbios) approach for a two-thread SMT
processor, and an average 19\% (and up to 45\%)

conditions, a problem exacerbated by the widespread
adoption of multi-core processors with complex memory

has focused on static and dynamic analyses for race
detection, but these algorithms typically are unable to
distinguish destructive races that cause erroneous
behavior from benign races that do not. Performing this
classification manually is difficult, time consuming,
and error prone.\par
This paper presents a new dynamic analysis technique
that uses {\em adversarial memory\/} to classify race
conditions as destructive or benign on systems with
relaxed memory models. Unlike a typical language
implementation, which may only infrequently exhibit
non-sequentially consistent behavior, our adversarial
memory implementation exploits the full freedom of the
memory model to return older, unexpected, or stale
values for memory reads whenever possible, in an
attempt to crash the target program (that is, to force
the program to behave erroneously). A crashing
execution provides concrete evidence of a destructive
bug, and this bug can be strongly correlated with a
specific race condition in the target
program.\par
Experimental results with our Jumble prototype for Java
demonstrate that adversarial memory is highly effective
at identifying destructive race conditions, and in
distinguishing them from race conditions that are real
but benign. Adversarial memory can also reveal
destructive races that would not be detected by
traditional testing (even after thousands of runs) or
by model checkers that assume sequential consistency.",

Future CMPs must deliver thread-level parallelism when
software provides threads to run, but must also
continue to deliver performance gains for single
threads by exploiting instruction-level parallelism and
memory-level parallelism. However, power limitations
will prevent conventional cores from exploiting both
simultaneously.\par
This work presents the Forwardflow Architecture, which
can scale its execution logic up to run single threads,
or down to run multiple threads in a CMP. Forwardflow
dynamically builds an explicit internal dataflow
representation from a conventional instruction set
architecture, using forward dependence pointers to
guide instruction wakeup, selection, and issue.
Forwardflow's backend is organized into discrete units
that can be individually (de-)activated, allowing each
core's performance to be scaled by system software at
the architectural level.\par
On single threads, Forwardflow core scaling yields a
mean runtime reduction of 21\% for a 37\% increase in
power consumption. For multithreaded workloads, a
Forwardflow-based CMP allows system software to select
the performance point that best matches available
power.",

ordering, requiring that loads from any single thread
appear to occur in program order to all other threads.
Out-of-order execution can violate load-load ordering.
Conventional multi-processors with out-of-order cores
detect load-load ordering violations by snooping an
age-ordered load queue on cache invalidations or
evictions-events that act as proxies for the completion
of remote stores. This mechanism becomes less efficient
in an SMT processor, as every completing store must
search the loads queue segments of all other threads.
This inefficiency exists because store completions from
other threads in the same core are not filtered by the
cache and coherence protocol: thread 0 observes all of
thread 1's stores, not only the first store to every
cache line. SMT-Directory eliminates this overhead by
implementing the filtering traditionally provided by
the cache in the cache itself. SMT-Directory adds a
per-thread ``{read''} bit to every data cache line.
When a load executes, it sets the bit corresponding to
its thread. When a store completes and write to the
cache, it checks the SMT-Directory bits of its cache
line and searches the load queue segments only of those
threads whose bits are set. As a result, local store
completions trigger searches only for data that is
actually shared.",

virtualization and consolidation take advantage of
multiple cores in CMP architectures, the impact of

increasingly important. Various QoS schemes for
resource management have been recently proposed, but
most of these prior efforts have been focused on
controlling individual resource allocation based on
priority information passed down from the OS or
Hypervisor to system resources. The complexity of this
approach increases when multiple levels of resources
are associated with an application's performance and
power consumption. In this paper we employ simpler
rate-based QoS mechanisms which control the execution
rate of competing applications. To enable
differentiation between simultaneously running
applications' performance and power consumption, these
rate mechanisms need to dynamically adjust the
execution of application. Our proposed PI-RATE
architecture introduces a control-theoretic approach to
dynamically adjust the execution rate of each
application based on the QoS target and monitored
resource utilization. We evaluate three modes of
PI-RATE architecture --- cache QoS targets, performance
QoS targets and power QoS targets --- to show that the

replaying shared memory multiprocessor systems at low

problem. This paper presents Respec, a new way to
support deterministic replay of shared memory
multithreaded programs on commodity multiprocessor
hardware. Respec targets online replay in which the
recorded and replayed processes execute
concurrently.\par
Respec uses two strategies to reduce overhead while
still ensuring correctness: speculative logging and
externally deterministic replay. Speculative logging
optimistically logs less information about shared

deterministic replay, then recovers and retries if the
replayed process diverges from the recorded process.
Externally deterministic replay relaxes the degree to
which the two executions must match by requiring only
their system output and final program states match. We
show that the combination of these two techniques
results in low recording and replay overhead for the
common case of data-race-free execution intervals and
still ensures correct replay for execution intervals
that have data races.\par

language construct to improve the programmability of
concurrent software. They simplify programming by not
requiring the explicit specification of locks for
shared data. Typically atomic sections are supported in
software either through the use of optimistic
concurrency by using transactional memory or through
the use of pessimistic concurrency using
compiler-assigned locks. As a software transactional
memory (STM) system does not take advantage of the
specific memory access patterns of an application it
often suffers from false conflicts and high validation
overheads. On the other hand, the compiler usually ends
up assigning coarse grain locks as it relies on whole
program points-to analysis which is conservative by
nature. This adversely affects performance by limiting
concurrency. In order to mitigate the disadvantages
associated with STM's lock assignment scheme, we
propose a hybrid approach which combines STM's lock
assignment with a compiler aided selective lock
assignment scheme (referred to as SCLA-STM). SCLA-STM
overcomes the inefficiencies associated with a purely
compile-time lock assignment approach by (i) using the
underlying STM for shared variables where only a
conservative analysis is possible by the compiler
(e.g., in the presence of may-alias points to
information) and (ii) being selective about the shared
data chosen for the compiler-aided lock assignment. We
describe our prototype SCLA-STM scheme implemented in
the HP-UX IA-64 C/C++ compiler, using TL2 as our STM
implementation. We show that SCLA-STM improves

proposed C++0x memory model, guarantee SC execution for
datarace-free programs. But these models provide no
guarantee at all for racy programs, compromising the
safety and debuggability of such programs. To address
the safety issue, the Java memory model, which is also
based on the DRF model, provides a weak semantics for
racy executions. However, this semantics is subtle and
complex, making it difficult for programmers to reason
about their programs and for compiler writers to ensure
the correctness of compiler optimizations.\par
We present the DRFx memory model, which is simple for
programmers to understand and use while still
supporting many common optimizations. We introduce a
{\em memory model (MM) exception\/} which can be
signaled to halt execution. If a program executes
without throwing this exception, then DRFx guarantees
that the execution is SC. If a program throws an MM
exception during an execution, then DRFx guarantees
that the program has a data race. We observe that SC
violations can be detected in hardware through a
lightweight form of conflict detection. Furthermore,
our model safely allows aggressive compiler and

(www.spiral.net) to generate code for modular Fast
Fourier Transforms (FFTs). SPIRAL is a library
generation system that automatically generates
platform-tuned implementations of digital signal
processing algorithms with an emphasis on fast
transforms. Currently, SPRIAL can generate highly
optimized fixed point and floating-point FFTs for a
variety of platforms including vectorization,
multi-threaded and distributed memory parallelization.
The code produced is competitive with the best
available code for these platforms and SPIRAL is used
by Intel for its IPP (Intel Performance Primitives) and
MKL (Math kernel Library) libraries.\par
The SPIRAL system uses a mathematical framework for
representing and deriving algorithms. Algorithms are
derived using rewrite rules and additional rules are
used to symbolically manipulate algorithms into forms
that take advantage of the underlying hardware. A
search engine with a feedback loop is used to tune
implementations to particular platforms. New transforms
are added by introducing new symbols and their
definition and new algorithms can be generated by
adding new rules.\par
We extended SPIRAL to generate algorithms for FFT
computation over finite fields. This addition required
adding a new data type, several new rules and a new
transform (ModDFT) definition. In addition, the
unparser (where code is generated) was extended so that
it can generate scalar and vectorized code for modular
arithmetic. With these enhancements, the SPRIAL
machinery can be applied to modular transforms that are
of interest to the computer algebra community. This
provides a framework for systematically optimizing
these transforms, utilizing vector and parallel
computation, and for automatically tuning them to
different platforms. In this poster we present
preliminary results from this exploration. We show that
the code generated by SPIRAL, with improved cache
locality and vectorization, is approximately ten times
faster than the modular FFT code in the modpn
library.",

fetch, decode, and issue logic across multiple
processing units in order to maximize throughput for a
given area and power budget. However, throughput is
reduced when a set of threads operating in lockstep (a
warp) are stalled due to long latency memory accesses.
The resulting idle cycles are extremely costly.
Multi-threading can hide latencies by interleaving the
execution of multiple warps, but deep multi-threading
using many warps dramatically increases the cost of the
register files (multi-threading depth $ \times $ SIMD
width), and cache contention can make performance
worse. Instead, intra-warp latency hiding should first
be exploited. This allows threads that are ready but
stalled by SIMD restrictions to use these idle cycles
and reduces the need for multi-threading among warps.
This paper introduces {\em dynamic warp subdivision\/}
(DWS), which allows a single warp to occupy more than
one slot in the scheduler without requiring extra
register file space. Independent scheduling entities
allow divergent branch paths to interleave their
execution, and allow threads that hit to run ahead. The
result is improved latency hiding and memory level
parallelism (MLP). We evaluate the technique on a
coherent cache hierarchy with private L1 caches and a
shared L2 cache. With an area overhead of less than
1\%, experiments with eight data-parallel benchmarks

abstract = "It is not uncommon in parallel workloads to encounter
shared data structures with read-mostly access
patterns, where operations that update data are
infrequent and most operations are read-only.
Typically, data consistency is guaranteed using mutual
exclusion or read-write locks. The cost of atomic
update of lock variables result in high overheads and
high cache coherence traffic under active sharing, thus
slowing down single thread performance and limiting
scalability.\par
In this paper, we present {\em SOLERO (Software
Optimistic Lock Elision for Read-Only critical
sections)}, a new lock implementation called for
optimizing read-only critical sections in Java based on
sequential locks. SOLERO is compatible with the
conventional lock implementation of Java. However,
unlike the conventional implementation, only critical
sections that may write data or have side effects need
to update lock variables, while read-only critical
sections need only read lock variables without writing
them. Each writing critical section changes the lock
value to a new value. Hence, a read-only critical
section is guaranteed to be consistent if the lock is
free and its value does not change from the beginning
to the end of the read-only critical section.\par
Using Java workloads including SPECjbb2005 and the
HashMap and TreeMap Java classes, we evaluate the
performance impact of applying SOLERO to read-mostly
locks. Our experimental results show performance
improvements across the board, often substantial, in
both single thread speed and scalability over the
conventional lock implementation (mutual exclusion) and
read-write locks. SOLERO improves the performance of
SPECjbb2005 by 3-5\% on single and multiple threads.
The results using the HashMap and TreeMap benchmarks
show that SOLERO outperforms the conventional lock
implementation and read-write locks by substantial
multiples on multi-threads.",

abstract = "In processors with several levels of hardware resource
sharing,like CMPs in which each core is an SMT, the
scheduling process becomes more complex than in
processors with a single level of resource sharing,
such as pure-SMT or pure-CMP processors. Once the
operating system selects the set of applications to
simultaneously schedule on the processor (workload),
each application/thread must be assigned to one of the
hardware contexts(strands). We call this last
scheduling step the Thread to Strand Binding or TSB. In
this paper, we show that the TSB impact on the
performance of processors with several levels of shared
resources is high. We measure a variation of up to 59\%
between different TSBs of real multithreaded network
applications running on the UltraSPARC T2 processor
which has three levels of resource sharing. In our
view, this problem is going to be more acute in future
multithreaded architectures comprising more cores, more
contexts per core, and more levels of resource
sharing.\par
We propose a resource-sharing aware TSB algorithm
(TSBSched) that significantly facilitates the problem
of thread to strand binding for software-pipelined
applications, representative of multithreaded network
applications. Our systematic approach encapsulates
both, the characteristics of multithreaded processors
under the study and the structure of the software
pipelined applications. Once calibrated for a given
processor architecture, our proposal does not require
hardware knowledge on the side of the programmer, nor
extensive profiling of the application. We validate our
algorithm on the UltraSPARC T2 processor running a set
of real multithreaded network applications on which we
report improvements of up to 46\% compared to the
current state-of-the-art dynamic schedulers.",

Recently-proposed code parallelization techniques, such

demonstrate scalable performance on multiple cores by
using speculation to divide code into atomic units

network design for CMPs with up to 128 fine-grain
multithreaded cores. We evaluate and compare different
network topologies using accurate simulation of the
full chip, including the memory hierarchy and
interconnect, and using a diverse set of scientific and
engineering workloads.\par
We find that the interconnect has a large impact on
performance, as it is responsible for 60\% to 75\% of
the miss latency. Latency, and not bandwidth, is the
primary performance constraint, since, even with many
threads per core and workloads with high miss rates,
networks with enough bandwidth can be efficiently
implemented for the system scales we consider. From the
topologies we study, the flattened butterfly
consistently outperforms the mesh and fat tree on all
workloads, leading to performance advantages of up to
22\%. We also show that considering interconnect and
memory hierarchy together when designing large-scale
CMPs is crucial, and neglecting either of the two can
lead to incorrect conclusions. Finally, the effect of
the interconnect on overall performance becomes more
important as the number of cores increases, making

abstract = "This paper introduces the language-independent concept
of ``thread usage policy.'' Many multi-threaded
software systems contain policies that regulate
associations among threads, executable code, and
potentially shared state. A system, for example, may
constrain which threads are permitted to execute
particular code segments, usually as a means to
constrain those threads from accessing or writing
particular elements of state. These policies ensure
properties such as state confinement or reader/writer
constraints, often without recourse to locking or
transaction discipline.\par
Our approach allows developers to concisely document
their thread usage policies in a manner that enables
the use of sound scalable analysis to assess
consistency of policy and as-written code. This paper
identifies the key semantic concepts of our thread
coloring language and illustrates how to use its
succinct source-level annotations to express models of
thread usage policies, following established annotation
conventions for Java.\par
We have built a prototype static analysis tool,
implemented as an integrated development environment
plug-in (for the Eclipse IDE), that notifies developers
of discrepancies between policy annotations and
as-written code. Our analysis technique uses several
underlying algorithms based on abstract interpretation,
call-graphs, and type inference. The resulting overall
analysis is both sound and composable. We have used
this prototype analysis tool in case studies to model
and analyze more than a million lines of code.\par
Our validation process included field trials on a wide
variety of complex large-scale production code selected
by the host organizations. Our in-field experience led
us to focus on potential adoptability by real-world
developers. We have developed techniques that can
reduce annotation density to less than one line per
thousand lines of code (KLOC). In addition, the
prototype analysis tool supports an incremental and
iterative approach to modeling and analysis. This
approach enabled field trial partners to directly
target areas of greatest concern and to achieve useful
results within a few hours.",

abstract = "With the availability of chip multiprocessor (CMP) and
simultaneous multithreading (SMT) machines, extracting
thread level parallelism from a sequential program has
become crucial for improving performance. However, many
sequential programs cannot be easily parallelized due
to the presence of dependences. To solve this problem,
different solutions have been proposed. Some of them
make the optimistic assumption that such dependences
rarely manifest themselves at runtime. However, when
this assumption is violated, the recovery causes very
large overhead. Other approaches incur large
synchronization or computation overhead when resolving
the dependences. Consequently, for a loop with
frequently arising cross-iteration dependences,
previous techniques are not able to speed up the
execution. In this paper we propose a compiler
technique which uses state separation and multiple
value prediction to speculatively parallelize loops in
sequential programs that contain frequently arising
cross-iteration dependences. The key idea is to
generate multiple versions of a loop iteration based on
multiple predictions of values of variables involved in
cross-iteration dependences (i.e., live-in variables).
These speculative versions and the preceding loop
iteration are executed in separate memory states
simultaneously. After the execution, if one of these
versions is correct (i.e., its predicted values are
found to be correct), then we merge its state and the
state of the preceding iteration because the dependence
between the two iterations is correctly resolved. The
memory states of other incorrect versions are
completely discarded. Based on this idea, we further
propose a runtime adaptive scheme that not only gives a
good performance but also achieves better CPU
utilization. We conducted experiments on 10 benchmark
programs on a real machine. The results show that our
technique can achieve 1.7x speedup on average across
all used benchmarks.",

complexity, which stems from the need to strike a
balance between ease-of-programming and allowing
compiler and hardware optimizations. In this paper, we
present an automated tool, MemSAT, that helps in
debugging and reasoning about memory models. Given an
axiomatic specification of a memory model and a
multi-threaded test program containing assertions,
MemSAT outputs a trace of the program in which both the
assertions and the memory model axioms are satisfied,
if one can be found. The tool is fully automatic and is
based on a SAT solver. If it cannot find a trace, it
outputs a minimal subset of the memory model and
program constraints that are unsatisfiable. We used
MemSAT to check several existing memory models against
their published test cases, including the current Java
Memory Model by Manson et al. and a revised version of
it by Sevcik and Aspinall. We found subtle
discrepancies between what was expected and the actual
results of test programs.",

abstract = "{\em Instruction-grain lifeguards\/} monitor the
events of a running application at the level of
individual instructions in order to identify and help
mitigate application bugs and security exploits.
Because such lifeguards impose a 10-100X slowdown on
existing platforms, previous studies have proposed
hardware designs to accelerate lifeguard processing.
However, these accelerators are either tailored to a
specific class of lifeguards or suitable only for
monitoring single-threaded programs.\par
We present ParaLog, the first design of a system
enabling fast online parallel monitoring of
multithreaded parallel applications. ParaLog supports a
broad class of software-defined lifeguards. We show how
three existing accelerators can be enhanced to support
online multithreaded monitoring, dramatically reducing
lifeguard overheads. We identify and solve several
challenges in monitoring parallel applications and/or
parallelizing these accelerators, including (i)
enforcing inter-thread data dependences, (ii) dealing
with inter-thread effects that are not reflected in
coherence traffic, (iii) dealing with unmonitored
operating system activity, and (iv) ensuring lifeguards
can access shared metadata with negligible
synchronization overheads. We present our system design
for both Sequentially Consistent and Total Store
Ordering processors. We implement and evaluate our
design on a 16 core simulated CMP, using benchmarks
from SPLASH-2 and PARSEC and two lifeguards: a
data-flow tracking lifeguard and a memory-access
checker lifeguard. Our results show that (i) our
parallel accelerators improve performance by 2-9X and
1.13-3.4X for our two lifeguards, respectively, (ii) we
are 5-126X faster than the time-slicing approach
required by existing techniques, and (iii) our average
overheads for applications with eight threads are 51\%
and 28\% for the two lifeguards, respectively.",

abstract = "With the commercial development of multicore
processors, the challenges of writing multithreaded
programs to take advantage of these new hardware
architectures are becoming more and more pertinent.
Concurrent programming is necessary to achieve the
performance that the hardware offers. Traditional
approaches present concurrency as an {\em advanced\/}
topic: they have proven difficult to use, reason about
with confidence, and scale up to high levels of
concurrency. This article reviews {\em process-oriented
design}, based on Hoare's algebra of Communicating
Sequential Processes (CSP), and proposes that this
approach to concurrency leads to solutions that are
manageable by novice programmers; that is, they are
easy to design and maintain, that they are scalable for
complexity, {\em obviously correct}, and relatively
easy to verify using formal reasoning and/or model
checkers. These solutions can be developed in
conventional programming languages (through CSP
libraries) or specialized ones (such as occam-\pi) in a
manner that directly reflects their formal expression.
Systems can be developed without needing specialist
knowledge of the CSP formalism, since the supporting
mathematics is burnt into the tools and languages
supporting it. We illustrate these concepts with the
{\em Santa Claus problem}, which has been used as a
challenge for concurrency mechanisms since 1994. We
consider this problem as an example control system,
producing external signals reporting changes of
internal state (that model the external world). We
claim our occam-\pi solution is {\em
correct-by-design}, but follow this up with formal
verification (using the FDR model checker for CSP) that
the system is free from deadlock and livelock, that the
produced control signals obey crucial ordering
constraints, and that the system has key liveness
properties.",

abstract = "Most modern Chip Multiprocessors (CMP) feature shared
cache on chip. For multithreaded applications, the
sharing reduces communication latency among co-running
threads, but also results in cache contention.\par
A number of studies have examined the influence of
cache sharing on multithreaded applications, but most
of them have concentrated on the design or management
of shared cache, rather than a systematic measurement
of the influence. Consequently, prior measurements have
been constrained by the reliance on simulators, the use
of out-of-date benchmarks, and the limited coverage of
deciding factors. The influence of CMP cache sharing on
contemporary multithreaded applications remains
preliminarily understood.\par
In this work, we conduct a systematic measurement of
the influence on two kinds of commodity CMP machines,
using a recently released CMP benchmark suite, PARSEC,
with a number of potentially important factors on
program, OS, and architecture levels considered. The
measurement shows some surprising results. Contrary to
commonly perceived importance of cache sharing, neither
positive nor negative effects from the cache sharing
are significant for most of the program executions,
regardless of the types of parallelism, input datasets,
architectures, numbers of threads, and assignments of
threads to cores. After a detailed analysis, we find
that the main reason is the mismatch of current
development and compilation of multithreaded
applications and CMP architectures. By transforming the
programs in a cache-sharing-aware manner, we observe up
to 36\% performance increase when the threads are
placed on cores appropriately.",

single-threaded UNISIM SystemC engine to facilitate the
exploitation of inherent parallelism. An adaptive

abstract = "The most intuitive memory consistency model for
shared-memory multi-threaded programming is sequential
consistency (SC). However, current concurrent
programming languages support a relaxed model, as such
relaxations are deemed necessary for enabling important
optimizations. This paper demonstrates that an
SC-preserving compiler, one that ensures that every SC
behavior of a compiler-generated binary is an SC
behavior of the source program, retains most of the
performance benefits of an optimizing compiler. The key
observation is that a large class of optimizations
crucial for performance are either already
SC-preserving or can be modified to preserve SC while
retaining much of their effectiveness. An SC-preserving
compiler, obtained by restricting the optimization
phases in LLVM, a state-of-the-art C/C++ compiler,
incurs an average slowdown of 3.8\% and a maximum
slowdown of 34\% on a set of 30 programs from the
SPLASH-2, PARSEC, and SPEC CINT2006 benchmark
suites.\par
While the performance overhead of preserving SC in the
compiler is much less than previously assumed, it might
still be unacceptable for certain applications. We
believe there are several avenues for improving
performance without giving up SC-preservation. In this
vein, we observe that the overhead of our SC-preserving
compiler arises mainly from its inability to
aggressively perform a class of optimizations we
identify as eager-load optimizations. This class
includes common-subexpression elimination, constant
propagation, global value numbering, and common cases
of loop-invariant code motion. We propose a notion of
interference checks in order to enable eager-load
optimizations while preserving SC. Interference checks
expose to the compiler a commonly used hardware
speculation mechanism that can efficiently detect
whether a particular variable has changed its value
since last read.",

predicting on-chip cache hierarchy effectiveness in
chip multiprocessors (CMP) for a state-of-the-art
architecture. Given the complexity of this type of
systems, we use rough approximations, such as the
empirical observation that the re-reference timing
pattern follows a power law and the assumption of a
simplistic delay model for the cache, in order to
provide a useful model for the memory hierarchy
responsiveness. This model enables the analytical
determination of average access time, which makes
design space pruning useful before sweeping the vast
design space of this class of systems. The model is
also useful for predicting cache hierarchy behavior in
future systems. The fidelity of the model has been
validated using a state-of-the-art, full-system
simulation environment, on a system with up to sixteen
out-of-order processors with cache-coherent caches and
using a broad spectrum of applications, including
complex multithread workloads. This simple model can
predict a near-to-optimal, on-chip cache distribution
while also estimating how future systems running future
applications might behave.",

goals, each core is likely to contain ISA extensions
not yet implemented in the other core. Therefore, such
heterogeneous processors will have inherent functional
asymmetry at the ISA level and face significant
software challenges. This paper analyzes the software
challenges to the operating system and the application
layer software on a heterogeneous system with
functional asymmetry, where the ISA of the small and

It is well documented that multi-threading affects

especially troublesome for multi-programmed workloads.
Fairness metrics measure whether all threads are
affected equally. However defining equal treatment is
not straightforward. Several fairness metrics for
multi-threaded processors have been utilized in the
literature, although there does not seem to be a
consensus on what metric does the best job of measuring
fairness. This paper reviews the prevalent fairness
metrics and analyzes their main properties. Each metric
strikes a different trade-off between fairness in the

with respect to this property. Based on experimental

suboptimal performance and energy inefficiency can have
a significant impact on system-wide efficiency since
much of the system power dissipation is due to memory

recent proposals to enhance the energy efficiency of

compare two promising rank-subsetting proposals,
Multicore DIMM and mini-rank, and verify our analysis
by simulating a chip-multiprocessor system using
multithreaded and consolidated workloads. We extend the
design of Multicore DIMM for high-reliability systems
and show that compared with conventional chipkill

In this paper, we focus on improving the energy

Moreover, the trend towards better screens will
inevitably lead to a higher demand for improved
graphics rendering. We show that the main bottleneck
for these applications is the texture cache and that
traditional techniques for hiding memory latency

at a high energy cost. We thus propose the migration of
GPU designs towards the decoupled access-execute
concept. Furthermore, we significantly reduce bandwidth
usage in the decoupled architecture by exploiting
inter-core data sharing. Using commercial Android
applications, we show that the end design can achieve

abstract = "With the emergence of highly multithreaded
architectures, performance monitoring techniques face
new challenges in efficiently locating sources of
performance discrepancies in the program source code.
For example, the state-of-the-art performance counters
in highly multithreaded graphics processing units
(GPUs) report only the overall occurrences of
microarchitecture events at the end of program
execution. Furthermore, even if supported, any
fine-grained sampling of performance counters will
distort the actual program behavior and will make the
sampled values inaccurate. On the other hand, it is
difficult to achieve high resolution performance
information at low sampling rates in the presence of
thousands of concurrently running threads. In this
paper, we present a novel software-based approach for
monitoring the memory hierarchy performance in highly
multithreaded general-purpose graphics processors. The
proposed analysis is based on memory traces collected
for snapshots of an application execution. A
trace-based memory hierarchy model with a Monte Carlo
experimental methodology generates statistical bounds
of performance measures without being concerned about
the exact inter-thread ordering of individual events
but rather studying the behavior of the overall system.
The statistical approach overcomes the classical
problem of disturbed execution timing due to
fine-grained instrumentation. The approach scales well
as we deploy an efficient parallel trace collection
technique to reduce the trace generation overhead and a
simple memory hierarchy model to reduce the simulation
time. The proposed scheme also keeps track of
individual memory operations in the source code and can
quantify their efficiency with respect to the memory
system. A cross-validation of our results shows close
agreement with the values read from the hardware
performance counters on an NVIDIA Tesla C2050 GPU.
Based on the high resolution profile data produced by
our model we optimized memory accesses in the sparse
matrix vector multiply kernel and achieved speedups
ranging from 2.4 to 14.8 depending on the
characteristics of the input matrices.",

abstract = "In practice, it is quite difficult to write correct
multithreaded programs due to the potential for
unintended and nondeterministic interference between
parallel threads. A fundamental correctness property
for such programs is atomicity---a block of code in a
program is atomic if, for any parallel execution of the
program, there is an execution with the same overall
program behavior in which the block is executed
serially. We propose semantic atomicity, a
generalization of atomicity with respect to a
programmer-defined notion of equivalent behavior. We
propose an assertion framework in which a programmer
can use bridge predicates to specify noninterference
properties at the level of abstraction of their
application. Further, we propose a novel algorithm for
systematically testing atomicity specifications on
parallel executions with a bounded number of
interruptions---i.e. atomic blocks whose execution is
interleaved with that of other threads. We further
propose a set of sound heuristics and optional user
annotations that increase the efficiency of checking
atomicity specifications in the common case where the
specifications hold. We have implemented our assertion
framework for specifying and checking semantic
atomicity for parallel Java programs, and we have
written semantic atomicity specifications for a number
of benchmarks. We found that using bridge predicates
allowed us to specify the natural and intended atomic
behavior of a wider range of programs than did previous
approaches. Further, in checking our specifications, we
found several previously unknown bugs, including in the
widely-used java.util.concurrent library.",

firstly identifies the critical sections appearing on

such critical sections on the overall performance by
using quantitative performance metrics. Case studies

can limit the scalability of these applications. In
widely-used operating systems, all of these operations

page faults can both run in parallel with operations
that mutate the same address space and avoid contending
with other page faults on shared cache lines. To enable
such parallelism, this paper also introduces an
RCU-based binary balanced tree for storing memory
mappings. An experimental evaluation using three
multithreaded applications shows performance
improvements on 80 cores ranging from 1.7x to 3.4x for
an implementation of this design in the Linux 2.6.37

multithreaded programs that helps with catching bugs,
simplifying memory consistency model semantics, and

Unfortunately, existing software-only dynamic race
detectors are precise but slow; proposals with hardware
support offer higher performance but are imprecise.
Both precision and performance are necessary to achieve
the many advantages always-on dynamic race detection
could provide. To resolve this trade-off, we propose
Radish, a hybrid hardware-software dynamic race
detector that is always-on and fully precise. In
Radish, hardware caches a principled subset of the
metadata necessary for race detection; this subset
allows the vast majority of race checks to occur
completely in hardware. A flexible software layer
handles persistence of race detection metadata on cache
evictions and occasional queries to this expanded set
of metadata. We show that Radish is correct by proving
equivalence to a conventional happens-before race
detector. Our design has modest hardware complexity:
caches are completely unmodified and we piggy-back on
existing coherence messages but do not otherwise modify
the protocol. Furthermore, Radish can leverage
type-safe languages to reduce overheads substantially.
Our evaluation of a simulated 8-core Radish processor
using PARSEC benchmarks shows runtime overheads from
negligible to 2x, outperforming the leading
software-only race detector by 2x-37x.",

abstract = "Providing deterministic execution significantly
simplifies the debugging, testing, replication, and
deployment of multithreaded programs. Recent work has
developed deterministic multiprocessor architectures as
well as compiler and runtime systems that enforce
determinism in current hardware. Such work has
incidentally imposed strong memory-ordering properties.
Historically, memory ordering has been relaxed in favor
of higher performance in shared memory multiprocessors
and, interestingly, determinism exacerbates the cost of
strong memory ordering. Consequently, we argue that
relaxed memory ordering is vital to achieving faster
deterministic execution. This paper introduces RCDC, a
deterministic multiprocessor architecture that takes
advantage of relaxed memory orderings to provide
high-performance deterministic execution with low
hardware complexity. RCDC has two key innovations: a
hybrid HW/SW approach to enforcing determinism; and a
new deterministic execution strategy that leverages
data-race-free-based memory models (e.g., the models
for Java and C++) to improve performance and
scalability without sacrificing determinism, even in
the presence of races. In our hybrid HW/SW approach,
the only hardware mechanisms required are
software-controlled store buffering and support for
precise instruction counting; we do not require
speculation. A runtime system uses these mechanisms to
enforce determinism for arbitrary programs. We evaluate
RCDC using PARSEC benchmarks and show that relaxing
memory ordering leads to performance and scalability
close to nondeterministic execution without requiring
any form of speculation. We also compare our new
execution strategy to one based on TSO
(total-store-ordering) and show that some applications
benefit significantly from the extra relaxation. We
also evaluate a software-only implementation of our new
deterministic execution strategy.",

frustratingly difficult to track down and eliminate in
large object-oriented programs. Traditional approaches
to preventing data races rely on protecting instruction
sequences with synchronization operations. Such
control-centric approaches are inherently brittle, as
the burden is on the programmer to ensure that all
concurrently accessed memory locations are consistently
protected. Data-centric synchronization is an
alternative approach that offloads some of the work on
the language implementation. Data-centric
synchronization groups fields of objects into atomic
sets to indicate that these fields must always be
updated atomically. Each atomic set has associated
units of work, that is, code fragments that preserve
the consistency of that atomic set. Synchronization
operations are added automatically by the compiler. We
present an extension to the Java programming language
that integrates annotations for data-centric
concurrency control. The resulting language, called AJ,
relies on a type system that enables separate
compilation and supports atomic sets that span multiple
objects and that also supports full encapsulation for
more efficient code generation. We evaluate our
proposal by refactoring classes from standard
libraries, as well as a number of multithreaded
benchmarks, to use atomic sets. Our results suggest
that data-centric synchronization is easy to use and
enjoys low annotation overhead, while successfully
preventing data races. Moreover, experiments on the

(1) hardware vendors delivered chip multiprocessors

software developers increasingly chose managed

quantitative data reveals the extent of some known and
previously unobserved hardware and software trends. Two
themes emerge. (I) Workload: The power, performance,

approximate managed workloads. For example, (a) the
SPEC CPU2006 native benchmarks on the i7 (45) and i5
(32) draw significantly less power than managed or
scalable native benchmarks; and (b) managed runtimes
exploit parallelism even when running single-threaded
applications. The results recommend architects always
include native and managed workloads when designing and
evaluating energy efficient hardware. (II)
Architecture: Clock scaling, microarchitecture,
simultaneous multithreading, and chip multiprocessors
each elicit a huge variety of power, performance, and
energy responses. This variety and the difficulty of
obtaining power measurements recommends exposing
on-chip power meters and when possible structure

multithreading (SMT) processor performance by
coscheduling jobs that have ``compatible'' demands on
the processor's shared resources. Existing approaches
however require a sampling phase, evaluate a limited
number of possible coschedules, use heuristics to gauge
symbiosis, are rigid in their optimization target, and
do not preserve system-level priorities/shares. This
article proposes probabilistic job symbiosis modeling,
which predicts whether jobs will create positive or
negative symbiosis when coscheduled without requiring
the coschedule to be evaluated. The model, which uses
per-thread cycle stacks computed through a previously
proposed cycle accounting architecture, is simple
enough to be used in system software. Probabilistic job
symbiosis modeling provides six key innovations over
prior work in symbiotic job scheduling: (i) it does not
require a sampling phase, (ii) it readjusts the job
coschedule continuously, (iii) it evaluates a large
number of possible coschedules at very low overhead,
(iv) it is not driven by heuristics, (v) it can
optimize a performance target of interest (e.g., system
throughput or job turnaround time), and (vi) it
preserves system-level priorities/shares. These
innovations make symbiotic job scheduling both
practical and effective. Our experimental evaluation,
which assumes a realistic scenario in which jobs come
and go, reports an average 16\% (and up to 35\%)

thread-state properties of multithreaded programs in
which the number of active threads cannot be statically
bounded. Our approach is based on decomposing the task
into two modules, where one reasons about data and the
other reasons about control. The data module computes
thread-state invariants (e.g., linear constraints over
global variables and local variables of one thread)
using the thread interference information computed by
the control module. The control module computes a
representation of thread interference, as an
incrementally constructed data flow graph, using the
data invariants provided by the data module. These
invariants are used to rule out patterns of thread
interference that can not occur in a real program
execution. The two modules are incorporated into a
feedback loop, so that the abstractions of data and
interference are iteratively coarsened as the algorithm
progresses (that is, they become weaker) until a fixed
point is reached. Our approach is sound and
terminating, and applicable to programs with infinite
state (e.g., unbounded integers) and unboundedly many
threads. The verification method presented in this
paper has been implemented into a tool, called Duet. We
demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique by
verifying properties of a selection of Linux device
drivers using Duet, and also compare Duet with previous

programming models, such as OpenMP and CUDA, for
different portions of the machine. Both of these
factors make programming emerging heterogeneous
machines unnecessarily difficult. We describe the
design of the Phalanx programming model, which seeks to
provide a unified programming model for heterogeneous
machines. It provides constructs for bulk parallelism,
synchronization, and data placement which operate
across the entire machine. Our prototype implementation
is able to launch and coordinate work on both CPU and
GPU processors within a single node, and by leveraging
the GASNet runtime, is able to run across all the nodes
of a distributed-memory machine.",

abstract = "Modern graphics processing units (GPUs) employ a large
number of hardware threads to hide both function unit
and memory access latency. Extreme multithreading
requires a complex thread scheduler as well as a large
register file, which is expensive to access both in
terms of energy and latency. We present two
complementary techniques for reducing energy on
massively-threaded processors such as GPUs. First, we
investigate a two-level thread scheduler that maintains
a small set of active threads to hide ALU and local
memory access latency and a larger set of pending
threads to hide main memory latency. Reducing the
number of threads that the scheduler must consider each
cycle improves the scheduler's energy efficiency.
Second, we propose replacing the monolithic register
file found on modern designs with a hierarchical
register file. We explore various trade-offs for the
hierarchy including the number of levels in the
hierarchy and the number of entries at each level. We
consider both a hardware-managed caching scheme and a
software-managed scheme, where the compiler is
responsible for orchestrating all data movement within
the register file hierarchy. Combined with a
hierarchical register file, our two-level thread
scheduler provides a further reduction in energy by
only allocating entries in the upper levels of the
register file hierarchy for active threads. Averaging
across a variety of real world graphics and compute
workloads, the active thread count can be reduced by a
factor of 4 with minimal impact on performance and our
most efficient three-level software-managed register
file hierarchy reduces register file energy by 54\%.",

process that extrapolates solutions obtained for
finitary unrollings of equations. We show how our

First, Kitsune's updating mechanism updates the whole

more flexible than most prior approaches and places no
restrictions on data representations or allowed
compiler optimizations. Second, Kitsune makes the
important aspects of updating explicit in the program
text, making the program's semantics easy to understand
while minimizing programmer effort. Finally, the
programmer can write simple specifications to direct
Kitsune to generate code that traverses and transforms
old-version state for use by new code; such state
transformation is often necessary, and is significantly
more difficult in prior DSU systems. We have used
Kitsune to update five popular, open-source, single-

changes are required to use Kitsune, and that it incurs
essentially no performance overhead.",

parallel phases of execution used in Amdahl's Law are
often composed of many of the same basic blocks.
Second, that program features, such as instruction mix,

abstract = "Embedded systems, as typified by modern mobile phones,
are already seeing a drive toward using multi-core
processors. The number of cores will likely increase
rapidly in the future. Engineers and researchers need
to be able to simulate systems, as they are expected to
be in a few generations time, running simulations of
many-core devices on today's multi-core machines. These
requirements place heavy demands on the scalability of
simulation engines, the fastest of which have typically
evolved from just-in-time (Jit) dynamic binary
translators (Dbt). Existing work aimed at parallelizing
Dbt simulators has focused exclusively on trace-based
Dbt, wherein linear execution traces or perhaps trees
thereof are the units of translation. Region-based Dbt
simulators have not received the same attention and
require different techniques than their trace-based
cousins. In this paper we develop an innovative
approach to scaling multi-core, embedded simulation
through region-based Dbt. We initially modify the Jit
code generator of such a simulator to emit code that
does not depend on a particular thread with its
thread-specific context and is, therefore,
thread-agnostic. We then demonstrate that this
thread-agnostic code generation is comparable to
thread-specific code with respect to performance, but
also enables the sharing of JIT-compiled regions
between different threads. This sharing optimisation,
in turn, leads to significant performance improvements
for multi-threaded applications. In fact, our results
confirm that an average of 76\% of all JIT-compiled
regions can be shared between 128 threads in
representative, parallel workloads. We demonstrate that
this translates into an overall performance improvement
by 1.44x on average and up to 2.40x across 12
multi-threaded benchmarks taken from the Splash-2
benchmark suite, targeting our high-performance
multi-core Dbt simulator for embedded Arc processors

abstract = "Existing concurrency platforms for dynamic
multithreading do not provide repeatable parallel
random-number generators. This paper proposes that a
mechanism called pedigrees be built into the runtime
system to enable efficient deterministic parallel
random-number generation. Experiments with the
open-source MIT Cilk runtime system show that the
overhead for maintaining pedigrees is negligible.
Specifically, on a suite of 10 benchmarks, the relative
overhead of Cilk with pedigrees to the original Cilk
has a geometric mean of less than 1\%. We persuaded
Intel to modify its commercial C/C++ compiler, which
provides the Cilk Plus concurrency platform, to include
pedigrees, and we built a library implementation of a
deterministic parallel random-number generator called
DotMix that compresses the pedigree and then
``RC6-mixes'' the result. The statistical quality of
DotMix is comparable to that of the popular Mersenne
twister, but somewhat slower than a nondeterministic
parallel version of this efficient and high-quality
serial random-number generator. The cost of calling
DotMix depends on the ``spawn depth'' of the
invocation. For a naive Fibonacci calculation with n=40
that calls DotMix in every node of the computation,
this ``price of determinism'' is a factor of 2.65 in
running time, but for more realistic applications with
less intense use of random numbers --- such as a
maximal-independent-set algorithm, a practical
samplesort program, and a Monte Carlo discrete-hedging
application from QuantLib --- the observed ``price''
was less than 5\%. Moreover, even if overheads were
several times greater, applications using DotMix should
be amply fast for debugging purposes, which is a major
reason for desiring repeatability.",

investigate the evolution and relationships among

analysis is also a computationally intensive operation

the large number of species in the real world, the

reconstruction. In this paper, we describe the detailed

the framework of the most widely used phylogenetic

abstract = "Hybrid processors are HW/SW co-designed processors
that leverage blocked-execution, the execution of
regions of instructions as atomic blocks, to facilitate
aggressive speculative optimization. As we move to a
multicore hybrid design, fine grained conflicts for
shared data can violate the atomicity requirement of
these blocks and lead to expensive squashes and
rollbacks. However, as these atomic regions differ from
those used in checkpointing and transactional memory
systems, the extent of this potentially prohibitive
problem remains unclear, and mechanisms to mitigate
these squashes dynamically may be critical to enable a
highly per-formant multicore hybrid design. In this
work, we investigate how multithreaded applications,
both benchmark and commercial workloads, are affected
by squashes, and present dynamic mechanisms for
mitigating these squashes in hybrid processors. While
the current wisdom is that there is not a significant
number of squashes for smaller atomic regions, we
observe this is not the case for many multithreaded
workloads. With region sizes of just 200--500
instructions, we observe a performance degradation
ranging from 10\% to more than 50\% for workloads with
a mixture of shared reads and writes. By harnessing the
unique flexibility provided by the software subsystem
of hybrid processor design, we present BlockChop, a
framework for dynamically mitigating squashes on
multicore hybrid processors. We present a range of
squash handling mechanisms leveraging retrials,
interpretation, and retranslation, and find that
BlockChop is quite effective. Over the current response
to exceptions and squashes in a hybrid design, we are
able to improve the performance of benchmark and
commercial workloads by 1.4x and 1.2x on average for
large and small region sizes respectively.",

microprocessor designers. Lowering the supply voltage
of processors is one of the most effective techniques
for improving their energy efficiency. Unfortunately,
low-voltage operation faces multiple challenges going
forward. One such challenge is increased sensitivity to
voltage fluctuations, which can trigger so-called
``voltage emergencies'' that can lead to errors. These
fluctuations are caused by abrupt changes in power
demand, triggered by processor activity variation as a
function of workload. This paper examines the effects
of voltage fluctuations on future many-core processors.
With the increase in the number of cores in a chip, the
effects of chip-wide activity fluctuation --- such as
that caused by global synchronization in multithreaded
applications --- overshadow the effects of core-level
workload variability. Starting from this observation,
we developed VRSync, a novel synchronization
methodology that uses emergency-aware scheduling
policies that reduce the slope of load fluctuations,
eliminating emergencies. We show that VRSync is very
effective at eliminating emergencies, allowing voltage
guardbands to be significantly lowered, which reduces
energy consumption by an average of 33\%.",

experience with NeedlePoint indicates that
priority-based probabilistic concurrency testing (the

thread at a time, which destroys parallelism by
serializing executions. To address this problem we
propose a parallel version of the PCT algorithm~(PPCT).
We show that the new algorithm outperforms the original

abstract = "The introduction of massively multithreaded (MMT)
processors, comprised of a large number of cores with
many shared resources, has made task scheduling, in
particular task to hardware thread assignment, one of
the most promising ways to improve system performance.
However, finding an optimal task assignment for a
workload running on MMT processors is an NP-complete
problem. Due to the fact that the performance of the
best possible task assignment is unknown, the room for
improvement of current task-assignment algorithms
cannot be determined. This is a major problem for the
industry because it could lead to: (1)~A waste of
resources if excessive effort is devoted to improving a
task assignment algorithm that already provides a
performance that is close to the optimal one, or
(2)~significant performance loss if insufficient effort
is devoted to improving poorly-performing task
assignment algorithms. In this paper, we present a
method based on Extreme Value Theory that allows the
prediction of the performance of the optimal task
assignment in MMT processors. We further show that
executing a sample of several hundred or several
thousand random task assignments is enough to obtain,
with very high confidence, an assignment with a
performance that is close to the optimal one. We
validate our method with an industrial case study for a
set of multithreaded network applications running on an
UltraSPARC~T2 processor.",

performance of Java applications, studying how best to
map application and virtual machine (JVM) threads to a
multicore, multi-socket environment. We explore both
the cost of separating JVM threads from application
threads, and the opportunity to speed up or slow down
the clock frequency of isolated threads. We perform

abstract = "High-performance superscalar architectures used to
exploit instruction level parallelism in single-thread
applications have become too complex and power hungry
for the multicore processors era. We propose a new
architecture that uses multiple small latency-tolerant
out-of-order cores to improve single-thread
performance. Improving single-thread performance with
multiple small out-of-order cores allows designers to
place more of these cores on the same die.
Consequently, emerging highly parallel applications can
take full advantage of the multicore parallel hardware
without sacrificing performance of inherently serial
and hard to parallelize applications. Our architecture
combines speculative multithreading (SpMT) with
checkpoint recovery and continual flow pipeline
architectures. It splits single-thread program
execution into disjoint control and data threads that
execute concurrently on multiple cooperating small and
latency-tolerant out-of-order cores. Hence we call this
style of execution Disjoint Out-of-Order Execution
(DOE). DOE uses latency tolerance to overcome
performance issues of SpMT caused by interthread data
dependences. To evaluate this architecture, we have
developed a microarchitecture performance model of DOE
based on PTLSim, a simulation infrastructure of the x86
instruction set architecture. We evaluate the potential
performance of DOE processor architecture using a
simple heuristic to fork control independent threads in
hardware at the target addresses of future procedure
return instructions. Using applications from SpecInt
2000, we study DOE under ideal as well as realistic
architectural constraints. We discuss the performance
impact of key DOE architecture and application
variables such as number of cores, interthread data
dependences, intercore data communication delay,
buffers capacity, and branch mispredictions. Without
any DOE specific compiler optimizations, our results
show that DOE outperforms conventional SpMT
architectures by 15\%, on average. We also show that
DOE with four small cores can perform on average
equally well to a large superscalar core, consuming
about the same power. Most importantly, DOE improves
throughput performance by a significant amount over a
large superscalar core, up to 2.5 times, when running
multitasking applications.",

sequences for concurrency from unified modelling

all concurrent interleaving sequences is exponential in
size. Therefore, it is necessary to find adequate test
cases in presence of concurrency to uncover errors due
to, e.g., data race, synchronization and deadlocks. In
order to generate adequate test cases a novel search
algorithm, which we call concurrent queue search (CQS)
is proposed. The CQS handles random nature of
concurrent tasks. To generate test scenarios, a
sequence diagram is converted into an activity diagram.
An activity diagram encapsulates sequential,

intuitive behavior for a shared-memory multithreaded
program. It is widely accepted that language-level SC
could significantly improve programmability of a
multiprocessor system. However, efficiently supporting
end-to-end SC remains a challenge as it requires that
both compiler and hardware optimizations preserve SC
semantics. While a recent study has shown that a
compiler can preserve SC semantics for a small
performance cost, an efficient and complexity-effective
SC hardware remains elusive. Past hardware solutions
relied on aggressive speculation techniques, which has
not yet been realized in a practical implementation.
This paper exploits the observation that hardware need
not enforce any memory model constraints on accesses to
thread-local and shared read-only locations. A
processor can easily determine a large fraction of
these safe accesses with assistance from static
compiler analysis and the hardware memory management
unit. We discuss a low-complexity hardware design that
exploits this information to reduce the overhead in
ensuring SC. Our design employs an additional unordered
store buffer for fast-tracking thread-local stores and
allowing later memory accesses to proceed without a
memory ordering related stall. Our experimental study
shows that the cost of guaranteeing end-to-end SC is
only 6.2\% on average when compared to a system with
TSO hardware executing a stock compiler's output.",

abstract = "Multicore architectures provide scalable performance
with a lower hardware design effort than single core
processors. Our article presents a design methodology
and an embedded multicore architecture, focusing on
reducing the software design complexity and boosting
the performance density. First, we analyze
characteristics of the Task-Level Parallelism in modern
multimedia workloads. These characteristics are used to
formulate requirements for the programming model. Then
we translate the programming model requirements to an
architecture specification, including a novel
low-complexity implementation of cache coherence and a
hardware synchronization unit. Our evaluation
demonstrates that the novel coherence mechanism
substantially simplifies hardware design, while
reducing the performance by less than 18\% relative to
a complex snooping technique. Compared to a single
processor core, the multicores have already proven to
be more area- and energy-efficient. However, the
multicore architectures in embedded systems still
compete with highly efficient function-specific
hardware accelerators. In this article we identify five
architectural methods to boost performance density of
multicores; microarchitectural downscaling, asymmetric
multicore architectures, multithreading, generic
accelerators, and conjoining. Then, we present a novel
methodology to explore multicore design spaces,
including the architectural methods improving the
performance density. The methodology is based on a
complex formula computing performances of heterogeneous
multicore systems. Using this design space exploration
methodology for HD and QuadHD H.264 video decoding, we
estimate that the required areas of multicores in CMOS
45 nm are 2.5 mm$^2$ and 8.6 mm$^2$, respectively.
These results suggest that heterogeneous multicores are

synchronization bugs such as atomicity violations and

strategies and ad hoc synchronization methods to avoid
the use of locks. A survey of the bug databases of
major open-source applications shows that concurrency
bugs often take multiple fix attempts, and that fixes
often introduce yet more concurrency bugs.
Transactional memory (TM) enables programmers to
declare regions of code atomic without specifying a
lock and has the potential to avoid these bugs. Where
most previous studies have focused on using TM to write
new programs from scratch, we consider its utility in
fixing existing programs with concurrency bugs. We
therefore investigate four methods of using TM on three
concurrent programs. Overall, we find that 29\% of the
bugs are not fixable by transactional memory, showing
that TM does not address many important types of
concurrency bugs. In particular, TM works poorly with
extremely long critical sections and with deadlocks
involving both condition variables and I/O. Conversely,
we find that for 56\% of the bugs, transactional memory
offers demonstrable value by simplifying the reasoning
behind a fix or the effort to implement a fix, and
using transactions in the first place would have
avoided 71\% of the bugs examined. We also find that ad

abstract = "Parallel programs are known to be difficult to
analyze. A key reason is that they typically have an
enormous number of execution interleavings, or
schedules. Static analysis over all schedules requires
over-approximations, resulting in poor precision;
dynamic analysis rarely covers more than a tiny
fraction of all schedules. We propose an approach
called schedule specialization to analyze a parallel
program over only a small set of schedules for
precision, and then enforce these schedules at runtime
for soundness of the static analysis results. We build
a schedule specialization framework for C/C++
multithreaded programs that use Pthreads. Our framework
avoids the need to modify every analysis to be
schedule-aware by specializing a program into a simpler
program based on a schedule, so that the resultant
program can be analyzed with stock analyses for
improved precision. Moreover, our framework provides a

abstract = "The current trend toward multicore architectures has
placed great pressure on programmers and compilers to
generate thread-parallel programs. Improved execution
performance can no longer be obtained via traditional
single-thread instruction level parallelism (ILP), but,
instead, via multithreaded execution. One notable
technique that facilitates the extraction of parallel
threads from sequential applications is thread-level
speculation (TLS). This technique allows
programmers/compilers to generate threads without
checking for inter-thread data and control dependences,
which are then transparently enforced by the hardware.
Most prior work on TLS has concentrated on thread
selection and mechanisms to efficiently support the
main TLS operations, such as squashes, data versioning,
and commits. This article seeks to enhance TLS
functionality by combining it with other speculative
multithreaded execution models. The main idea is that
TLS already requires extensive hardware support, which
when slightly augmented can accommodate other
speculative multithreaded techniques. Recognizing that
for different applications, or even program phases, the
application bottlenecks may be different, it is
reasonable to assume that the more versatile a system
is, the more efficiently it will be able to execute the
given program. Toward this direction, we first show
that mixed execution models that combine TLS with
Helper Threads (HT), RunAhead execution (RA) and
MultiPath execution (MP) perform better than any of the
models alone. Based on a simple model that we propose,
we show that benefits come from being able to extract
additional ILP without harming the TLP extracted by
TLS. We then show that by combining all the execution
models in a unified one that combines all these
speculative multithreaded models, ILP can be further
enhanced with only minimal additional cost in
hardware.",

provides an effective computation framework for many

computation time and available memory. SDPARA

outstanding for general SDPs in most cases. However,
the parallel implementation is less successful for some
sparse SDPs obtained from applications such as
Polynomial Optimization Problems (POPs) or Sensor
Network Localization (SNL) problems, since this version
of SDPARA cannot directly handle sparse Schur
Complement Matrices (SCMs). In this article we improve
SDPARA by focusing on the sparsity of the SCM and we
propose a new parallel implementation using the
formula-cost-based distribution along with a
replacement of the dense Cholesky factorization. We
verify numerically that these features are key to
solving SDPs with sparse SCMs more quickly on parallel
computing systems. The performance is further enhanced
by multithreading and the new SDPARA attains
considerable scalability in general. It also finds
solutions for extremely large-scale SDPs arising from

dominant architecture choice for modern computing
platforms and will most likely continue to be dominant
well into the foreseeable future. As with any system,
CMPs offer a unique set of challenges. Chief among them
is the shared resource contention that results because
CMP cores are not independent processors but rather
share common resources among cores such as the last
level cache (LLC). Shared resource contention can lead
to severe and unpredictable performance impact on the
threads running on the CMP. Conversely, CMPs offer
tremendous opportunities for multithreaded
applications, which can take advantage of simultaneous
thread execution as well as fast inter thread data
sharing. Many solutions have been proposed to deal with
the negative aspects of CMPs and take advantage of the
positive. This survey focuses on the subset of these
solutions that exclusively make use of OS thread-level
scheduling to achieve their goals. These solutions are
particularly attractive as they require no changes to
hardware and minimal or no changes to the OS. The OS
scheduler has expanded well beyond its original role of
time-multiplexing threads on a single core into a
complex and effective resource manager. This article
surveys a multitude of new and exciting work that
explores the diverse new roles the OS scheduler can
successfully take on.",

always follow some schedule in $ \Sigma $, and never
deviate. We have designed an algorithm that uses
symbolic execution to systematically enumerate a set of

programs that run for an unbounded length of time, we
partition execution into bounded epochs, find
input-covering schedules for each epoch in isolation,
and then piece the schedules together at runtime. We
have implemented this algorithm along with a
constrained execution runtime for pthreads programs,
and we report results Our approach has the following
advantage: because all possible runtime schedules are
known a priori, we can seek to validate the program by
thoroughly verifying each schedule in $ \Sigma $, in
isolation, without needing to reason about the huge
space of thread interleavings that arises due to
conventional nondeterministic execution.",

performance and scalability is far from trivial, which
severely complicates parallel software development and

a powerful analysis tool that visualizes multi-threaded
program performance, in regards to both per-thread
parallelism and execution time. Each thread is
represented as a box, with its height equal to the
share of that thread in the total program execution
time, its width equal to its parallelism, and its area
equal to its total running time. The boxes of all
threads are stacked upon each other, leading to a stack
with height equal to the total program execution time.
Bottle graphs show exactly how scalable each thread is,
and thus guide optimization towards those threads that
have a smaller parallel component (narrower), and a
larger share of the total execution time (taller), i.e.
to the 'neck' of the bottle. Using light-weight OS
modules, we calculate bottle graphs for unmodified
multi-threaded programs running on real processors with
an average overhead of 0.68\%. To demonstrate their
utility, we do an extensive analysis of 12 Java
benchmarks running on top of the Jikes JVM, which
introduces many JVM service threads. We not only reveal
and explain scalability limitations of several
well-known Java benchmarks; we also analyze the reasons
why the garbage collector itself does not scale, and in
fact performs optimally with two collector threads for

multithreaded applications. Even with the same input,
each execution of a multithreaded program may produce a
different output. This behavior complicates debugging
and limits one's ability to test for correctness. This
non-reproducibility situation is aggravated on
massively parallel architectures like graphics
processing units (GPUs) with thousands of concurrent
threads. We believe providing a deterministic
environment to ease debugging and testing of GPU
applications is essential to enable a broader class of
software to use GPUs. Many hardware and software
techniques have been proposed for providing determinism
on general-purpose multi-core processors. However,
these techniques are designed for small numbers of
threads. Scaling them to thousands of threads on a GPU
is a major challenge. This paper proposes a scalable
hardware mechanism, GPUDet, to provide determinism in
GPU architectures. In this paper we characterize the
existing deterministic and nondeterministic aspects of
current GPU execution models, and we use these
observations to inform GPUDet's design. For example,
GPUDet leverages the inherent determinism of the SIMD
hardware in GPUs to provide determinism within a
wavefront at no cost. GPUDet also exploits the Z-Buffer
Unit, an existing GPU hardware unit for graphics
rendering, to allow parallel out-of-order memory writes
to produce a deterministic output. Other optimizations
in GPUDet include deterministic parallel execution of
atomic operations and a workgroup-aware algorithm that
eliminates unnecessary global synchronizations. Our
simulation results indicate that GPUDet incurs only 2X
slowdown on average over a baseline nondeterministic
architecture, with runtime overheads as low as 4\% for
compute-bound applications, despite running GPU kernels
with thousands of threads. We also characterize the
sources of overhead for deterministic execution on GPUs

abstract = "Parallel programming is essential for reaping the
benefits of parallel hardware, but it is notoriously
difficult to develop and debug reliable, scalable
software systems. One key challenge is that modern
languages and systems provide poor support for ensuring
concurrency correctness properties --- atomicity,
sequential consistency, and multithreaded determinism
--- because all existing approaches are impractical.
Dynamic, software-based approaches slow programs by up
to an order of magnitude because capturing and
controlling cross-thread dependences (i.e., conflicting
accesses to shared memory) requires synchronization at
virtually every access to potentially shared memory.
This paper introduces a new software-based concurrency
control mechanism called OCTET that soundly captures
cross-thread dependences and can be used to build
dynamic analyses for concurrency correctness. OCTET
achieves low overheads by tracking the locality state
of each potentially shared object. Non-conflicting
accesses conform to the locality state and require no
synchronization; only conflicting accesses require a
state change and heavyweight synchronization. This
optimistic tradeoff leads to significant efficiency
gains in capturing cross-thread dependences: a
prototype implementation of OCTET in a high-performance
Java virtual machine slows real-world concurrent
programs by only 26\% on average. A dependence
recorder, suitable for record {\&} replay, built on top
of OCTET adds an additional 5\% overhead on average.
These results suggest that OCTET can provide a
foundation for developing low-overhead analyses that
check and enforce concurrency correctness.",

abstract = "This article describes a multithreaded,
portfolio-based approach to model checking, where
multiple cores are exploited as the underlying
computing framework to support concurrent execution of
cooperative engines. We introduce a portfolio-based
approach to model checking. Our portfolio is first
driven by an approximate runtime predictor that
provides a heuristic approximation to a perfect oracle
and suggests which engines are more suitable for each
verification instance. Scalability and robustness of
the overall model-checking effort highly rely on a
concurrent, multithreaded model of execution. Following
similar approaches in related application fields, we
dovetail data partitioning, focused on proving several
properties in parallel, and engine partitioning, based
on concurrent runs of different model-checking engines
competing for completion of the same problem. We
investigate concurrency not only to effectively exploit
several available engines, which operate independently,
but also to show that a cooperative effort is possible.
In this case, we adopt a straightforward, light-weight,
model of inter-engine communication and data sharing.
We provide a detailed description of the ideas,
algorithms, and experimental results obtained on the
benchmarks from the Hardware Model Checking Competition
suites (HWMCC'10 and HWMCC'11).",

In the process of commercializing the feature, we had
to resolve some previously unexplored interactions
between TM and existing features of the ISA, for
example translation shootdown, interrupt handling,
atomic read-modify-write primitives, and our weakly

abstract = "Recent advances in verification have made it possible
to envision trusted implementations of real-world
languages. Java with its type-safety and fully
specified semantics would appear to be an ideal
candidate; yet, the complexity of the translation steps
used in production virtual machines have made it a
challenging target for verifying compiler technology.
One of Java's key innovations, its memory model, poses
significant obstacles to such an endeavor. The Java
Memory Model is an ambitious attempt at specifying the
behavior of multithreaded programs in a portable,
hardware agnostic, way. While experts have an intuitive
grasp of the properties that the model should enjoy,
the specification is complex and not well-suited for
integration within a verifying compiler infrastructure.
Moreover, the specification is given in an axiomatic
style that is distant from the intuitive
reordering-based reasonings traditionally used to
justify or rule out behaviors, and ill suited to the
kind of operational reasoning one would expect to
employ in a compiler. This paper takes a step back, and
introduces a Buffered Memory Model (BMM) for Java. We
choose a pragmatic point in the design space
sacrificing generality in favor of a model that is
fully characterized in terms of the reorderings it
allows, amenable to formal reasoning, and which can be
efficiently applied to a specific hardware family,
namely x86 multiprocessors. Although the BMM restricts
the reorderings compilers are allowed to perform, it
serves as the key enabling device to achieving a
verification pathway from bytecode to machine
instructions. Despite its restrictions, we show that it
is backwards compatible with the Java Memory Model and
that it does not cripple performance on TSO
architectures.",

challenging, but is necessary to obtain good multicore
performance while saving energy. Due to
synchronization, certain threads make others wait,
because they hold a lock or have yet to reach a
barrier. We call these critical threads, i.e., threads
whose performance is determinative of program
performance as a whole. Identifying these threads can
reveal numerous optimization opportunities, for the
software developer and for hardware. In this paper, we
propose a new metric for assessing thread criticality,
which combines both how much time a thread is
performing useful work and how many co-running threads
are waiting. We show how thread criticality can be
calculated online with modest hardware additions and
with low overhead. We use our metric to create
criticality stacks that break total execution time into
each thread's criticality component, allowing for easy
visual analysis of parallel imbalance. To validate our
criticality metric, and demonstrate it is better than
previous metrics, we scale the frequency of the most
critical thread and show it achieves the largest
performance improvement. We then demonstrate the broad
applicability of criticality stacks by using them to
perform three types of optimizations: (1) program
analysis to remove parallel bottlenecks, (2)
dynamically identifying the most critical thread and
accelerating it using frequency scaling to improve
performance, and (3) showing that accelerating only the
most critical thread allows for targeted energy

flexibly trade-off replay parallelism for log size. We
analyze the performance of Cyrus using full system (OS
plus hardware) simulation. Our results show that Cyrus
has negligible recording overhead. In addition, for
8-processor runs of SPLASH-2, Cyrus attains an average
replay parallelism of 5, and a replay speed that is, on

concurrency bugs. CLAP has two key steps. First, it
logs thread local execution paths at runtime. Second,
offline, it computes memory dependencies that accord
with the logged execution and are able to reproduce the
observed bug. The second step works by combining
constraints from the thread paths and constraints based
on a memory model, and computing an execution with a
constraint solver. CLAP has four major advantages.
First, logging purely local execution of each thread is
substantially cheaper than logging memory interactions,
which enables CLAP to be efficient compared to previous
approaches. Second, our logging does not require any
synchronization and hence with no added memory barriers
or fences; this minimizes perturbation and missed bugs
due to extra synchronizations foreclosing certain racy
behaviors. Third, since it uses no synchronization, we
extend CLAP to work on a range of relaxed memory
models, such as TSO and PSO, in addition to sequential
consistency. Fourth, CLAP can compute a much simpler
execution than the original one, that reveals the bug
with minimal thread context switches. To mitigate the
scalability issues, we also present an approach to
parallelize constraint solving, which theoretically
scales our technique to programs with arbitrary
execution length. Experimental results on a variety of
multithreaded benchmarks and real world concurrent
applications validate these advantages by showing that
our technique is effective in reproducing concurrency
bugs even under relaxed memory models; furthermore, it
is significantly more efficient than a state-of-the-art
technique that records shared memory dependencies,
reducing execution time overhead by 45\% and log size
by 88\% on average.",

further, we propose and implement an algorithm that

abstract = "As processor architectures have been enhancing their
computing capacity by increasing core counts,
independent workloads can be consolidated on a single
node for the sake of high resource efficiency in data
centers. With the prevalence of virtualization
technology, each individual workload can be hosted on a
virtual machine for strong isolation between co-located
workloads. Along with this trend, hosted applications
have increasingly been multithreaded to take advantage
of improved hardware parallelism. Although the
performance of many multithreaded applications highly
depends on communication (or synchronization) latency,
existing schemes of virtual machine scheduling do not
explicitly coordinate virtual CPUs based on their
communication behaviors. This paper presents a
demand-based coordinated scheduling scheme for
consolidated virtual machines that host multithreaded
workloads. To this end, we propose communication-driven
scheduling that controls time-sharing in response to
inter-processor interrupts (IPIs) between virtual CPUs.
On the basis of in-depth analysis on the relationship
between IPI communications and coordination demands, we
devise IPI-driven coscheduling and delayed preemption
schemes, which effectively reduce synchronization
latency and unnecessary CPU consumption. In addition,
we introduce a load-conscious CPU allocation policy in
order to address load imbalance in heterogeneously
consolidated environments. The proposed schemes are
evaluated with respect to various scenarios of mixed

traditionally required intimate knowledge of the entire

New language standards have extended C and C++ with

efficient multithreaded code. Developing correct
low-level concurrent code is well-known to be
especially difficult under a weak memory model, where

under the C/C++ memory model. We develop several novel
techniques for modeling the relaxed behaviors allowed
by the memory model and for minimizing the number of
execution behaviors that CDSChecker must explore. We

practicality. This paper presents QuickRec, the first

managing the recording hardware from within a modified

evaluating the implementation issues of RnR on a real

well as to some pointers for future research. We
demonstrate that RnR can be implemented efficiently on
a real multicore IA system. In particular, we show that
the rate of memory log generation is insignificant, and
that the recording hardware has negligible performance

event-driven programs such as client-side web
applications are susceptible to data races that are

of false positives. Race detection also faces a
scalability challenge, as a large number of
short-running event handlers can quickly overwhelm
standard vector-clock-based techniques. This paper
presents several novel contributions that address both
of these challenges. First, we introduce race coverage,
a systematic method for exposing ad hoc synchronization
and other (potentially harmful) races to the user,
significantly reducing false positives. Second, we
present an efficient connectivity algorithm for
computing race coverage. The algorithm is based on
chain decomposition and leverages the structure of
event-driven programs to dramatically decrease the
overhead of vector clocks. We implemented our
techniques in a tool called EventRacer and evaluated it
on a number of public web sites. The results indicate
substantial performance and precision improvements of

level of performance than previous workloads of
embedded systems. They have driven digital signal
processor (DSP) makers to adopt high-performance
architectures like VLIW (Very-Long Instruction Word).
Despite many efforts to exploit instruction-level
parallelism (ILP) in the application, the speed is a
fraction of what it could be, limited by the difficulty
of finding enough independent instructions to keep all
of the processor's functional units busy. This article
proposes Software Thread Integration (STI) for
instruction-level parallelism. STI is a software
technique for interleaving multiple threads of control
into a single implicitly multithreaded one. We use STI
to improve the performance on ILP processors by merging
parallel procedures into one, increasing the compiler's
scope and hence allowing it to create a more efficient
instruction schedule. Assuming the parallel procedures
are given, we define a methodology for finding the best
performing integrated procedure with a minimum
compilation time. We quantitatively estimate the
performance impact of integration, allowing various
integration scenarios to be compared and ranked via
profitability analysis. During integration of threads,
different ILP-improving code transformations are
selectively applied according to the control structure
and the ILP characteristics of the code, driven by
interactions with software pipelining. The estimated
profitability is verified and corrected by an iterative
compilation approach, compensating for possible
estimation inaccuracy. Our modeling methods combined
with limited compilation quickly find the best
integration scenario without requiring exhaustive
integration.",

abstract = "Detecting data races in multithreaded programs is a
crucial part of debugging such programs, but
traditional data race detectors are too slow to use
routinely. This paper shows how to speed up race
detection by spreading the work across multiple cores.
Our strategy relies on uniparallelism, which executes
time intervals of a program (called epochs ) in
parallel to provide scalability, but executes all
threads from a single epoch on a single core to
eliminate locking overhead. We use several techniques
to make parallelization effective: dividing race
detection into three phases, predicting a subset of the
analysis state, eliminating sequential work via
transitive reduction, and reducing the work needed to
maintain multiple versions of analysis via
factorization. We demonstrate our strategy by
parallelizing a happens-before detector and a
lockset-based detector. We find that uniparallelism can
significantly speed up data race detection. With 4x the
number of cores as the original application, our
strategy speeds up the median execution time by 4.4x
for a happens-before detector and 3.3x for a lockset
race detector. Even on the same number of cores as the
conventional detectors, the ability for uniparallelism
to elide analysis locks allows it to reduce the median
overhead by 13\% for a happens-before detector and 8\%
for a lockset detector.",

abstract = "Among techniques for parallelizing sequential codes,
privatization is a common and significant
transformation performed by both compilers and runtime
parallelizing systems. Without privatization,
repetitive updates to the same data structures often
introduce spurious data dependencies that hide the
inherent parallelism. Unfortunately, it remains a
significant challenge to compilers to automatically
privatize dynamic and recursive data structures which
appear frequently in real applications written in
languages such as C/C++. This is because such languages
lack a naming mechanism to define the address range of
a pointer-based data structure, in contrast to arrays
with explicitly declared bounds. In this paper we
present a novel solution to this difficult problem by
expanding general data structures such that memory
accesses issued from different threads to contentious
data structures are directed to different data fields.
Based on compile-time type checking and a data
dependence graph, this aggressive extension to the
traditional scalar and array expansion isolates the
address ranges among different threads, without
struggling with privatization based on thread-private
stacks, such that the targeted loop can be effectively
parallelized. With this method fully implemented in
GCC, experiments are conducted on a set of programs
from well-known benchmark suites such as Mibench,
MediaBench II and SPECint. Results show that the new
approach can lead to a high speedup when executing the
transformed code on multiple cores.",

abstract = "Ideally, the pay-as-you-go model of Infrastructure as
a Service (IaaS) clouds should enable users to rent
just enough resources (e.g., CPU or memory bandwidth)
to fulfill their service level objectives (SLOs).
Achieving this goal is hard on current IaaS offers,
which require users to explicitly specify the amount of
resources to reserve; this requirement is nontrivial
for users, because estimating the amount of resources
needed to attain application-level SLOs is often
complex, especially when resources are virtualized and
the service provider colocates virtual machines (VMs)
on host nodes. For this reason, users who deploy VMs
subject to SLOs are usually prone to overprovisioning
resources, thus resulting in inflated business costs.
This article tackles this issue with AutoPro: a runtime
system that enhances IaaS clouds with automated and
fine-grained resource provisioning based on performance
SLOs. Our main contribution with AutoPro is filling the
gap between application-level performance SLOs and
allocation of a contended resource, without requiring
explicit reservations from users. In this article, we
focus on CPU bandwidth allocation to throughput-driven,
compute-intensive multithreaded applications colocated
on a multicore processor; we show that a theoretically
sound, yet simple, control strategy can enable
automated fine-grained allocation of this contended
resource, without the need for offline profiling.
Additionally, AutoPro helps service providers optimize
infrastructure utilization by provisioning idle
resources to best-effort workloads, so as to maximize
node-level utilization. Our extensive experimental
evaluation confirms that AutoPro is able to
automatically determine and enforce allocations to meet
performance SLOs while maximizing node-level
utilization by supporting batch workloads on a
best-effort basis.",

efficient symbolic exploration of deep code paths in
multithreaded programs by allowing the symbolic engine
to jump directly to program contexts of interest. The
key challenge is modeling the initial context with
reasonable precision --- an overly approximate model
leads to exploration of many infeasible paths during
symbolic execution, while a very precise model would be
so expensive to compute that computing it would defeat
the purpose of jumping directly to the initial context
in the first place. We propose a context-specific
dataflow analysis that approximates the initial context
cheaply, but precisely enough to avoid some common
causes of infeasible-path explosion. This model is
necessarily approximate --- it may leave portions of
the memory state unconstrained, leaving our symbolic
execution unable to answer simple questions such as
``which thread holds lock A?''. For such cases, we
describe a novel algorithm for evaluating symbolic
synchronization during symbolic execution. Our symbolic
execution semantics are sound and complete up to the
limits of the underlying SMT solver. We describe
initial experiments on an implementation in Cloud 9.",

multi-threaded server-class applications that use locks
to protect access to shared data. However,
understanding the impact of locks on the performance of
a system is complex, and thus the use of locks can
impede the progress of threads on configurations that
were not anticipated by the developer, during specific
phases of the execution. In this paper, we propose Free
Lunch, a new lock profiler for Java application
servers, specifically designed to identify, in-vivo,
phases where the progress of the threads is impeded by
a lock. Free Lunch is designed around a new metric,
critical section pressure (CSP), which directly
correlates the progress of the threads to each of the
locks. Using Free Lunch, we have identified phases of
high CSP, which were hidden with other lock profilers,
in the distributed Cassandra NoSQL database and in
several applications from the DaCapo 9.12, the
SPECjvm2008 and the SPECjbb2005 benchmark suites. Our
evaluation of Free Lunch shows that its overhead is
never greater than 6\%, making it suitable for in-vivo

We study the complexity of pattern-based verification

undecidable for abstracted multithreaded programs with
recursive procedures and PSPACE-complete for abstracted
multithreaded while-programs (even without counters),
we show that pattern-based verification is NP-complete

then conduct a multiparameter analysis to study the
complexity of the problem on its three natural
parameters (number of threads+counters+variables,
maximal size of a thread, size of the pattern) and on
two parameters related to thread structure (maximal
number of procedures per thread and longest simple path

weighted-IPC metrics are not inconsistent, and that
weighted speedup is fair in giving equal importance to
each program. We argue that, in contrast to raw-IPC
metrics, weighted-IPC metrics have a system-level
meaning, and that raw-IPC metrics are affected by the
inherent behavior of the programs. We also show that
the choice of a metric may adversely affect the

execution model intended to exploit maximum parallelism
from sequential and multithreaded programs. A program
code section is partitioned into chunks that will be
mapped onto threads and executed transactionally. These
transactions run concurrently and out of order, trying
to exploit maximum parallelism but managed by a
specific fully distributed commit control to meet data
dependencies. To accomplish correct parallel execution,
a partial precedence order relation is derived from the
program code section and/or defined by the programmer.
When a conflict between chunks is eagerly detected, the
precedence order relation is used to determine the best
policy to solve the conflict that preserves the
precedence order while maximizing concurrency. The
model defines a new transactional state called executed
but not committed. This state allows exploiting
concurrency on two levels: intrathread and interthread.
Intrathread concurrency is improved by having pending
uncommitted transactions while executing a new one in
the same thread. The new state improves interthread
concurrency because it permits out-of-order transaction
commits regarding the precedence order. Our model has
been implemented in a lightweight software
transactional memory system, TinySTM, and has been
evaluated on a set of benchmarks obtaining an important
performance improvement over the baseline TM system.",

the important aspects of updating explicit in the
program text, making the program's semantics easy to
understand while minimizing programmer effort. Finally,
the programmer can write simple specifications to
direct Kitsune to generate code that traverses and
transforms old-version state for use by new code; such
state transformation is often necessary and is
significantly more difficult in prior DSU systems. We
have used Kitsune to update six popular, open-source,

programs on relaxed-consistency multiprocessors has
been a long-standing problem. While there are designs
that work for Total Store Ordering (TSO), finding a
general solution that is able to record the access
reordering allowed by any relaxed-consistency model has
proved challenging. This paper presents the first
complete solution for hard-ware-assisted memory race
recording that works for any relaxed-consistency model
of current processors. With the scheme, called
RelaxReplay, we can build an RnR system for any
relaxed-consistency model and coherence protocol.
RelaxReplay's core innovation is a new way of capturing
memory access reordering. Each memory instruction goes
through a post-completion in-order counting step that
detects any reordering, and efficiently records it. We
evaluate RelaxReplay with simulations of an 8-core
release-consistent multicore running SPLASH-2 programs.
We observe that RelaxReplay induces negligible overhead
during recording. In addition, the average size of the
log produced is comparable to the log sizes reported
for existing solutions, and still very small compared
to the memory bandwidth of modern machines. Finally,
deterministic replay is efficient and needs minimal
hardware support.",

thread communication mechanisms, such as shared
variables, signals, and broadcasts. In this article, we
consider the automated verification of such programs
where an unknown number of threads execute a given
finite-data procedure in parallel. Such procedures are
typically obtained as predicate abstractions of
recursion-free source code written in C or Java. Many
safety problems over finite-data replicated
multithreaded programs are decidable via a reduction to
the coverability problem in certain types of
well-ordered infinite-state transition systems. On the
other hand, in full generality, this problem is
Ackermann-hard, which seems to rule out efficient
algorithmic treatment. We present a novel, sound, and
complete yet empirically efficient solution. Our
approach is to judiciously widen the original set of
coverability targets by configurations that involve
fewer threads and are thus easier to decide, and whose
exploration may well be sufficient: if they turn out
uncoverable, so are the original targets. To soften the
impact of ``bad guesses''-configurations that turn out
coverable-the exploration is accompanied by a parallel
engine that generates coverable configurations; none of
these is ever selected for widening. Its job being
merely to prevent bad widening choices, such an engine
need not be complete for coverability analysis, which
enables a range of existing partial (e.g.,
nonterminating) techniques. We present extensive
experiments on multithreaded C programs, including
device driver code from FreeBSD, Solaris, and Linux
distributions. Our approach outperforms existing
coverability methods by orders of magnitude.",

abstract = "Switch on Event Multithreading (SoE MT, also known as
coarse-grained MT and block MT) processors run multiple
threads on a pipeline machine, while the pipeline
switches threads on stall events (e.g., cache miss).
The thread switch penalty is determined by the number
of stages in the pipeline that are flushed of in-flight
instructions. In this paper, Continuous Flow
Multithreading (CFMT), a new architecture of SoE MT, is
introduced. In CFMT, a multistate pipeline register
(MPR) holds the microarchitectural state of multiple
different threads within the execution pipeline stages,
where only one thread is active at a time. The MPRs
eliminate the need to flush in-flight instructions and
therefore significantly improve performance. In recent
years, novel memory technologies such as Resistive RAM
(RRAM) and Spin Torque Transfer Magnetoresistive RAM
(STT-MRAM), have been developed. All of these
technologies are nonvolatile, store data as resistance,
and can be described as ``{memristors.''} Memristors
are power efficient, dense, and fast as compared to
standard memory technologies such as SRAM, DRAM, and
Flash. Memristors therefore provide the opportunity to
place the MPRs physically within the pipeline stages. A
performance analysis of CFMT is compared to
conventional SoE MT processors, demonstrating up to a
2X performance improvement, while the operational
mechanism, due to the use of memristors, is low power
and low complexity as compared to conventional SoE MT
processors.",

abstract = "False sharing is a notorious problem for multithreaded
applications that can drastically degrade both
performance and scalability. Existing approaches can
precisely identify the sources of false sharing, but
only report false sharing actually observed during
execution; they do not generalize across executions.
Because false sharing is extremely sensitive to object
layout, these detectors can easily miss false sharing
problems that can arise due to slight differences in
memory allocation order or object placement decisions
by the compiler. In addition, they cannot predict the
impact of false sharing on hardware with different
cache line sizes. This paper presents PREDATOR, a
predictive software-based false sharing detector.
PREDATOR generalizes from a single execution to
precisely predict false sharing that is latent in the
current execution. PREDATOR tracks accesses within a
range that could lead to false sharing given different
object placement. It also tracks accesses within
virtual cache lines, contiguous memory ranges that span
actual hardware cache lines, to predict sharing on
hardware platforms with larger cache line sizes. For

abstract = "Almost all of today's microprocessors contain memory
controllers and directly attach to memory. Modern
multiprocessor systems support non-uniform memory
access (NUMA): it is faster for a microprocessor to
access memory that is directly attached than it is to
access memory attached to another processor. Without
careful distribution of computation and data, a
multithreaded program running on such a system may have
high average memory access latency. To use
multiprocessor systems efficiently, programmers need
performance tools to guide the design of NUMA-aware
codes. To address this need, we enhanced the HPCToolkit
performance tools to support measurement and analysis
of performance problems on multiprocessor systems with
multiple NUMA domains. With these extensions,
HPCToolkit helps pinpoint, quantify, and analyze NUMA
bottlenecks in executions of multithreaded programs. It
computes derived metrics to assess the severity of
bottlenecks, analyzes memory accesses, and provides a
wealth of information to guide NUMA optimization,
including information about how to distribute data to
reduce access latency and minimize contention. This
paper describes the design and implementation of our
extensions to HPCToolkit. We demonstrate their utility
by describing case studies in which we use these
capabilities to diagnose NUMA bottlenecks in four
multithreaded applications.",

conventional architectures and operating systems. This
complicates many tasks, including debugging and
testing. Deterministic multithreading (DMT) makes the
output of a multithreaded program depend on its inputs
only, which can totally solve the above problem.
However, current DMT implementations suffer from a
common inefficiency: they use frequent global barriers
to enforce a deterministic ordering on memory accesses.
In this paper, we eliminate that inefficiency using an
execution model we call deterministic lazy release
consistency (DLRC). Our execution model uses the Kendo
algorithm to enforce a deterministic ordering on
synchronization, and it uses a deterministic version of
the lazy release consistency memory model to propagate
memory updates across threads. Our approach guarantees
that programs execute deterministically even when they
contain data races. We implemented a DMT system based
on these ideas (RFDet) and evaluated it using 16
parallel applications. Our implementation targets C/C++
programs that use POSIX threads. Results show that
RFDet gains nearly 2x speedup compared with DThreads-a
start-of-the-art DMT system.",

systematically testing Android applications and detects
data races by computing the happens-before relation on

sets as nodes, edges, and properties. They are used to
store and search the relationships between a large
number of nodes, such as social networking services and
recommendation engines that use customer social graphs.
Since computation cost for graph search queries
increases as the graph becomes large, in this paper we
accelerate the graph search functions (Dijkstra and A*
algorithms) of a graph database Neo4j using two ways:
multithreaded library and CUDA library for graphics
processing units (GPUs). We use 100,000-node graphs
generated based on a degree distribution of Facebook
social graph for evaluations. Our multi-threaded and
GPU-based implementations require an auxiliary
adjacency matrix for a target graph. The results show
that, when we do not take into account additional
overhead to generate the auxiliary adjacency matrix,
multi-threaded version improves the Dijkstra and A*
search performance by 16.2x and 13.8x compared to the
original implementation. The GPU-based implementation
improves the Dijkstra and A* search performance by
26.2x and 32.8x. When we take into account the
overhead, although the speed-ups by our implementations
are reduced, by reusing the auxiliary adjacency matrix
for multiple graph search queries we can significantly
improve the graph search performance.",

past fine-grained CFI implementations do not support

allows modules to be independently instrumented and
linked statically or dynamically. The combined module
enforces a CFG that is a combination of the individual
modules' CFGs. One challenge in supporting dynamic
linking in multithreaded code is how to ensure a safe
transition from the old CFG to the new CFG when
libraries are dynamically linked. The key technique we
use is to have the CFG represented in a runtime data
structure and have reads and updates of the data
structure wrapped in transactions to ensure thread
safety. Our evaluation on SPECCPU2006 benchmarks shows
that MCFI supports separate compilation, incurs low
overhead of around 5\%, and enhances security.",

keeps increasing, providing efficient mechanisms for
thread synchronization in concurrent programs is
becoming a major concern. On cache-coherent
shared-memory processors, synchronization efficiency is
ultimately limited by the performance of the underlying
cache coherence protocol. This paper studies how
hardware support for message passing can improve
synchronization performance. Considering the ubiquitous
problem of mutual exclusion, we adapt two
state-of-the-art solutions used on shared-memory
processors, namely the server approach and the
combining approach, to leverage the potential of
hardware message passing. We propose HybComb, a novel
combining algorithm that uses both message passing and
shared memory features of emerging hybrid processors.
We also introduce MP-Server, a straightforward
adaptation of the server approach to hardware message
passing. Evaluation on Tilera's TILE-Gx processor shows
that MP-Server can execute contended critical sections
with unprecedented throughput, as stalls related to
cache coherence are removed from the critical path.
HybComb can achieve comparable performance, while
avoiding the need to dedicate server cores.
Consequently, our queue and stack implementations,
based on MP-Server and HybComb, largely outperform
their most efficient pure-shared-memory counterparts.",

abstract = "On a cache-coherent multicore multiprocessor system,
the performance of a multithreaded application with
high lock contention is very sensitive to the
distribution of application threads across multiple
processors. This is because the distribution of threads
impacts the frequency of lock transfers between
processors, which in turn impacts the frequency of
last-level cache (LLC) misses that lie on the critical
path of execution. Inappropriate distribution of
threads across processors increases LLC misses in the
critical path and significantly degrades performance of
multithreaded programs. To alleviate the above problem,
this paper overviews a thread migration technique,
which migrates threads of a multithreaded program
across multicore processors so that threads seeking
locks are more likely to find the locks on the same
processor.",

multithreaded programs on relaxed-consistency
multiprocessors with distributed directory protocol has
been a long-standing open problem. The independently
developed RelaxReplay [8] solves the problem by
assuming write atomicity. This paper proposes Pacifier,
the first R\&R scheme to provide a solution without
assuming write atomicity. R\&R for relaxed-consistency
multiprocessors needs to detect, record and replay
Sequential Consistency Violations (SCV). Pacifier has
two key components: (i) Relog, a general memory
reordering logging and replay mechanism that can
reproduce SCVs in relaxed memory models, and (ii)
Granule, an SCV detection scheme in the record phase
with good precision, that indicates whether to record
with Relog. We show that Pacifier is a sweet spot in
the design space with a reasonable trade-off between
hardware and log overhead. An evaluation with
simulations of 16, 32 and 64 processors with Release
Consistency (RC) running SPLASH-2 applications
indicates that Pacifier incurs 3.9\% ~ 16\% larger
logs. The slowdown of Pacifier during replay is 10.1\%
~ 30.5\% compared to native execution",

multithreaded program runtimes of parallel programming
languages. This paper presents HERMES, an
energy-efficient work-stealing language runtime. The
key insight is that threads in a work-stealing
environment --- thieves and victims --- have varying
impacts on the overall program running time, and a
coordination of their execution ``tempo'' can lead to
energy efficiency with minimal performance loss. The
centerpiece of HERMES is two complementary algorithms
to coordinate thread tempo: the workpath-sensitive
algorithm determines tempo for each thread based on
thief-victim relationships on the execution path,
whereas the workload-sensitive algorithm selects
appropriate tempo based on the size of work-stealing
deques. We construct HERMES on top of Intel Cilk Plus's
runtime, and implement tempo adjustment through
standard Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS).
Benchmarks running on HERMES demonstrate an average of
11-12\% energy savings with an average of 3-4\%
performance loss through meter-based measurements over
commercial CPUs.",

abstract = "The gap between processor and memory performance has
become a focal point for microprocessor research and
development over the past three decades. Modern
architectures use two orthogonal approaches to help
alleviate this issue: (1) Almost every microprocessor
includes some form of on-chip storage, usually in the
form of caches, to decrease memory latency and make
more effective use of limited memory bandwidth. (2)
Massively multithreaded architectures, such as graphics
processing units (GPUs), attempt to hide the high
latency to memory by rapidly switching between many
threads directly in hardware. This paper explores the
intersection of these two techniques. We study the
effect of accelerating highly parallel workloads with
significant locality on a massively multithreaded GPU.
We observe that the memory access stream seen by
on-chip caches is the direct result of decisions made
by the hardware thread scheduler. Our work proposes a
hardware scheduling technique that reacts to feedback
from the memory system to create a more cache-friendly
access stream. We evaluate our technique using
simulations and show a significant performance
improvement over previously proposed scheduling
mechanisms. We demonstrate the effectiveness of
scheduling as a cache management technique by comparing
cache hit rate using our scheduler and an LRU
replacement policy against other scheduling techniques
using an optimal cache replacement policy.",

abstract = "Designing and implementing thread-safe multithreaded
libraries can be a daunting task as developers of these
libraries need to ensure that their implementations are
free from concurrency bugs, including deadlocks. The
usual practice involves employing software testing
and/or dynamic analysis to detect deadlocks. Their
effectiveness is dependent on well-designed
multithreaded test cases. Unsurprisingly, developing
multithreaded tests is significantly harder than
developing sequential tests for obvious reasons. In
this paper, we address the problem of automatically
synthesizing multithreaded tests that can induce
deadlocks. The key insight to our approach is that a
subset of the properties observed when a deadlock
manifests in a concurrent execution can also be
observed in a single threaded execution. We design a
novel, automatic, scalable and directed approach that
identifies these properties and synthesizes a deadlock
revealing multithreaded test. The input to our approach
is the library implementation under consideration and
the output is a set of deadlock revealing multithreaded
tests. We have implemented our approach as part of a
tool, named OMEN$^1$. OMEN is able to synthesize
multithreaded tests on many multithreaded Java
libraries. Applying a dynamic deadlock detector on the
execution of the synthesized tests results in the
detection of a number of deadlocks, including 35 real
deadlocks in classes documented as thread-safe.
Moreover, our experimental results show that dynamic
analysis on multithreaded tests that are either
synthesized randomly or developed by third-party
programmers are ineffective in detecting the
deadlocks.",

abstract = "Multithread programming is widely adopted in novel
embedded system applications due to its high
performance and flexibility. This article addresses
compiler optimization for reducing the power
consumption of multithread programs. A traditional
compiler employs energy management techniques that
analyze component usage in control-flow graphs with a
focus on single-thread programs. In this environment
the leakage power can be controlled by inserting on and
off instructions based on component usage information
generated by flow equations. However, these methods
cannot be directly extended to a multithread
environment due to concurrent execution issues. This
article presents a multithread power-gating framework
composed of multithread power-gating analysis (MTPGA)
and predicated power-gating (PPG) energy management
mechanisms for reducing the leakage power when
executing multithread programs on simultaneous
multithreading (SMT) machines. Our multithread
programming model is based on hierarchical
bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) models. Based on a
multithread component analysis with dataflow equations,
our MTPGA framework estimates the energy usage of
multithread programs and inserts PPG operations as
power controls for energy management. We performed
experiments by incorporating our power optimization
framework into SUIF compiler tools and by simulating
the energy consumption with a post-estimated SMT
simulator based on Wattch toolkits. The experimental
results show that the total energy consumption of a
system with PPG support and our power optimization
method is reduced by an average of 10.09\% for BSP
programs relative to a system without a power-gating
mechanism on leakage contribution set to 30\%; and the
total energy consumption is reduced by an average of
4.27\% on leakage contribution set to 10\%. The results
demonstrate our mechanisms are effective in reducing
the leakage energy of BSP multithread programs.",

abstract = "Future multicore processors will be heterogeneous, be
increasingly less reliable, and operate in dynamically
changing operating conditions. Such environments will
result in a constantly varying pool of hardware
resources which can greatly complicate the task of
efficiently exposing a program's parallelism onto these
resources. Coupled with this uncertainty is the diverse
set of efficiency metrics that users may desire. This
paper proposes Varuna, a system that dynamically,
continuously, rapidly and transparently adapts a
program's parallelism to best match the instantaneous
capabilities of the hardware resources while satisfying
different efficiency metrics. Varuna is applicable to
both multithreaded and task-based programs and can be
seamlessly inserted between the program and the
operating system without needing to change the source
code of either. We demonstrate Varuna's effectiveness
in diverse execution environments using unaltered C/C++
parallel programs from various benchmark suites.
Regardless of the execution environment, Varuna always
outperformed the state-of-the-art approaches for the
efficiency metrics considered.",

abstract = "We describe a new algorithm SplitMix for an
object-oriented and splittable pseudorandom number
generator (PRNG) that is quite fast: 9 64-bit
arithmetic/logical operations per 64 bits generated. A
conventional linear PRNG object provides a generate
method that returns one pseudorandom value and updates
the state of the PRNG, but a splittable PRNG object
also has a second operation, split, that replaces the
original PRNG object with two (seemingly) independent
PRNG objects, by creating and returning a new such
object and updating the state of the original object.
Splittable PRNG objects make it easy to organize the
use of pseudorandom numbers in multithreaded programs
structured using fork-join parallelism. No locking or
synchronization is required (other than the usual
memory fence immediately after object creation).
Because the generate method has no loops or
conditionals, it is suitable for SIMD or GPU
implementation. We derive SplitMix from the DotMix
algorithm of Leiserson, Schardl, and Sukha by making a
series of program transformations and engineering
improvements. The end result is an object-oriented
version of the purely functional API used in the
Haskell library for over a decade, but SplitMix is
faster and produces pseudorandom sequences of higher
quality; it is also far superior in quality and speed
to java.util.Random, and has been included in Java JDK8
as the class java.util.SplittableRandom. We have tested
the pseudorandom sequences produced by SplitMix using
two standard statistical test suites (DieHarder and
TestU01) and they appear to be adequate for
``everyday'' use, such as in Monte Carlo algorithms and
randomized data structures where speed is important.",

we require that the number of such pairs, as computed

abstract = "Matrix transposition is an important algorithmic
building block for many numeric algorithms such as FFT.
It has also been used to convert the storage layout of
arrays. With more and more algebra libraries offloaded
to GPUs, a high performance in-place transposition
becomes necessary. Intuitively, in-place transposition
should be a good fit for GPU architectures due to
limited available on-board memory capacity and high
throughput. However, direct application of CPU in-place
transposition algorithms lacks the amount of
parallelism and locality required by GPUs to achieve
good performance. In this paper we present the first
known in-place matrix transposition approach for the
GPUs. Our implementation is based on a novel 3-stage
transposition algorithm where each stage is performed
using an elementary tiled-wise transposition.
Additionally, when transposition is done as part of the
memory transfer between GPU and host, our staged
approach allows hiding transposition overhead by
overlap with PCIe transfer. We show that the 3-stage
algorithm allows larger tiles and achieves 3X speedup
over a traditional 4-stage algorithm, with both
algorithms based on our high-performance elementary
transpositions on the GPU. We also show our proposed
low-level optimizations improve the sustained
throughput to more than 20 GB/s. Finally, we propose an
asynchronous execution scheme that allows CPU threads
to delegate in-place matrix transposition to GPU,
achieving a throughput of more than 3.4 GB/s (including
data transfers costs), and improving current
multithreaded implementations of in-place transposition
on CPU.",

We first describe a compiler pass that automatically

in the GPU. Using real hardware, we show that
compiler-managed software RMT has highly variable

redundant work scheduling, redundant computation, and
inter-thread communication, showing that no single
component in general is responsible for high overheads
across all applications; instead, certain workload
properties tend to cause RMT to perform well or poorly.
Finally, we demonstrate the benefit of architectural

abstract = "Parallel programs consist of series of code sections
with different thread-level parallelism (TLP). As a
result, it is rather common that a thread in a parallel
program, such as a GPU kernel in CUDA programs, still
contains both sequential code and parallel loops. In
order to leverage such parallel loops, the latest
Nvidia Kepler architecture introduces dynamic
parallelism, which allows a GPU thread to start another
GPU kernel, thereby reducing the overhead of launching
kernels from a CPU. However, with dynamic parallelism,
a parent thread can only communicate with its child
threads through global memory and the overhead of
launching GPU kernels is non-trivial even within GPUs.
In this paper, we first study a set of GPGPU benchmarks
that contain parallel loops, and highlight that these
bench-marks do not have a very high loop count or high
degrees of TLP. Consequently, the benefits of
leveraging such parallel loops using dynamic
parallelism are too limited to offset its overhead. We
then present our proposed solution to exploit nested
parallelism in CUDA, referred to as CUDA-NP. With
CUDA-NP, we initially enable a high number of threads
when a GPU program starts, and use control flow to
activate different numbers of threads for different
code sections. We implemented our proposed CUDA-NP
framework using a directive-based compiler approach.
For a GPU kernel, an application developer only needs
to add OpenMP-like pragmas for parallelizable code
sections. Then, our CUDA-NP compiler automatically
generates the optimized GPU kernels. It supports both
the reduction and the scan primitives, explores
different ways to distribute parallel loop iterations
into threads, and efficiently manages on-chip resource.
Our experiments show that for a set of GPGPU
benchmarks, which have already been optimized and
contain nested parallelism, our pro-posed CUDA-NP
framework further improves the performance by up to
6.69 times and 2.18 times on average.",

takes place on hierarchical memory systems. Our results
indicate that the mutex-based approach that most MPI
implementations use today can incur performance
penalties due to unfair arbitration. We then present

such as deterministic execution engines, data race
detectors, and software transactional memory systems,
require instrumenting loads and stores in an
application. This can cause a very significant runtime
and memory overhead compared to executing
uninstrumented code. Multithreaded programming
typically allows any thread to perform loads and stores
to any location in the process's address space
independently, and such tools monitor all these memory
accesses. However, many of the addresses in these
unsynchronized memory accesses are only used by a
single thread and do not affect other executing
threads. We propose Section-Based Program Analysis
(SBPA), a novel way to decompose the program into
disjoint code sections to identify and eliminate
instrumenting such loads and stores during program
compilation so that the program runtime overhead is
significantly reduced. Our analysis includes
improvements to pointer analysis and uses a few user
directives to increase the effectiveness of SBPA
further. We implemented SBPA for a deterministic
execution runtime environment and were able to
eliminate 51\% of dynamic memory access
instrumentations. When combined with directives, such
reduction increased to 63\%. We also integrated SBPA
with ThreadSanitizer, a state-of-the-art dynamic race
detector, and achieved a speedup of 2.43 (2.74 with
directives) on a geometric mean basis.",

addition, it contends with on-chip (cache) accesses as
both use the same NoC resources. In this paper,
focusing on data-parallel, multithreaded applications,
we propose a compiler-based off-chip data access
localization strategy, which places data elements in
the memory space such that an off-chip access traverses
a minimum number of links (hops) to reach the memory
controller that handles this access. This brings three
main benefits. First, the network latency of off-chip
accesses gets reduced; second, the network latency of
on-chip accesses gets reduced; and finally, the memory
latency of off-chip accesses improves, due to reduced
queue latencies. We present an experimental evaluation
of our optimization strategy using a set of 13
multithreaded application programs under both private
and shared last-level caches. The results collected
emphasize the importance of optimizing the off-chip
data accesses.",

abstract = "As multicore and many-core architectures evolve, their
memory systems are becoming increasingly more complex.
To bridge the latency and bandwidth gap between the
processor and memory, they often use a mix of
multilevel private/shared caches that are either
blocking or nonblocking and are connected by high-speed
network-on-chip. Moreover, they also incorporate
hardware and software prefetching and simultaneous
multithreading (SMT) to hide memory latency. On such
multi- and many-core systems, to incorporate various
memory optimization schemes using compiler
optimizations and performance tuning techniques, it is
crucial to have microarchitectural details of the
target memory system. Unfortunately, such details are
often unavailable from vendors, especially for newly
released processors. In this article, we propose a
novel microbenchmarking methodology based on short
elapsed-time events (SETEs) to obtain comprehensive
memory microarchitectural details in multi- and
many-core processors. This approach requires detailed
analysis of potential interfering factors that could
affect the intended behavior of such memory systems. We
lay out effective guidelines to control and mitigate
those interfering factors. Taking the impact of SMT
into consideration, our proposed methodology not only
can measure traditional cache/memory latency and
off-chip bandwidth but also can uncover the details of
software and hardware prefetching units not attempted
in previous studies. Using the newly released Intel
Xeon Phi many-core processor (with in-order cores) as
an example, we show how we can use a set of
microbenchmarks to determine various microarchitectural
features of its memory system (many are undocumented
from vendors). To demonstrate the portability and
validate the correctness of such a methodology, we use
the well-documented Intel Sandy Bridge multicore
processor (with out-of-order cores) as another example,
where most data are available and can be validated.
Moreover, to illustrate the usefulness of the measured
data, we do a multistage coordinated data prefetching
case study on both Xeon Phi and Sandy Bridge and show
that by using the measured data, we can achieve 1.3X
and 1.08X performance speedup, respectively, compared
to the state-of-the-art Intel ICC compiler. We believe
that these measurements also provide useful insights
into memory optimization, analysis, and modeling of
such multicore and many-core architectures.",

Suppose that we are given a correctness proof for a

decomposed into a finite set of Hoare triples, and we
ask what can be proved from the finite set of Hoare
triples using only simple combinatorial inference rules
(without access to a theorem prover and without the
possibility to infer genuinely new Hoare triples)? We
introduce a proof system where one proves the
correctness of a multi-threaded program by showing that
for each trace of the program, there exists a
correctness proof in the space of proofs that are
derivable from a finite set of axioms using simple
combinatorial inference rules. This proof system is
complete with respect to the classical proof method of
establishing an inductive invariant (which uses thread
quantification and control predicates). Moreover, it is
possible to algorithmically check whether a given set
of axioms is sufficient to prove the correctness of a

document layout engines from compact relational
specifications. These specifications are compact in
that a single specification can produce multiple
engines, each for a distinct layout situation, i.e., a
different combination of known vs. unknown attributes.
Technically, our specifications are relational
attribute grammars, while our engines are functional
attribute grammars. By synthesizing functions from
relational constraints, we obviate the need for
constraint solving at runtime, because functional
attribute grammars can be easily evaluated according to
a fixed schedule, sidestepping the backtracking search
performed by constraint solvers. Our experiments show
that we can generate layout engines for non-trivial
data visualizations, and that our synthesized engines
are between 39- and 200-times faster than
general-purpose constraint solvers. Relational
specifications of layout give rise to synthesis
problems that have previously proved intractable. Our
algorithm exploits the hierarchical, grammar-based
structure of the specification, decomposing the
specification into smaller subproblems, which can be
tackled with off-the-shelf synthesis procedures. The
new synthesis problem then becomes the composition of
the functions thus generated into a correct attribute
grammar, which might be recursive. We show how to solve
this problem by efficient reduction to an SMT
problem.",

abstract = "Communication frequency is increasing with the growing
complexity of emerging embedded applications and the
number of processors in the implemented multiprocessor
SoC architectures. In this article, we consider the
issue of communication cost reduction during
multithreaded code generation from partitioned Simulink
models to help designers in code optimization to
improve system performance. We first propose a
technique combining message aggregation and
communication pipeline methods, which groups
communications with the same destinations and sources
and parallelizes communication and computation tasks.
We also present a method to apply static analysis and
dynamic emulation for efficient communication buffer
allocation to further reduce synchronization cost and
increase processor utilization. The existing cyclic
dependency in the mapped model may hinder the
effectiveness of the two techniques. We further propose
a set of optimizations involving repartition with
strongly connected threads to maximize the degree of
communication reduction and preprocessing strategies
with available delays in the model to reduce the number
of communication channels that cannot be optimized.
Experimental results demonstrate the advantages of the
proposed optimizations with 11--143\% throughput
improvement.",

the impact of frequency scaling for garbage collection

controlling the frequency of the core on which the

abstract = "Continuously increasing dataset sizes of large-scale
applications overwhelm on-chip cache capacities and
make the performance of last-level caches (LLC)
increasingly important. That is, in addition to
maximizing LLC hit rates, it is becoming equally
important to reduce LLC miss latencies. One of the
critical factors that influence LLC miss latencies is
row-buffer locality (i.e., the fraction of LLC misses
that hit in the large buffer attached to a memory
bank). While there has been a plethora of recent works
on optimizing row-buffer performance, to our knowledge,
there is no study that quantifies the full potential of
row-buffer locality and impact of maximizing it on
application performance. Focusing on multithreaded
applications, the first contribution of this paper is
the definition of a new metric called (memory) row
reuse distance (RRD). We show that, while intra-core
RRDs are relatively small (increasing the chances for
row-buffer hits), inter-core RRDs are quite large
(increasing the chances for row-buffer misses).
Motivated by this, we propose two schemes that measure
the maximum potential benefits that could be obtained
from minimizing RRDs, to the extent allowed by program
dependencies. Specifically, one of our schemes
(Scheme-I) targets only intra-core RRDs, whereas the
other one (Scheme-II) aims at reducing both intra-core
RRDs and inter-core RRDs. Our experimental evaluations
demonstrate that (i) Scheme-I reduces intra-core RRDs
but increases inter-core RRDs; (ii) Scheme-II reduces
inter-core RRDs significantly while achieving a similar
behavior to Scheme-I as far as intra-core RRDs are
concerned; (iii) Scheme-I and Scheme-II improve
execution times of our applications by 17\% and 21\%,
respectively, on average; and (iv) both our schemes
deliver consistently good results under different
memory request scheduling policies.",

problems in multithreaded programs. Whether all data
races are bad, or some are harmful and others are
harmless, is still the subject of vigorous scientific
debate [Narayanasamy et al. 2007; Boehm 2012]. What is
clear, however, is that today's code has many data
races [Kasikci et al. 2012; Jin et al. 2012; Erickson
et al. 2010], and fixing data races without introducing
bugs is time consuming [Godefroid and Nagappan 2008].
Therefore, it is important to efficiently identify data
races in code and understand their consequences to
prioritize their resolution. We present Portend$^+$, a
tool that not only detects races but also automatically
classifies them based on their potential consequences:
Could they lead to crashes or hangs? Could their
effects be visible outside the program? Do they appear
to be harmless? How do their effects change under weak
memory models? Our proposed technique achieves high
accuracy by efficiently analyzing multiple paths and
multiple thread schedules in combination, and by
performing symbolic comparison between program outputs.
We ran Portend$^+$ on seven real-world applications: it
detected 93 true data races and correctly classified 92
of them, with no human effort. Six of them were harmful
races. Portend$^+$ 's classification accuracy is up to
89\% higher than that of existing tools, and it
produces easy-to-understand evidence of the
consequences of ``harmful'' races, thus both proving
their harmfulness and making debugging easier. We
envision Portend$^+$ being used for testing and
debugging, as well as for automatically triaging bug
reports.",

(TM) programs are prone to race conditions. Previous
work focuses on extending existing definitions of data
race for lock-based applications to TM applications,
which requires all transactions to be totally ordered
``as if'' serialized by a global lock. This approach
poses implementation constraints on the STM that
severely limits TM applications' performance. This
article shows that forcing total ordering among all
running transactions, while sufficient, is not
necessary. We introduce an alternative data race
definition, relaxed transactional data race, that
requires ordering of only conflicting transactions. The
advantages of our relaxed definition are twofold:
First, unlike the previous definition, this definition
can be applied to a wide range of TMs, including those
that do not enforce transaction total ordering. Second,
within a single execution, it exposes a higher number
of data races, which considerably reduces debugging
time. Based on this definition, we propose a novel and
precise race detection tool for C/C++ TM applications
(TRADE), which detects data races by tracking
happens-before edges among conflicting transactions.
Our experiments reveal that TRADE precisely detects
data races for STAMP applications running on modern
STMs with overhead comparable to state-of-the-art race
detectors for lock-based applications. Our experiments
also show that in a single run, TRADE identifies
several races not discovered by 10 separate runs of a
race detection tool based on the previous data race
definition.",

abstract = "In-memory databases rely on pointer-intensive data
structures to quickly locate data in memory. A single
lookup operation in such data structures often exhibits
long-latency memory stalls due to dependent pointer
dereferences. Hiding the memory latency by launching
additional memory accesses for other lookups is an
effective way of improving performance of
pointer-chasing codes (e.g., hash table probes, tree
traversals). The ability to exploit such inter-lookup
parallelism is beyond the reach of modern out-of-order
cores due to the limited size of their instruction
window. Instead, recent work has proposed software
prefetching techniques that exploit inter-lookup
parallelism by arranging a set of independent lookups
into a group or a pipeline, and navigate their
respective pointer chains in a synchronized fashion.
While these techniques work well for highly regular
access patterns, they break down in the face of
irregularity across lookups. Such irregularity includes
variable-length pointer chains, early exit, and
read/write dependencies. This work introduces
Asynchronous Memory Access Chaining (AMAC), a new
approach for exploiting inter-lookup parallelism to
hide the memory access latency. AMAC achieves high
dynamism in dealing with irregularity across lookups by
maintaining the state of each lookup separately from
that of other lookups. This feature enables AMAC to
initiate a new lookup as soon as any of the in-flight
lookups complete. In contrast, the static arrangement
of lookups into a group or pipeline in existing
techniques precludes such adaptivity. Our results show
that AMAC matches or outperforms state-of-the-art
prefetching techniques on regular access patterns,
while delivering up to 2.3x higher performance under
irregular data structure lookups. AMAC fully utilizes
the available microarchitectural resources, generating
the maximum number of memory accesses allowed by
hardware in both single- and multi-threaded execution
modes.",

originally designed for X86 Hardware Transactional
Memory (HTM)@. It turns out that the same design
decisions also make it fast even without HTM@. For the
malloc-test benchmark, which is one of the most
difficult workloads for an allocator, with one thread
SuperMalloc is about 2.1 times faster than the best of
DLmalloc, JEmalloc, Hoard, and TBBmalloc; with 8
threads and HTM, SuperMalloc is 2.75 times faster; and
on 32 threads without HTM SuperMalloc is 3.4 times
faster. SuperMalloc generally compares favorably with
the other allocators on speed, scalability, speed
variance, memory footprint, and code size. SuperMalloc
achieves these performance advantages using less than
half as much code as the alternatives. SuperMalloc
exploits the fact that although physical memory is
always precious, virtual address space on a 64-bit
machine is relatively cheap. It allocates 2 chunks
which contain objects all the same size. To translate
chunk numbers to chunk metadata, SuperMalloc uses a
simple array (most of which is uncommitted to physical
memory). SuperMalloc takes care to avoid associativity
conflicts in the cache: most of the size classes are a
prime number of cache lines, and nonaligned huge
accesses are randomly aligned within a page. Objects
are allocated from the fullest non-full page in the
appropriate size class. For each size class,
SuperMalloc employs a 10-object per-thread cache, a
per-CPU cache that holds about a level-2-cache worth of
objects per size class, and a global cache that is
organized to allow the movement of many objects between
a per-CPU cache and the global cache using $ O(1) $
instructions. SuperMalloc prefetches everything it can
before starting a critical section, which makes the
critical sections run fast, and for HTM improves the
odds that the transaction will commit.",

problem of deciding reachability queries in
hierarchical programs where individual statements can
be encoded in a decidable logic (say in SMT). This
problem is fundamental to verification and most
directly applicable to doing bounded reachability in
programs, i.e., reachability under a bound on the
number of loop iterations and recursive calls. The
usual method of deciding reachability in hierarchical
programs is to first inline all procedures and then do
reachability on the resulting single-procedure program.
Such inlining unfolds the call graph of the program to
a tree and may lead to an exponential increase in the
size of the program. We design and evaluate a method
called DAG inlining that unfolds the call graph to a
directed acyclic graph (DAG) instead of a tree by
sharing the bodies of procedures at certain points
during inlining. DAG inlining can produce much more
compact representations than tree inlining.
Empirically, we show that it leads to significant
improvements in the running time of a state-of-the-art
verifier.",

abstract = "Reproducing concurrency bugs is a prominent challenge.
Existing techniques either rely on recording very fine
grained execution information and hence have high
runtime overhead, or strive to log as little
information as possible but provide no guarantee in
reproducing a bug. We present Light, a technique that
features much lower overhead compared to techniques
based on fine grained recording, and that guarantees to
reproduce concurrent bugs. We leverage and formally
prove that recording flow dependences is the necessary
and sufficient condition to reproduce a concurrent bug.
The flow dependences, together with the thread local
orders that can be automatically inferred (and hence
not logged), are encoded as scheduling constraints. An
SMT solver is used to derive a replay schedule, which
is guaranteed to exist even though it may be different
from the original schedule. Our experiments show that
Light has only 44\% logging overhead, almost one order
of magnitude lower than the state of the art techniques
relying on logging memory accesses. Its space overhead
is only 10\% of those techniques. Light can also
reproduce all the bugs we have collected whereas
existing techniques miss some of them.",

in practical time, Symbiosis generates DSPs that both
isolate the small fraction of event orders and

event reorderings prevent failing. In our experiments,
DSPs contain 81\% fewer events and 96\% less data-flows

commodity CPUs has major implications on the design and
implementation of main-memory databases, especially on
the architecture of high-performance lock-free indexing
methods at the core of several of these systems. This
paper studies the interplay of HTM and lock-free
indexing methods. First, we evaluate whether HTM will
obviate the need for crafty lock-free index designs by
integrating it in a traditional B-tree architecture.
HTM performs well for simple data sets with small
fixed-length keys and payloads, but its benefits
disappear for more complex scenarios (e.g., larger
variable-length keys and payloads), making it
unattractive as a general solution for achieving high
performance. Second, we explore fundamental differences
between HTM-based and lock-free B-tree designs. While
lock-freedom entails design complexity and extra
mechanism, it has performance advantages in several
scenarios, especially high-contention cases where
readers proceed uncontested (whereas HTM aborts
readers). Finally, we explore the use of HTM as a
method to simplify lock-free design. We find that using
HTM to implement a multi-word compare-and-swap greatly
reduces lock-free programming complexity at the cost of
only a 10-15\% performance degradation. Our study uses
two state-of-the-art index implementations: a
memory-optimized B-tree extended with HTM to provide
multi-threaded concurrency and the Bw-tree lock-free
B-tree used in several Microsoft production

come to an end, and thus, parallel processing is
probably the only way to achieve performance growth. We
propose the development of parallel architectures based
on data-driven scheduling. Data-driven scheduling
enforces only a partial ordering as dictated by the
true data dependencies, which is the minimum
synchronization possible. This is very beneficial for
parallel processing because it enables it to exploit
the maximum possible parallelism. We provide
architectural support for data-driven execution for the
Data-Driven Multithreading (DDM) model. In the past,
DDM has been evaluated mostly in the form of virtual
machines. The main contribution of this work is the
development of a highly efficient hardware support for
data-driven execution and its integration into a
multicore system with eight cores on a Virtex-6 FPGA.
The DDM semantics make barriers and cache coherence
unnecessary, which reduces the synchronization
latencies significantly and makes the cache simpler.
The performance evaluation has shown that the support
for data-driven execution is very efficient with
negligible overheads. Our prototype can support very
small problem sizes (matrix $ 16 \times 16$) and
ultra-lightweight threads (block of $ 4 \times 4$) that
achieve speedups close to linear. Such results cannot
be achieved by software-based systems.",

We first approach the problem in the setting of PCF, a

first relatively complete method for constructing
counterexamples for PCF programs. The method is
relatively complete with respect to a first-order
solver over the base types of PCF. In practice, this
means an SMT solver can be used for the effective,
automated generation of higher-order counterexamples
for a large class of programs. We achieve this result
by employing a novel form of symbolic execution for
higher-order programs. The remarkable aspect of this
symbolic execution is that even though symbolic
higher-order inputs and values are considered, the path
condition remains a first-order formula. Our handling
of symbolic function application enables the
reconstruction of higher-order counterexamples from
this first-order formula. After establishing our main
theoretical results, we sketch how to apply the
approach to untyped, higher-order, stateful languages
with first-class contracts and show how counterexample
generation can be used to detect contract violations in
this setting. To validate our approach, we implement a

of hand-held embedded devices, from everyday
applications to medical (e.g., monitoring devices) and
critical defense applications (e.g., sensor nodes). The
two key requirements in the design of such devices are
their processing capabilities and battery life. There
is therefore an urgency to build high-performance and
power-efficient embedded devices, inspiring researchers
to develop novel system designs for the same. The use
of a coprocessor (application-specific hardware) to
offload power-hungry computations is gaining favor
among system designers to suit their power budgets. We
propose the use of CGRAs (Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable
Arrays) as a power-efficient coprocessor. Though CGRAs
have been widely used for streaming applications, the
extensive compiler support required limits its
applicability and use as a general purpose coprocessor.
In addition, a CGRA structure can efficiently execute
only one statically scheduled kernel at a time, which
is a serious limitation when used as an accelerator to
a multithreaded or multitasking processor. In this
work, we envision a multithreaded CGRA where multiple
schedules (or kernels) can be executed simultaneously
on the CGRA (as a coprocessor). We propose a
comprehensive software scheme that transforms the
traditionally single-threaded CGRA into a multithreaded
coprocessor to be used as a power-efficient accelerator
for multithreaded embedded processors. Our software
scheme includes (1) a compiler framework that
integrates with existing CGRA mapping techniques to
prepare kernels for execution on the multithreaded CGRA
and (2) a runtime mechanism that dynamically schedules
multiple kernels (offloaded from the processor) to
execute simultaneously on the CGRA coprocessor. Our
multithreaded CGRA coprocessor implementation thus
makes it possible to achieve improved power-efficient
computing in modern multithreaded embedded systems.",

no guarantees against security violations on system
resources such as files and sockets. Operating system
solutions mediate accesses to system resources but are
either inefficient or imprecise at monitoring the flow
of information through fine-grained program data
structures. This article describes Laminar, the first
system to implement DIFC using a unified set of
abstractions for OS resources and heap-allocated
objects. Programmers express security policies by
labeling data with secrecy and integrity labels and
access the labeled data in security methods. Laminar
enforces the security policies specified by the labels
at runtime. Laminar is implemented using a modified
Java virtual machine and a new Linux security module.
This article shows that security methods ease
incremental deployment and limit dynamic security
checks by retrofitting DIFC policies on four
application case studies. Replacing the applications'
ad hoc security policies changes less than 10\% of the
code and incurs performance overheads from 5\% to 56\%.
Compared to prior DIFC systems, Laminar supports a more
general class of multithreaded DIFC programs
efficiently and integrates language and OS
abstractions.",

abstract = "Several studies and recent real-world designs have
promoted sharing of underutilized resources between
cores in a multicore processor to achieve better
performance/power. It has been argued that when
utilization of such resources is low, sharing has a
negligible impact on performance while offering
considerable area and power benefits. In this article,
we investigate the performance and performance/watt
implications of sharing large and underutilized
resources between pairs of cores in a multicore. We
first study sharing of the entire floating-point
datapath (including reservation stations and execution
units) by two cores, similar to AMD's Bulldozer. We
find that while this architecture results in power
savings for certain workload combinations, it also
results in significant performance loss of up to 28\%.
Next, we study an alternative sharing architecture
where only the floating-point execution units are
shared, while the individual cores retain their
reservation stations. This reduces the highest
performance loss to 14\%. We then extend the study to
include sharing of other large execution units that are
used infrequently, namely, the integer multiply and
divide units. Subsequently, we analyze the impact of
sharing hardware resources in Simultaneously
Multithreaded (SMT) processors where multiple threads
run concurrently on the same core. We observe that
sharing improves performance/watt at a negligible
performance cost only if the shared units have high
throughput. Sharing low-throughput units reduces both
performance and performance/watt. To increase the
throughput of the shared units, we propose the use of
Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Boosting (DVFB) of only
the shared units that can be placed on a separate
voltage island. Our results indicate that the use of
DVFB improves both performance and performance/watt by
as much as 22\% and 10\%, respectively.",

abstract = "Subtle concurrency errors in multithreaded libraries
that arise because of incorrect or inadequate
synchronization are often difficult to pinpoint
precisely using only static techniques. On the other
hand, the effectiveness of dynamic race detectors is
critically dependent on multithreaded test suites whose
execution can be used to identify and trigger races.
Usually, such multithreaded tests need to invoke a
specific combination of methods with objects involved
in the invocations being shared appropriately to expose
a race. Without a priori knowledge of the race,
construction of such tests can be challenging. In this
paper, we present a lightweight and scalable technique
for synthesizing precisely these kinds of tests. Given
a multithreaded library and a sequential test suite, we
describe a fully automated analysis that examines
sequential execution traces, and produces as its output
a concurrent client program that drives shared objects
via library method calls to states conducive for
triggering a race. Experimental results on a variety of
well-tested Java libraries yield 101 synthesized
multithreaded tests in less than four minutes.
Analyzing the execution of these tests using an
off-the-shelf race detector reveals 187 harmful races,
including several previously unreported ones. Our

resiliency schemes have been developed with high
coverage but high power/performance overheads (similar
to 2x). We observe that not all soft-errors affect
program correctness, some soft-errors only affect
program accuracy, i.e., the program completes with
certain acceptable deviations from soft-error free
outcome. Thus, it is practical to improve processor
efficiency by trading off resilience overheads with
program accuracy. We propose the idea of declarative
resilience that selectively applies resilience schemes
to both crucial and non-crucial code, while ensuring
program correctness. At the application level, crucial
and non-crucial code is identified based on its impact
on the program outcome. The hardware collaborates with
software support to enable efficient resilience with
100 percent soft-error coverage. Only program accuracy
is compromised in the worst-case scenario of a
soft-error strike during non-crucial code execution.
For a set of multithreaded benchmarks, declarative
resilience improves completion time by an average of 21
percent over state-of-the-art hardware resilience
scheme that protects all executed code. Its performance
overhead is similar to 1.38x over a multicore that does
not support resilience.",

alternative to locks by improving programmability,
reliability, and scalability. However, existing STMs

LarkTM that provides three significant features. (1)
Its instrumentation adds low overhead except when
accesses actually conflict, enabling low single-thread
overhead and scaling well on low-contention workloads.
(2) It uses eager concurrency control mechanisms, yet
naturally supports flexible conflict resolution,
enabling strong progress guarantees. (3) It naturally
provides strong atomicity semantics at low cost.
LarkTM's design works well for low-contention
workloads, but adds significant overhead under higher
contention, so we design an adaptive version of LarkTM
that uses alternative concurrency control for
high-contention objects. An implementation and
evaluation in a Java virtual machine show that the
basic and adaptive versions of LarkTM not only provide
low single-thread overhead, but their multithreaded
performance compares favorably with existing

abstract = "Despite its promise as a DRAM main memory replacement,
Phase Change Memory (PCM) has high write latencies
which can be a serious detriment to its widespread
adoption. Apart from slowing down a write request, the
consequent high latency can also keep other chips of
the same rank, that are not involved in this write,
idle for long times. There are several practical
considerations that make it difficult to allow
subsequent reads and/or writes to be served
concurrently from the same chips during the long
latency write. This paper proposes and evaluates
several novel mechanisms --- re-constructing data from
error correction bits instead of waiting for chips
currently busy to serve a read, rotating word mappings
across chips of a PCM rank, and rotating the mapping of
error detection/correction bits across these chips ---
to overlap several reads with an ongoing write (RoW)
and even a write with an ongoing write (WoW). The paper
also presents the necessary micro-architectural
enhancements needed to implement these mechanisms,
without significantly changing the current interfaces.
The resulting PCM access parallelism (PCMap) system
incorporating these enhancements, boosts the
intra-rank-level parallelism during such writes from a
very low baseline value of 2.4 to an average and
maximum values of 4.5 and 7.4, respectively (out of a
maximum of 8.0), across a wide spectrum of both
multiprogrammed and multithreaded workloads. This boost
in parallelism results in an average IPC improvement of
15.6\% and 16.7\% for the multiprogrammed and
multithreaded workloads, respectively.",

abstract = "To enable performance improvements in a
power-efficient manner, computer architects have been
building CPUs that exploit greater amounts of
thread-level parallelism. A key consideration in such
CPUs is properly designing the on-chip cache hierarchy.
Unfortunately, this can be hard to do, especially for
CPUs with high core counts and large amounts of cache.
The enormous design space formed by the combinatorial
number of ways in which to organize the cache hierarchy
makes it difficult to identify power-efficient
configurations. Moreover, the problem is exacerbated by
the slow speed of architectural simulation, which is
the primary means for conducting such design space
studies. A powerful tool that can help architects
optimize CPU cache hierarchies is reuse distance (RD)
analysis. Recent work has extended uniprocessor RD
techniques-i.e., by introducing concurrent RD and
private-stack RD profiling-to enable analysis of
different types of caches in multicore CPUs. Once
acquired, parallel locality profiles can predict the
performance of numerous cache configurations,
permitting highly efficient design space exploration.
To date, existing work on multicore RD analysis has
focused on developing the profiling techniques and
assessing their accuracy. Unfortunately, there has been
no work on using RD analysis to optimize CPU
performance or power consumption. This article
investigates applying multicore RD analysis to identify
the most power efficient cache configurations for a
multicore CPU. First, we develop analytical models that
use the cache-miss counts from parallel locality
profiles to estimate CPU performance and power
consumption. Although future scalable CPUs will likely
employ multithreaded (and even out-of-order) cores, our
current study assumes single-threaded in-order cores to
simplify the models, allowing us to focus on the cache
hierarchy and our RD-based techniques. Second, to
demonstrate the utility of our techniques, we apply our
models to optimize a large-scale tiled CPU architecture
with a two-level cache hierarchy. We show that the most
power efficient configuration varies considerably
across different benchmarks, and that our locality
profiles provide deep insights into why certain
configurations are power efficient. We also show that
picking the best configuration can provide significant
gains, as there is a 2.01x power efficiency spread
across our tiled CPU design space. Finally, we validate
the accuracy of our techniques using detailed
simulation. Among several simulated configurations, our
techniques can usually pick the most power efficient
configuration, or one that is very close to the best.
In addition, across all simulated configurations, we
can predict power efficiency with 15.2\% error.",

open architecture frameworks for simulation, synthesis,

research prototypes from 1 core to 500 million cores.
OpenPiton is the world's first open source,

OpenSPARC T1 core with modifications and builds upon it
with a scratch-built, scalable uncore creating a
flexible, modern manycore design. In addition,
OpenPiton provides synthesis and backend scripts for
ASIC and FPGA to enable other researchers to bring
their designs to implementation. OpenPiton provides a
complete verification infrastructure of over 8000
tests, is supported by mature software tools, runs
full-stack multiuser Debian Linux, and is written in

software systems that are both scalable and correct.
Runtime support for parallelism---such as multithreaded
record {\&} replay, data race detectors, transactional
memory, and enforcement of stronger memory
models---helps achieve these goals, but existing
commodity solutions slow programs substantially in
order to track (i.e., detect or control) an execution's
cross-thread dependences accurately. Prior work tracks
cross-thread dependences either ``pessimistically,''
slowing every program access, or ``optimistically,''
allowing for lightweight instrumentation of most
accesses but dramatically slowing accesses involved in
cross-thread dependences. This paper seeks to hybridize
pessimistic and optimistic tracking, which is
challenging because there exists a fundamental mismatch
between pessimistic and optimistic tracking. We address
this challenge based on insights about how dependence
tracking and program synchronization interact, and
introduce a novel approach called hybrid tracking.
Hybrid tracking is suitable for building efficient
runtime support, which we demonstrate by building
hybrid-tracking-based versions of a dependence recorder
and a region serializability enforcer. An adaptive,
profile-based policy makes runtime decisions about
switching between pessimistic and optimistic tracking.
Our evaluation shows that hybrid tracking enables
runtime support to overcome the performance limitations
of both pessimistic and optimistic tracking alone.",

abstract = "As hardware becomes increasingly parallel and the
availability of scalable parallel software improves,
the problem of managing multiple multithreaded
applications (processes) becomes important. Malleable
processes, which can vary the number of threads used as
they run, enable sophisticated and flexible resource
management. Although many existing applications
parallelized for SMPs with parallel runtimes are in
fact already malleable, deployed runtime environments
provide no interface nor any strategy for intelligently
allocating hardware threads or even preventing
oversubscription. Prior research methods either depend
on profiling applications ahead of time to make good
decisions about allocations or do not account for
process efficiency at all, leading to poor performance.
None of these prior methods have been adapted widely in
practice. This article presents the Scheduling and
Allocation with Feedback (SCAF) system: a drop-in
runtime solution that supports existing malleable
applications in making intelligent allocation decisions
based on observed efficiency without any changes to
semantics, program modification, offline profiling, or
even recompilation. Our existing implementation can
control most unmodified OpenMP applications. Other
malleable threading libraries can also easily be
supported with small modifications without requiring
application modification or recompilation. In this
work, we present the SCAF daemon and a SCAF-aware port
of the GNU OpenMP runtime. We present a new technique
for estimating process efficiency purely at runtime
using available hardware counters and demonstrate its
effectiveness in aiding allocation decisions. We
evaluated SCAF using NAS NPB parallel benchmarks on
five commodity parallel platforms, enumerating
architectural features and their effects on our scheme.
We measured the benefit of SCAF in terms of sum of
speedups improvement (a common metric for
multiprogrammed environments) when running all
benchmark pairs concurrently compared to
equipartitioning-the best existing competing scheme in
the literature. We found that SCAF improves on
equipartitioning on four out of five machines, showing
a mean improvement factor in sum of speedups of 1.04 to
1.11x for benchmark pairs, depending on the machine,
and 1.09x on average. Since we are not aware of any
widely available tool for equipartitioning, we also
compare SCAF against multiprogramming using unmodified
OpenMP, which is the only environment available to end
users today. SCAF improves on the unmodified OpenMP
runtimes for all five machines, with a mean improvement
of 1.08 to 2.07x, depending on the machine, and 1.59x
on average.",

languages are in widespread use, but their support for

that the sophisticated techniques they use to
efficiently represent their dynamic object models are
often unsafe in multithreaded environments. This paper
defines safety requirements for dynamic object models
in multithreaded environments. Based on these
requirements, a language-agnostic and thread-safe
object model is designed that maintains the efficiency
of sequential approaches. This is achieved by ensuring
that field reads do not require synchronization and
field updates only need to synchronize on objects
shared between threads. Basing our work on
JRuby+Truffle, we show that our safe object model has
zero overhead on peak performance for thread-local
objects and only 3\% average overhead on parallel
benchmarks where field updates require synchronization.
Thus, it can be a foundation for safe and efficient
multithreaded VMs for a wide range of dynamic

a pipeline of small computational kernels known as
stencils. Halide is a popular domain-specific language

algorithms. Halide uses simple language constructs to
express what to compute and a separate scheduling
co-language for expressing when and where to perform
the computation. This approach has demonstrated
performance comparable to or better than hand-optimized
code. Until now, however, Halide has been restricted to
parallel shared memory execution, limiting its
performance for memory-bandwidth-bound pipelines or

abstract = "The rise of general-purpose computing on GPUs has
influenced architectural innovation on them. The
introduction of an on-chip cache hierarchy is one such
innovation. High L1 miss rates on GPUs, however,
indicate inefficient cache usage due to myriad factors,
such as cache thrashing and extensive multithreading.
Such high L1 miss rates in turn place high demands on
the shared L2 bandwidth. Extensive congestion in the L2
access path therefore results in high memory access
latencies. In memory-intensive applications, these
latencies get exposed due to a lack of active compute
threads to mask such high latencies. In this article,
we aim to reduce the pressure on the shared L2
bandwidth, thereby reducing the memory access latencies
that lie in the critical path. We identify significant
replication of data among private L1 caches, presenting
an opportunity to reuse data among L1s. We further show
how this reuse can be exploited via an L1 Cooperative
Caching Network (CCN), thereby reducing the bandwidth
demand on L2. In the proposed architecture, we connect
the L1 caches with a lightweight ring network to
facilitate intercore communication of shared data. We
show that this technique reduces traffic to the L2
cache by an average of 29\%, freeing up the bandwidth
for other accesses. We also show that the CCN reduces
the average memory latency by 24\%, thereby reducing
core stall cycles by 26\% on average. This translates
into an overall performance improvement of 14.7\% on
average (and up to 49\%) for applications that exhibit
reuse across L1 caches. In doing so, the CCN incurs a
nominal area and energy overhead of 1.3\% and 2.5\%,
respectively. Notably, the performance improvement with
our proposed CCN compares favorably to the performance
improvement achieved by simply doubling the number of
L2 banks by up to 34\%.",

abstract = "The performance of user-facing applications is
critical to client platforms. Many of these
applications are event-driven and exhibit ``bursty''
behavior: the application is generally idle but
generates bursts of activity in response to human
interaction. We study one example of a bursty
application, web-browsers, and produce two important
insights: (1) Activity bursts contain false
parallelism, bringing many cores out of a deep sleep to
inefficiently render a single webpage, and (2) these
bursts are highly compute driven, and thus scale nearly
linearly with frequency. We show average performance
gains/energy reductions of 14\%/17\% respectively on
real hardware by statically moving threads from
multiple cores to a single core. We then propose
dynamic hardware driven thread migration and scheduling
enhancements that detect these bursts, leading to
further benefits.",

energy moving data. With the increase in core count,
the relative importance of such latency and energy

communication traffic when executing a multithreaded
application is one such source of latency and energy
expenditure. This traffic is influenced by the mapping
of threads and data onto multicore systems. This paper
investigates the impact of threads and data mapping on
traffic in a chip-multiprocessor, and exploits the
potential for traffic reduction through threads and
data mapping. Based on the analysis and estimation of
the lowest traffic, we propose a threads and data
mapping mechanism to approach the lowest traffic. The
mapping takes both the correlation among threads and
the affinity of data with individual threads into

abstract = "Verifying concurrent programs is challenging due to
the exponentially large thread interleaving space. The
problem is exacerbated by relaxed memory models such as
Total Store Order (TSO) and Partial Store Order (PSO)
which further explode the interleaving space by
reordering instructions. A recent advance, Maximal
Causality Reduction (MCR), has shown great promise to
improve verification effectiveness by maximally
reducing redundant explorations. However, the original
MCR only works for the Sequential Consistency (SC)
memory model, but not for TSO and PSO. In this paper,
we develop novel extensions to MCR by solving two key
problems under TSO and PSO: (1) generating
interleavings that can reach new states by encoding the
operational semantics of TSO and PSO with first-order
logical constraints and solving them with SMT solvers,
and (2) enforcing TSO and PSO interleavings by
developing novel replay algorithms that allow
executions out of the program order. We show that our
approach successfully enables MCR to effectively
explore TSO and PSO interleavings. We have compared our
approach with a recent Dynamic Partial Order Reduction
(DPOR) algorithm for TSO and PSO and a SAT-based
stateless model checking approach. Our results show
that our approach is much more effective than the other
approaches for both state-space exploration and bug
finding --- on average it explores 5-10X fewer
executions and finds many bugs that the other tools
cannot find.",

data races in multithreaded programs with incomplete
trace information, i.e., in the presence of missing

report any false alarms and it detects a maximal set of
true traces from the observed incomplete trace. RDIT is
underpinned by a sound BarrierPair model that abstracts
away the missing events by capturing the invocation
data of their enclosing methods. By making the least
conservative abstraction that a missing method
introduces synchronization only when it has a memory
address in scope that overlaps with other events or
other missing methods, and by formulating maximal
thread causality as logical constraints, RDIT
guarantees to precisely detect races with maximal
capability. RDIT has been applied in seven real-world
large concurrent systems and has detected dozens of
true races with zero false alarms. Comparatively,
existing algorithms such as Happens-Before,
Causal-Precedes, and Maximal-Causality which are known
to be precise all report many false alarms when missing

abstract = "Sampled microarchitectural simulation of
single-threaded applications is mature technology for
over a decade now. Sampling multithreaded applications,
on the other hand, is much more complicated. Not until
very recently have researchers proposed solutions for
sampled simulation of multithreaded applications.
Time-Based Sampling (TBS) samples multithreaded
application execution based on time---not instructions
as is typically done for single-threaded
applications---yielding estimates for a multithreaded
application's execution time. In this article, we
revisit and analyze previously proposed TBS approaches
(periodic and cantor fractal based sampling), and we
obtain a number of novel and surprising insights, such
as (i) accurately estimating fast-forwarding IPC, that
is, performance in-between sampling units, is more
important than accurately estimating sample IPC, that
is, performance within the sampling units; (ii)
fast-forwarding IPC estimation accuracy is determined
by both the sampling unit distribution and how to use
the sampling units to predict fast-forwarding IPC; and
(iii) cantor sampling is more accurate at small
sampling unit sizes, whereas periodic is more accurate
at large sampling unit sizes. These insights lead to
the development of Two-level Hybrid Sampling (THS), a
novel sampling methodology for multithreaded
applications that combines periodic sampling's accuracy
at large time scales (i.e., uniformly selecting
coarse-grain sampling units across the entire program
execution) with cantor sampling's accuracy at small
time scales (i.e., the ability to accurately predict
fast-forwarding IPC in-between small sampling units).
The clustered occurrence of small sampling units under
cantor sampling also enables shortened warmup and thus
enhanced simulation speed. Overall, THS achieves an
average absolute execution time prediction error of 4\%
while yielding an average simulation speedup of 40 $
\times $ compared to detailed simulation, which is both
more accurate and faster than the current
state-of-the-art. Case studies illustrate THS' ability
to accurately predict relative performance differences
across the design space.",

misses on modern big memory applications, substantially
degrading the performance of the system. Large (e.g., 1
GB) pages or direct segments can alleviate this penalty
due to page table walks, but at the same time such a
strategy exposes the organizational and operational
details of modern DRAM-based memory systems to
applications. Row-buffer conflicts caused by accesses
heading to the same DRAM bank but different rows from
multiple threads are regarded as the main culprits
behind the very large gaps between peak and achieved
main memory throughput, but hardware-based approaches
in memory controllers have achieved only limited
success whereas existing proposals that change memory
allocators cannot be applied to large pages or direct
segments. In this paper, we propose a set of
application-level techniques to improve the effective
main memory bandwidth. The techniques stem from the two
key observations that (1) each thread of an application
exclusively accesses certain datasets for a short or
long period of time, and (2) superfluous memory reads
originating from a cache's write allocation policy can
be avoided if scatters during the data shuffling pass
through intermediate cache-friendly buffers.
Experiments with a contemporary x86 server show that
combining large pages with the proposed address
linearization, bank coloring, and write streaming
techniques improves the performance of the three big
memory applications of high-throughput key-value store,
fast-Fourier transform, and radix sort by 37.6, 22.9,

to deal with big data applications efficiently: their
execution model suffers from scalability limitations on
GPUs whose memory capacity is limited; existing systems
fail to consider the discrepancy between fast GPUs and
slow storage, which can counteract the benefit of GPU
accelerators. In this paper, we propose HippogriffDB,
an efficient, scalable GPU-accelerated OLAP system. It
tackles the bandwidth discrepancy using compression and
an optimized data transfer path. HippogriffDB stores
tables in a compressed format and uses the GPU for
decompression, trading GPU cycles for the improved I/O
bandwidth. To improve the data transfer efficiency,
HippogriffDB introduces a peer-to-peer, multi-threaded
data transfer mechanism, directly transferring data
from the SSD to the GPU. HippogriffDB adopts a
query-over-block execution model that provides
scalability using a stream-based approach. The model
improves kernel efficiency with the operator fusion and
double buffering mechanism. We have implemented
HippogriffDB using an NVMe SSD, which talks directly to
a commercial GPU. Results on two popular benchmarks
demonstrate its scalability and efficiency.
HippogriffDB outperforms existing GPU-based databases
(YDB) and in-memory data analytics (MonetDB) by 1-2
orders of magnitude.",

parallelized using multi-threading based on a
master-slave coprocessing model. After gaining the BWT,
the suffix array is constructed in a memory-efficient
manner. The performance of ParaBWT has been evaluated
using two sequences generated from two human genome
assemblies: the Ensembl Homo sapiens assembly and the
human reference genome. Our performance comparison to
FMD-index and Bwt-disk reveals that on 12 CPU cores,
ParaBWT runs up to $ 2.2 \times $ faster than FMD-index
and up to $ 99.0 \times $ faster than Bwt-disk. BWT
construction algorithms for very long genomic sequences
are time consuming and (due to their incremental
nature) inherently difficult to parallelize. Thus,
their parallelization is challenging and even
relatively small speedups like the ones of our method

processing platform across different domains such as
data centers, real-time systems, and mobile devices. In
all those domains, energy is arguably the most
expensive resource in a computing system. Accurately
quantifying energy usage in a multicore environment
presents a challenge as well as an opportunity for
optimization. Standard metering approaches are not
capable of delivering consistent results with shared
resources, since the same task with the same inputs may
have different energy consumption based on the mix of
co-running tasks. However, it is reasonable for
data-center operators to charge on the basis of
estimated energy usage rather than time since energy is
more correlated with their actual cost. This article
introduces the concept of Sensible Energy Accounting
(SEA). For a task running in a multicore system, SEA
accurately estimates the energy the task would have
consumed running in isolation with a given fraction of
the CMP shared resources. We explain the potential
benefits of SEA in different domains and describe two
hardware techniques to implement it for a shared
last-level cache and on-core resources in SMT

the prefetching requests from different threads on a

degradation due to shared resource contention on shared

mechanism that informs the hardware about which
prefetching request can cause shared data invalidation

acceleration mechanism to estimate and accelerate the
critical thread which has the longest completion time
in the parallel region of execution. On a set of
multithreaded parallel benchmarks, our thread-aware
data prefetching mechanism improves the overall
performance of 64-core system by 13\% over a multimode

current multicore systems is hampered by the
performance of lock algorithms, due to the costs of
access contention and cache misses. The main
contribution presented in this article is a new locking
technique, Remote Core Locking (RCL), that aims to
accelerate the execution of critical sections in legacy
applications on multicore architectures. The idea of
RCL is to replace lock acquisitions by optimized remote
procedure calls to a dedicated server hardware thread.
RCL limits the performance collapse observed with other
lock algorithms when many threads try to acquire a lock
concurrently and removes the need to transfer
lock-protected shared data to the hardware thread
acquiring the lock, because such data can typically
remain in the server's cache. Other contributions
presented in this article include a profiler that
identifies the locks that are the bottlenecks in
multithreaded applications and that can thus benefit
from RCL, and a reengineering tool that transforms
POSIX lock acquisitions into RCL locks. Eighteen
applications were used to evaluate RCL: the nine
applications of the SPLASH-2 benchmark suite, the seven
applications of the Phoenix 2 benchmark suite,
Memcached, and Berkeley DB with a TPC-C client. Eight
of these applications are unable to scale because of
locks and benefit from RCL on an x86 machine with four
AMD Opteron processors and 48 hardware threads. By
using RCL instead of Linux POSIX locks, performance is
improved by up to 2.5 times on Memcached, and up to
11.6 times on Berkeley DB with the TPC-C client. On a
SPARC machine with two Sun Ultrasparc T2+ processors
and 128 hardware threads, three applications benefit
from RCL. In particular, performance is improved by up
to 1.3 times with respect to Solaris POSIX locks on
Memcached, and up to 7.9 times on Berkeley DB with the
TPC-C client.",

Data-race-free (DRF) models, such as the C++11 memory
model, guarantee SC execution for data-race-free
programs. But these models provide no guarantee at all
for racy programs, compromising the safety and
debuggability of such programs. To address the safety
issue, the Java memory model, which is also based on
the DRF model, provides a weak semantics for racy
executions. However, this semantics is subtle and
complex, making it difficult for programmers to reason
about their programs and for compiler writers to ensure
the correctness of compiler optimizations. We present
the drf x memory model, which is simple for programmers
to understand and use while still supporting many
common optimizations. We introduce a memory model (MM)
exception that can be signaled to halt execution. If a
program executes without throwing this exception, then
drf x guarantees that the execution is SC. If a program
throws an MM exception during an execution, then drf x
guarantees that the program has a data race. We observe
that SC violations can be detected in hardware through
a lightweight form of conflict detection. Furthermore,
our model safely allows aggressive compiler and
hardware optimizations within compiler-designated

a new exact-search alignment tool BowMapCL based on the

Contrasting to other alternatives, BowMapCL is based on
a unified implementation using OpenCL, allowing the
exploitation of multiple and possibly different devices

Furthermore, to efficiently exploit such heterogeneous

multi-dimensional arrays that arise in scientific
applications, which is part of a larger scientific data
management system called TileDB. In contrast to
existing solutions, TileDB is optimized for both dense
and sparse arrays. Its key idea is to organize array
elements into ordered collections called fragments.
Each fragment is dense or sparse, and groups contiguous
array elements into data tiles of fixed capacity. The
organization into fragments turns random writes into
sequential writes, and, coupled with a novel read
algorithm, leads to very efficient reads. TileDB
enables parallelization via multi-threading and
multi-processing, offering thread-/process-safety and
atomicity via lightweight locking. We show that TileDB
delivers comparable performance to the HDF5 dense array
storage manager, while providing much faster random
writes. We also show that TileDB offers substantially
faster reads and writes than the SciDB array database
system with both dense and sparse arrays. Finally, we
demonstrate that TileDB is considerably faster than
adaptations of the Vertica relational column-store for
dense array storage management, and at least as fast
for the case of sparse arrays.",

abstract = "JavaScript is a dynamic language mainly used as a
client-side web script. Nowadays, web is evolving into
an application platform with its web apps, and
JavaScript increasingly undertakes complex computations
and interactive user interfaces, requiring a
high-performance JavaScript engine. There have been
many optimizations for efficient JavaScript engines,
but one component that has not been optimized much is
JavaScript parsing. A JavaScript function needs to be
parsed before being executed, and the parsing overhead
takes a substantial portion of JavaScript execution
time for web apps, especially during app loading. This
article proposes concurrent parsing of JavaScript,
which performs the parsing of JavaScript functions in
advance on different threads, while the main thread is
executing the parsed JavaScript functions. This can
hide the parsing overhead from the main execution
thread, reducing the JavaScript execution time, thus
reducing the overall app loading time. More
specifically, we separated JavaScript parsing and made
it run on different threads without violating the
execution semantics of JavaScript. We also designed an
efficient multi-threaded parsing architecture, which
reduces the synchronization overhead and schedules the
parsing requests appropriately. Finally, we explored
two methods of choosing the target functions for
concurrent parsing: one based on profiled information
and the other based on speculative heuristics. We
performed experiments on the WebKit browser with the
JSC engine for real web apps. The result shows that the
proposed concurrent parsing can improve the JavaScript
performance during app loading by as much as 64\% and
by 39.7\% on average. This improves the whole app
loading performance tangibly, by as much as 32.7\% and
by 18.2\%, on average.",

levels of CPU utilization, load cannot be measured in
terms of the number of threads alone. We propose
Tumbler that migrates the threads of a multithreaded
program across multiple CPUs to balance the load across
the CPUs. While Tumbler distributes the threads equally
across the CPUs, its assignment of threads to CPUs is
aimed at minimizing the variation in utilization of
different CPUs to achieve load balance. We evaluated

application can prolong the average object lifespan,
which results in less effective garbage collection. We
also find that prolonging lifespan is the direct result
of Linux's Completely Fair Scheduler due to its
round-robin like behavior that can increase the heap
contention between the application threads. Instead, if
we use pseudo first-in-first-out to schedule
application threads in large multicore systems, the
garbage collection scalability is significantly
improved while the time spent in garbage collection is
reduced by as much as 21\%. The average execution time
of the 24 Java applications used in our study is also
reduced by 11\%. Based on this observation, we propose
two approaches to optimally select scheduling policies

abstract = "Detecting concurrency-induced bugs in multithreaded
libraries can be challenging due to the intricacies
associated with their manifestation. This includes
invocation of multiple methods, synthesis of inputs to
the methods to reach the failing location, and crafting
of thread interleavings that cause the erroneous
behavior. Neither fuzzing-based testing techniques nor
over-approximate static analyses are well positioned to
detect such subtle defects while retaining high
accuracy alongside satisfactory coverage. In this
paper, we propose a directed, iterative and scalable
testing engine that combines the strengths of static
and dynamic analysis to help synthesize concurrent
executions to expose complex concurrency-induced bugs.
Our engine accepts as input the library, its client
(either sequential or concurrent) and a specification
of correctness. Then, it iteratively refines the client
to generate an execution that can break the input
specification. Each step of the iterative process
includes statically identifying sub-goals towards the
goal of failing the specification, generating a plan
toward meeting these goals, and merging of the paths
traversed dynamically with the plan computed statically
via constraint solving to generate a new client. The
engine reports full reproduction scenarios, guaranteed
to be true, for the bugs it finds. We have created a
prototype of our approach named MINION. We validated
MINION by applying it to well-tested concurrent classes
from popular Java libraries, including the latest
versions of OpenJDK and Google-Guava. We were able to
detect 31 real crashes across 10 classes in a total of
23 minutes, including previously unknown bugs.
Comparison with three other tools reveals that
combined, they report only 9 of the 31 crashes (and no
other crashes beyond MINION). This is because several
of these bugs manifest under deeply nested path
conditions (observed maximum of 11), deep nesting of
method invocations (observed maximum of 6) and multiple
refinement iterations to generate the crash-inducing
client.",

These resources eliminate false ordering dependences.
However, because thread interleaving spreads dependent

issue in program order after all false dependences have
resolved. These in-sequence instructions interleave
with other reordered instructions at a fine granularity
within the instruction window. We develop a technique
to efficiently scale in-flight instructions through a
hybrid out-of-order/in-order microarchitecture, which
can dispatch instructions to efficient in-order
scheduling mechanisms---using a FIFO issue queue called
the shelf ---on an instruction-by-instruction basis.
Instructions dispatched to the shelf do not allocate
out-of-order core resources in the reorder buffer,
issue queue, physical registers, or load-store queues.
We measure opportunity for such hybrid
microarchitectures and design and evaluate a practical
dispatch mechanism targeted at 4-threaded cores. Adding
a shelf to a baseline 4-thread system with 64-entry ROB
improves normalized system throughput by 11.5\% (up to

traditional transactions that appear to execute in a
nondeterministic order that can change from execution

protocol that exploits the serialization order to
distinguish between fast and speculative transaction
execution modes in order to mitigate the overhead of
imposing a deterministic order. We build two Pot
prototypes: one using STM and another using
off-the-shelf HTM. To the best of our knowledge, Pot
enables deterministic execution of programs using
off-the-shelf HTM for the first time. An experimental

abstract = "With the degree of parallelism increasing, performance
of multi-threaded shared variable applications is not
only limited by serialized critical section execution,
but also by the serialized competition overhead for
threads to get access to critical section. As the
number of concurrent threads grows, such competition
overhead may exceed the time spent in critical section
itself, and become the dominating factor limiting the
performance of parallel applications. In modern
operating systems, queue spinlock, which comprises a
low-overhead spinning phase and a high-overhead
sleeping phase, is often used to lock critical
sections. In the paper, we show that this advanced
locking solution may create very high competition
overhead for multithreaded applications executing in
NoC-based CMPs. Then we propose a software-hardware
cooperative mechanism that can opportunistically
maximize the chance that a thread wins the critical
section access in the low-overhead spinning phase,
thereby reducing the competition overhead. At the OS
primitives level, we monitor the remaining times of
retry (RTR) in a thread's spinning phase, which
reflects in how long the thread must enter into the
high-overhead sleep mode. At the hardware level, we
integrate the RTR information into the packets of
locking requests, and let the NoC prioritize locking
request packets according to the RTR information. The
principle is that the smaller RTR a locking request
packet carries, the higher priority it gets and thus
quicker delivery. We evaluate our opportunistic
competition overhead reduction technique with
cycle-accurate full-system simulations in GEM5 using
PARSEC (11 programs) and SPEC OMP2012 (14 programs)
benchmarks. Compared to the original queue spinlock
implementation, experimental results show that our
method can effectively increase the opportunity of
threads entering the critical section in low-overhead
spinning phase, reducing the competition overhead
averagely by 39.9\% (maximally by 61.8\%) and
accelerating the execution of the Region-of-Interest
averagely by 14.4\% (maximally by 24.5\%) across all 25
benchmark programs.",

abstract = "Current parallelizing compilers can tackle
applications exercising regular access patterns on
arrays or affine indices, where data dependencies can
be expressed in a linear form. Unfortunately, there are
cases that independence between statements of code
cannot be guaranteed and thus the compiler
conservatively produces sequential code. Programs that
involve extensive pointer use, irregular access
patterns, and loops with unknown number of iterations
are examples of such cases. This limits the extraction
of parallelism in cases where dependencies are rarely
or never triggered at runtime. Speculative parallelism
refers to methods employed during program execution
that aim to produce a valid parallel execution schedule
for programs immune to static parallelization. The
motivation for this article is to review recent
developments in the area of compiler-driven software
speculation for thread-level parallelism and how they
came about. The article is divided into two parts. In
the first part the fundamentals of speculative
parallelization for thread-level parallelism are
explained along with a design choice categorization for
implementing such systems. Design choices include the
ways speculative data is handled, how data dependence
violations are detected and resolved, how the correct
data are made visible to other threads, or how
speculative threads are scheduled. The second part is
structured around those design choices providing the
advances and trends in the literature with reference to
key developments in the area. Although the focus of the
article is in software speculative parallelization, a
section is dedicated for providing the interested
reader with pointers and references for exploring
similar topics such as hardware thread-level
speculation, transactional memory, and automatic
parallelization.",

multi-threaded software. Its performance is especially
critical in multi-socket, multi-core machines with
non-uniform memory access (NUMA). Previous schemes such
as local locking and remote locking only perform well
under a certain level of contention, and often require
non-trivial tuning for a particular configuration.
Besides, for large NUMA systems, because of unmanaged
lock server's nomination, current distance-first NUMA
policies cannot perform satisfactorily. In this work,
we propose SANL, a locking scheme that can deliver high
performance under various contention levels by
adaptively switching between the local and the remote
lock scheme. Furthermore, we introduce a new NUMA
policy for the remote lock that jointly considers node
distances and server utilization when choosing lock
servers. A comparison with seven representative locking
schemes shows that SANL outperforms the others in most
contention situations. In one group test, SANL is 3.7
times faster than RCL lock and 17 times faster than
POSIX mutex.",

shared-memory multithreaded programs, but the high
runtime overhead prevents the wide use of dynamic data
race detectors. This paper presents TxRace, a new
software data race detector that leverages commodity
hardware transactional memory (HTM) to speed up data
race detection. TxRace instruments a multithreaded
program to transform synchronization-free regions into
transactions, and exploits the conflict detection
mechanism of HTM for lightweight data race detection at
runtime. However, the limitations of the current
best-effort commodity HTMs expose several challenges in
using them for data race detection: (1) lack of ability
to pinpoint racy instructions, (2) false positives
caused by cache line granularity of conflict detection,
and (3) transactional aborts for non-conflict reasons
(e.g., capacity or unknown). To overcome these
challenges, TxRace performs lightweight HTM-based data
race detection at first, and occasionally switches to
slow yet precise data race detection only for the small
fraction of execution intervals in which potential
races are reported by HTM. According to the
experimental results, TxRace reduces the average
runtime overhead of dynamic data race detection from
11.68x to 4.65x with only a small number of false
negatives.",

abstract = "The recent evolution in hardware landscape, aimed at
producing high-performance computing systems capable of
reaching extreme-scale performance, has reignited the
interest in fine-grain multithreading, particularly at
the intranode level. Indeed, popular parallel
programming environments, such as OpenMP, which
features a simple interface for the parallelization of
programs, are now incorporating fine-grain constructs.
However, since coarse-grain directives are still
heavily used, the OpenMP runtime is forced to support
both coarse- and fine-grain models of execution,
potentially reducing the advantages obtained when
executing an application in a fully fine-grain
environment. To evaluate the type of applications that
benefit from executing in a unified fine-grain program
execution model, this article presents a multigrain
parallel programming environment for the generation of
fine-grain multithreaded applications from programs
featuring OpenMP's API, allowing OpenMP programs to be
run on top of a fine-grain event-driven program
execution model. Experimental results with five
scientific benchmarks show that fine-grain
applications, generated by and run on our environment
with two runtimes implementing a fine-grain
event-driven program execution model, are competitive
and can outperform their OpenMP counterparts,
especially for data-intensive workloads with irregular
and dynamic parallelism, reaching speedups as high as
2.6$ \times $ for Graph500 and 51$ \times $ for NAS
Data Cube.",

combines the performance and low-level control of C and
C++ with memory safety and thread safety. Rust's
modern, flexible types ensure your program is free of
null pointer dereferences, double frees, dangling
pointers, and similar bugs, all at compile time,
without runtime overhead. In multithreaded code, Rust
catches data races at compile time, making concurrency
much easier to use. Written by two experienced systems
programmers, this book explains how Rust manages to
bridge the gap between performance and safety, and how
you can take advantage of it. Topics include: How Rust
represents values in memory (with diagrams) Complete
explanations of ownership, moves, borrows, and
lifetimes Cargo, rustdoc, unit tests, and how to
publish your code on crates.io, Rust's public package
repository High-level features like generic code,
closures, collections, and iterators that make Rust
productive and flexible Concurrency in Rust: threads,
mutexes, channels, and atomics, all much safer to use
than in C or C++ Unsafe code, and how to preserve the
integrity of ordinary code that uses it. Extended

abstract = "The QZ algorithm for computing eigenvalues and
eigenvectors of a matrix pencil A B requires that the
matrices first be reduced to Hessenberg-triangular (HT)
form. The current method of choice for HT reduction
relies entirely on Givens rotations regrouped and
accumulated into small dense matrices which are
subsequently applied using matrix multiplication
routines. A non-vanishing fraction of the total flop
count must nevertheless still be performed as sequences
of overlapping Givens rotations alternately applied
from the left and from the right. The many data
dependencies associated with this computational pattern
leads to inefficient use of the processor and poor
scalability. In this paper, we therefore introduce a
fundamentally different approach that relies entirely
on (large) Householder reflectors partially accumulated
into block reflectors, by using (compact) WY
representations. Even though the new algorithm requires
more floating point operations than the state of the
art algorithm, extensive experiments on both real and
synthetic data indicate that it is still competitive,
even in a sequential setting. The new algorithm is
conjectured to have better parallel scalability, an
idea which is partially supported by early small-scale
experiments using multi-threaded BLAS. The design and
evaluation of a parallel formulation is future work.",

abstract = "It is notoriously challenging to develop parallel
software systems that are both scalable and correct.
Runtime support for parallelism-such as multithreaded
record and replay, data race detectors, transactional
memory, and enforcement of stronger memory models-helps
achieve these goals, but existing commodity solutions
slow programs substantially to track (i.e., detect or
control) an execution's cross-thread dependencies
accurately. Prior work tracks cross-thread dependencies
either ``pessimistically,'' slowing every program
access, or ``optimistically,'' allowing for lightweight
instrumentation of most accesses but dramatically
slowing accesses that are conflicting (i.e., involved
in cross-thread dependencies). This article presents
two novel approaches that seek to improve the
performance of dependence tracking. Hybrid tracking
(HT) hybridizes pessimistic and optimistic tracking by
overcoming a fundamental mismatch between these two
kinds of tracking. HT uses an adaptive, profile-based
policy to make runtime decisions about switching
between pessimistic and optimistic tracking. Relaxed
tracking (RT) attempts to reduce optimistic tracking's
overhead on conflicting accesses by tracking
dependencies in a ``relaxed'' way-meaning that not all
dependencies are tracked accurately-while still
preserving both program semantics and runtime support's
correctness. To demonstrate the usefulness and
potential of HT and RT, we build runtime support based
on the two approaches. Our evaluation shows that both
approaches offer performance advantages over existing
approaches, but there exist challenges and
opportunities for further improvement. HT and RT are
distinct solutions to the same problem. It is easier to
build runtime support based on HT than on RT, although
RT does not incur the overhead of online profiling.
This article presents the two approaches together to
inform and inspire future designs for efficient
parallel runtime support.",

thread block scheduling, we can capture more
performance improvement opportunities than prior work
that only explores the spatial locality between

abstract = "Divide-and-conquer is a common parallel programming
skeleton supported by many cross-platform multithreaded
libraries, and most commonly used by programmers for
parallelization. The challenges of producing (manually
or automatically) a correct divide-and-conquer parallel
program from a given sequential code are two-fold: (1)
assuming that a good solution exists where individual
worker threads execute a code identical to the
sequential one, the programmer has to provide the extra
code for dividing the tasks and combining the partial
results (i.e. joins), and (2) the sequential code may
not be suitable for divide-and-conquer parallelization
as is, and may need to be modified to become a part of
a good solution. We address both challenges in this
paper. We present an automated synthesis technique to
synthesize correct joins and an algorithm for modifying
the sequential code to make it suitable for
parallelization when necessary. This paper focuses on
class of loops that traverse a read-only collection and
compute a scalar function over that collection. We
present theoretical results for when the necessary
modifications to sequential code are possible,
theoretical guarantees for the algorithmic solutions
presented here, and experimental evaluation of the
approach's success in practice and the quality of the
produced parallel programs.",

scalability of the databases (DBs) underlying the

reaping the benefits from the NFV transformation. This
paper presents an industrial experience of applying
shared-nothing techniques in order to achieve the
scalability of a DB in an NFV setup. The special
combination of requirements in NFV DBs are not easily
met with conventional execution models. Therefore, we
designed a special shared-nothing architecture that is
based on cooperative multi-tasking using user-level
threads (fibers). We further show that the fiber-based
approach outperforms the approach built using
conventional multi-threading and meets the variable
deployment needs of the NFV transformation.
Furthermore, fibers yield a simpler-to-maintain

by adding more parallelism through additional cores and
complex memory hierarchies. Often, executing multiple

threads, provides greater efficiency rather than
executing a single application with large thread
counts. However, contention for shared resources can
limit the improvement of concurrent application
execution: orchestrating the number of threads used by
each application and is essential. In this article, we
contribute SCALO, a solution to orchestrate concurrent
application execution to increase throughput. SCALO
monitors co-executing applications at runtime to
evaluate their scalability. Its optimizing thread
allocator analyzes these scalability estimates to adapt
the parallelism of each program. Unlike previous
approaches, SCALO differs by including dynamic
contention effects on scalability and by controlling
the parallelism during the execution of parallel
regions. Thus, it improves throughput when other
state-of-the-art approaches fail and outperforms them
by up to 40\% when they succeed.",

introduces energy transparency directly to the LLVM

a comprehensive set of benchmarks, including single-

used concurrency patterns: task farms and pipelines.
Using SRA, our LLVM IR results demonstrate a high

designing multi-threaded applications has become
essential to efficiently utilize the available hardware

significant research problem. Efficient execution of
multi-threaded workloads on cloud environments, where

project to introduce the basics, then explores key
concepts in depth, such as ownership, the type system,
error handling, and fearless concurrency. Detailed
explanations of Rust-oriented takes on topics like
pattern matching, iterators, and smart pointers combine
with examples and exercises to take you from theory to
practice. In addition to its thorough coverage of more
granular topics, \booktitle{The Rust Programming

abstract = "Traffic of Industrial Control System (ICS) between the
Human Machine Interface (HMI) and the Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC) is known to be highly periodic.
However, it is sometimes multiplexed, due to
asynchronous scheduling. Modeling the network traffic
patterns of multiplexed ICS streams using Deterministic
Finite Automata (DFA) for anomaly detection typically
produces a very large DFA and a high false-alarm rate.
In this article, we introduce a new modeling approach
that addresses this gap. Our Statechart DFA modeling
includes multiple DFAs, one per cyclic pattern,
together with a DFA-selector that de-multiplexes the
incoming traffic into sub-channels and sends them to
their respective DFAs. We demonstrate how to
automatically construct the statechart from a captured
traffic stream. Our unsupervised learning algorithms
first build a Discrete-Time Markov Chain (DTMC) from
the stream. Next, we split the symbols into sets, one
per multiplexed cycle, based on symbol frequencies and
node degrees in the DTMC graph. Then, we create a
sub-graph for each cycle and extract Euler cycles for
each sub-graph. The final statechart is comprised of
one DFA per Euler cycle. The algorithms allow for
non-unique symbols, which appear in more than one
cycle, and also for symbols that appear more than once
in a cycle. We evaluated our solution on traces from a
production ICS using the Siemens S7-0x72 protocol. We
also stress-tested our algorithms on a collection of
synthetically-generated traces that simulated
multiplexed ICS traces with varying levels of symbol
uniqueness and time overlap. The algorithms were able
to split the symbols into sets with 99.6\% accuracy.
The resulting statechart modeled the traces with a
median false-alarm rate of as low as 0.483\%. In all
but the most extreme scenarios, the Statechart model
drastically reduced both the false-alarm rate and the
learned model size in comparison with the naive
single-DFA model.",

programs executed on graphics processing units (GPUs),
called GPU kernels. During the execution of GPU
kernels, multiple threads execute in lockstep, that is,
execute the same instruction simultaneously. When the
control branches, the two branches are executed
sequentially, but during the execution of each branch
only those threads that take it are enabled; after the
control converges, all the threads are enabled and
again execute in lockstep. In this article, we first
consider a semantics in which all threads execute in
lockstep (this semantics simplifies the actual
execution model of GPUs) and adapt Hoare Logic to this
setting by augmenting the usual Hoare triples with an
additional component representing the set of enabled
threads. It is determined that the soundness and
relative completeness of the logic do not hold for all
programs; a difficulty arises from the fact that one
thread can invalidate the loop termination condition of
another thread through shared memory. We overcome this
difficulty by identifying an appropriate class of
programs for which the soundness and relative
completeness hold. Additionally, we discuss thread
interleaving, which is present in the actual execution
of GPUs but not in the lockstep semantics mentioned
above. We show that if a program is race free, then the
lockstep and interleaving semantics produce the same
result. This implies that our logic is sound and
relatively complete for race-free programs, even if the
thread interleaving is taken into account.",

high-performance, post-silicon validation framework for
validating memory consistency in multi-core systems.
Our framework generates constrained-random tests that
are instrumented with observability-enhancing code for
memory consistency verification. For each test, we
generate a set of compact signatures reflecting the
memory-ordering patterns observed over many executions
of the test, with each of the signatures corresponding
to a unique memory-ordering pattern. We then leverage
an efficient and novel analysis to quickly determine if
the observed execution patterns represented by each
unique signature abide by the memory consistency model.
Our analysis derives its efficiency by exploiting the
structural similarities among the patterns observed. We
evaluated our framework, MTraceCheck, on two platforms:
an x86-based desktop and an ARM-based SoC platform,
both running multi-threaded test programs in a
bare-metal environment. We show that MTraceCheck
reduces the perturbation introduced by the
memory-ordering monitoring activity by 93\% on average,
compared to a baseline register flushing approach that
saves the register's state after each load operation.
We also reduce the computation requirements of our
consistency checking analysis by 81\% on average,
compared to a conventional topological sorting
solution. We finally demonstrate the effectiveness of
MTraceCheck on buggy designs, by evaluating multiple
case studies where it successfully exposes subtle bugs
in a full-system simulation environment.",

molecules is small. Hence a stochastic
reaction-diffusion simulator capable of working at
scale can provide a more accurate view of molecular
dynamics within the cell. This article describes a
parallel discrete event simulator, Neuron Time
Warp-Multi Thread (NTW-MT), developed for the
simulation of reaction diffusion models of neurons. To
the best of our knowledge, this is the first parallel
discrete event simulator oriented toward stochastic
simulation of chemical reactions in a neuron. The
simulator was developed as part of the NEURON project.
NTW-MT is optimistic and thread based, which attempts
to capitalize on multicore architectures used in high
performance machines. It makes use of a multilevel
queue for the pending event set and a single rollback
message in place of individual antimessages to disperse
contention and decrease the overhead of processing
rollbacks. Global Virtual Time is computed
asynchronously both within and among processes to get
rid of the overhead for synchronizing threads. Memory
usage is managed in order to avoid locking and
unlocking when allocating and deallocating memory and
to maximize cache locality. We verified our simulator
on a calcium buffer model. We examined its performance
on a calcium wave model, comparing it to the
performance of a process based optimistic simulator and
a threaded simulator which uses a single priority queue
for each thread. Our multithreaded simulator is shown
to achieve superior performance to these simulators.
Finally, we demonstrated the scalability of our
simulator on a larger Calcium-Induced Calcium Release
(CICR) model and a more detailed CICR model.",

often interfere with each other by competing for shared

where a single copy of data can be accessed by multiple

Because data sharing consolidates the collective
working set of threads, the effective size of shared
cache becomes larger than it would have been when data
are not shared. This paper presents a new theory of
data sharing. It includes (1) a new metric called the
shared footprint to mathematically compute the amount
of data shared by any group of threads in any size
cache, and (2) a linear-time algorithm to measure
shared footprint by scanning the memory trace of a
multi-threaded program. The paper presents the
practical implementation and evaluates the new theory

techniques to improve the performance of high
performance computing (HPC) systems. The proposed
techniques are implemented and evaluated through an
efficient, portable, and robust programming framework
that enables data-driven concurrency on HPC systems.
The proposed framework is based on data-driven
multithreading (DDM), a hybrid control-flow/dataflow
model that schedules threads based on data availability
on sequential processors. The proposed framework was
evaluated using several benchmarks, with different
characteristics, on two different systems: a 4-node AMD
system with a total of 128 cores and a 64-node Intel
HPC system with a total of 768 cores. The performance
evaluation shows that the proposed framework scales
well and tolerates scheduling overheads and memory
latencies effectively. We also compare our framework to
MPI, DDM-VM, and OmpSs@Cluster. The comparison results
show that the proposed framework obtains comparable or
better performance.",

dynamic language as its input and produces a Virtual
Machine{\^A} (VM) for that language. RPython is being
used to develop PyPy, a high-performance Python
interpreter. However, the produced VM does not support
parallel execution since the framework relies on a
Global Interpreter Lock{\^A} (GIL): PyPy serialises the
execution of multi-threaded Python programs. We
describe the rationale and design of a new parallel
execution model for RPython that allows the generation
of parallel virtual machines while leaving the language
semantics unchanged. This model then allows different
implementations of concurrency control, and we discuss
an implementation based on a GIL and an implementation
based on Software Transactional Memory{\^A} (STM). To
evaluate the benefits of either choice, we adapt PyPy
to work with both implementations (GIL and STM). The
evaluation shows that PyPy with STM improves the
runtime of a set of multi-threaded Python programs over
PyPy with a GIL by factors in the range of 1.87 $
\times $ up to 5.96 $ \times $ when executing on a

abstract = "Data compression plays a pivotal role in improving
system performance and reducing energy consumption,
because it increases the logical effective capacity of
a compressed memory system without physically
increasing the memory size. However, data compression
techniques incur some cost, such as non-negligible
compression and decompression overhead. This overhead
becomes more severe if compression is used in the
cache. In this article, we aim to minimize the read-hit
decompression penalty in compressed Last-Level Caches
(LLCs) by speculatively decompressing frequently used
cachelines. To this end, we propose a Hot-cacheline
Prediction and Early decompression (HoPE) mechanism
that consists of three synergistic techniques:
Hot-cacheline Prediction (HP), Early Decompression
(ED), and Hit-history-based Insertion (HBI). HP and HBI
efficiently identify the hot compressed cachelines,
while ED selectively decompresses hot cachelines, based
on their size information. Unlike previous approaches,
the HoPE framework considers the performance
balance/tradeoff between the increased effective cache
capacity and the decompression penalty. To evaluate the
effectiveness of the proposed HoPE mechanism, we run
extensive simulations on memory traces obtained from
multi-threaded benchmarks running on a full-system
simulation framework. We observe significant
performance improvements over compressed cache schemes
employing the conventional Least-Recently Used (LRU)
replacement policy, the Dynamic Re-Reference Interval
Prediction (DRRIP) scheme, and the Effective Capacity
Maximizer (ECM) compressed cache management mechanism.
Specifically, HoPE exhibits system performance
improvements of approximately 11\%, on average, over
LRU, 8\% over DRRIP, and 7\% over ECM by reducing the
read-hit decompression penalty by around 65\%, over a
wide range of applications.",

parallel. A task performs most efficiently when it is
executed over a spatially connected and compact subset
of cores so that performance loss due to communication
overhead imposed by the task's threads spread across
the allocated cores is minimal. Over a span of time,
unallocated cores can get scattered all over the
many-core, creating fragments in the task mapping.
These fragments can prevent efficient contiguous
mapping of incoming new tasks leading to loss of
performance. This problem can be alleviated by using a
task defragmenter, which consolidates smaller fragments
into larger fragments wherein the incoming tasks can be
efficiently executed. Optimal defragmentation of a
many-core is an NP-hard problem in the general case.
Therefore, we simplify the original problem to a
problem that can be solved optimally in polynomial
time. In this work, we introduce a concept of
exponentially separable mapping (ESM), which defines a
set of task mapping constraints on a many-core. We
prove that an ESM enforcing many-core can be
defragmented optimally in polynomial time.",

abstract = "The parallelization of programs and distributing their
workloads to multiple threads can be a challenging
task. In addition to multi-threading, harnessing vector
units in CPUs proves highly desirable. However,
employing vector units to speed up programs can be
quite tedious. Either a program developer solely relies
on the auto-vectorization capabilities of the compiler
or he manually applies vector intrinsics, which is
extremely error-prone, difficult to maintain, and not
portable at all. Based on whole-function vectorization,
a method to replace control flow with data flow, we
propose auto-vectorization techniques for image
processing DSLs in the context of source-to-source
compilation. The approach does not require the input to
be available in SSA form. Moreover, we formulate
constraints under which the vectorization analysis and
code transformations may be greatly simplified in the
context of image processing DSLs. As part of our
methodology, we present control flow to data flow
transformation as a source-to-source translation.
Moreover, we propose a method to efficiently analyze
algorithms with mixed bit-width data types to determine
the optimal SIMD width, independently of the target
instruction set. The techniques are integrated into an
open source DSL framework. Subsequently, the
vectorization capabilities are compared to a variety of
existing state-of-the-art C/C++ compilers. A geometric
mean speedup of up to 3.14 is observed for benchmarks
taken from ISPC and image processing, compared to
non-vectorized executions.",

abstract = "Record-and-replay systems are useful tools for
debugging non-deterministic parallel programs by first
recording an execution and then replaying that
execution to produce the same access pattern. Existing
record-and-replay systems generally target thread-based
execution models, and record the behaviors and
interleavings of individual threads. Dynamic
multithreaded languages and libraries, such as the Cilk
family, OpenMP, TBB, etc., do not have a notion of
threads. Instead, these languages provide a
processor-oblivious model of programming, where
programs expose task-parallelism using high-level
constructs such as spawn/sync without regard to the
number of threads/cores available to run the program.
Thread-based record-and-replay would violate the
processor-oblivious nature of these programs, as they
incorporate the number of threads into the recorded
information, constraining the replayed execution to the
same number of threads. In this paper, we present a
processor-oblivious record-and-replay scheme for such
languages where record and replay can use different
number of processors and both are scheduled using work
stealing. We provide theoretical guarantees for our
record and replay scheme --- namely that record is
optimal for programs with one lock and replay is
near-optimal for all cases. In addition, we implemented
this scheme in the Cilk Plus runtime system and our
evaluation indicates that processor-obliviousness does
not cause substantial overheads.",

abstract = "Java PathFinder (JPF) is a backtrackable Java Virtual
Machine (JVM), which is implemented in Java and runs on
a standard JVM (e.g., Oracle HotSpot). Thus, a JPF
developer can use off-the-shelf Java debuggers (e.g.,
jdb) when debugging code that makes up JPF. JPF
explores all non-deterministic executions of a given
target program and monitors for property violations. To
facilitate debugging of the target program, JPF can
capture and replay the execution trace that leads to a
property violation. While the deterministic replay is
invaluable, the replay with JPF does not allow the
developer to attach an off-the-shelf Java debugger to
the target program (e.g., step through the application
code, set breakpoints, etc.). We present a technique,
dubbed JPR, to improve the debugging experience of the
JPF captured traces by migrating the JPF traces to a
new format that can be executed using the standard JVM.
JPR annotates each JPF trace, during the capture phase,
with extra data (e.g., instruction index, instruction
count, etc.); the annotated trace is then used to
instrument Java bytecode to enforce the same execution
trace on a standard JVM. JPR is compatible with various
optimizations, e.g., state matching and partial-order
reduction. We evaluated JPR on all multithreaded Java
programs in the official JPF distribution. Our results
show that JPR successfully replayed all JPF traces on
the standard JVM with reasonable overhead during both
recording and replaying.",

by running thousands of threads in parallel. To fully
utilize the hardware, workloads spawn work to the GPU
in bulk by launching large tasks, where each task is a

their performance benefits vanish if the tasks are

runtime system that virtualizes GPU resources, using an
OS-like daemon kernel called MasterKernel. Tasks are
spawned from the CPU onto Pagoda as they become
available, and are scheduled by the MasterKernel at the
warp granularity. Experimental results demonstrate that
Pagoda achieves a geometric mean speedup of 5.70x over

abstract = "To fully exploit the scaling performance in Chip
Multiprocessors, applications must be divided into
semi-independent processes that can run concurrently on
multiple cores within a system. One major class of such
applications, shared-memory, multi-threaded
applications, requires programmers insert thread
synchronization primitives (i.e., locks, barriers, and
condition variables) in their critical sections to
synchronize data access between processes. For this
class of applications, scaling performance requires
balanced per-thread workloads with little time spent in
critical sections. In practice, however, threads often
waste significant time waiting to acquire
locks/barriers in their critical sections, leading to
thread imbalance and poor performance scaling.
Moreover, critical sections often stall data
prefetchers that mitigate the effects of long critical
section stalls by ensuring data is preloaded in the
core caches when the critical section is complete. In
this paper we examine a pure hardware technique to
enable safe data prefetching beyond synchronization
points in CMPs. We show that successful prefetching
beyond synchronization points requires overcoming two
significant challenges in existing prefetching
techniques. First, we find that typical data
prefetchers are designed to trigger prefetches based on
current misses. This approach this works well for
traditional, continuously executing, single-threaded
applications. However, when a thread stalls on a
synchronization point, it typically does not produce
any new memory references to trigger a prefetcher.
Second, even in the event that a prefetch were to be
correctly directed to read beyond a synchronization
point, it will likely prefetch shared data from another
core before this data has been written. While this
prefetch would be considered ``{accurate''} it is
highly undesirable, because such a prefetch would lead
to three extra ``ping-{pong''} movements back and forth
between private caches in the producing and consuming
cores, incurring more latency and energy overhead than
without prefetching. We develop a new data prefetcher,
Multi-Thread B-Fetch (MTBFetch), built as an extension
to a previous single-threaded data prefetcher. MTBFetch
addresses both issues in prefetching for shared memory
multi-threaded workloads. MTB-Fetch achieves a speedup
of 9.3 percent for multi-threaded applications with
little additional hardware.",

in lock-based thread-safe MPI libraries. Specifically,
we make two assumptions: (1) locks are the only form of
synchronization when protecting communication paths;
and (2) contention occurs, and thus serialization is
unavoidable. Our work distinguishes between lock
acquisitions with respect to work being performed
inside a critical section; productive vs. unproductive.
Waiting for message reception without doing anything
else inside a critical section is an example of
unproductive lock acquisition. We show that the
high-throughput nature of modern scalable locking
protocols translates into better communication progress
for throughput-intensive MPI communication but
negatively impacts latency-sensitive communication
because of overzealous unproductive lock acquisition.
To reduce unproductive lock acquisitions, we devised a
method that promotes threads with productive work using
a generic two-level priority locking protocol. Our
results show that using a high-throughput protocol for
productive work and a fair protocol for less productive
code paths ensures the best tradeoff for fine-grained
communication, whereas a fair protocol is sufficient
for more coarse-grained communication. Although these
efforts have been rewarding, scalability degradation
remains significant. We discuss techniques that diverge
from the pure locking model and offer the potential to
further improve scalability.",

high-performance computing, since the SIMT execution
paradigm can exploit data-level parallelism
effectively. This article explores the SIMT execution
potential on homogeneous multi-core processors, which
generally run in multiple-instruction multiple-data
(MIMD) mode when utilizing the multi-core resources. We
address three architecture issues in enabling SIMT
execution model on multi-core processor, including
multithreading execution model, kernel thread context
placement, and thread divergence. For the SIMT
execution model, we propose a fine-grained
multithreading mechanism on an ARM-based multi-core
system. Each of the processor cores stores the kernel
thread contexts in its L1 data cache for per-cycle
thread-switching requirement. For divergence-intensive
kernels, an Inner Conditional Statement First
(ICS-First) mechanism helps early re-convergence to
occur and significantly improves the performance. The
experiment results show that effectiveness in
data-parallel processing reduces on average 36\%
dynamic instructions, and boosts the SIMT executions to
achieve on average 1.52$ \times $ and up to 5$ \times $
speedups over the MIMD counterpart for OpenCL
benchmarks for single issue in-order processor cores.
By using the explicit vectorization optimization on the
kernels, the SIMT model gains further benefits from the
SIMD extension and achieves 1.71$ \times $ speedup over
the MIMD approach. The SIMT model using in-order
superscalar processor cores outperforms the MIMD model
that uses superscalar out-of-order processor cores by
40\%. The results show that, to exploit data-level

SOPRO. SOFRITEST uses OFRs to find concurrency bugs,
including a multi-critical-section atomicity violation
in memcached that weaker consistency models will miss.
If OFR's are too coarse-grained, SOFRITEST suggests
refinement annotations automatically. Our software-only

abstract = "OLTP systems can often improve throughput by batching
transactions and processing them as a group. Batching
has been used for optimizations such as message packing
and group commits; however, there is little research on
the benefits of a holistic approach to batching across
a transaction's entire life cycle. In this paper, we
present a framework to incorporate batching at multiple
stages of transaction execution for OLTP systems based
on optimistic concurrency control. Storage batching
enables reordering of transaction reads and writes at
the storage layer, reducing conflicts on the same
object. Validator batching enables reordering of
transactions before validation, reducing conflicts
between transactions. Dependencies between transactions
make transaction reordering a non-trivial problem, and
we propose several efficient and practical algorithms
that can be customized to various transaction
precedence policies such as reducing tail latency. We
also show how to reorder transactions with a
thread-aware policy in multi-threaded OLTP architecture
without a centralized validator. In-depth experiments
on a research prototype, an opensource OLTP system, and
a production OLTP system show that our techniques
increase transaction throughput by up to 2.2x and
reduce their tail latency by up to 71\% compared with
the start-of-the-art systems on workloads with high
data contention.",

programmers and compilers produce profitable
thread-level parallel programs. Prior work shows that
supporting transactions that can span multiple threads,
rather than requiring transactions be contained within
a single thread, enables new types of speculative
parallelization techniques for both programmers and
parallelizing compilers. Unfortunately, software
support for multi-threaded transactions (MTXs) comes
with significant additional inter-thread communication
overhead for speculation validation. This overhead can
make otherwise good parallelization unprofitable for
programs with sizeable read and write sets. Some
programs using these prior software MTXs overcame this
problem through significant efforts by expert
programmers to minimize these sets and optimize
communication, capabilities which compiler technology
has been unable to equivalently achieve. Instead, this
paper makes speculative parallelization less laborious
and more feasible through low-overhead speculation
validation, presenting the first complete design,
implementation, and evaluation of hardware MTXs. Even
with maximal speculation validation of every load and
store inside transactions of tens to hundreds of
millions of instructions, profitable parallelization of
complex programs can be achieved. Across 8 benchmarks,

by a variety of approaches that include variants of
distribution-based methods such as radix-sort,
comparison-oriented algorithms such as deterministic
regular sampling and random sampling parallel sorting,
and network-based algorithms such as Batcher's bitonic
sorting algorithm. In this work we present an
experimental study of integer sorting on multicore
processors. We have implemented serial and parallel
radix-sort for various radixes, deterministic regular
oversampling, and random oversampling parallel sorting,
including new variants of ours, and also some
previously little explored or unexplored variants of
bitonic-sort and odd-even transposition sort. The study
uses multithreading and multiprocessing parallel
programming libraries with the same C language code
working under Open MPI, MulticoreBSP, and BSPlib. We
first provide some general high-level observations on
the performance of these implementations. If we can
conclude anything is that accurate prediction of
performance by taking into consideration architecture
dependent features such as the structure and
characteristics of multiple memory hierarchies is
difficult and more often than not untenable. To some
degree this is affected by the overhead imposed by the
high-level library used in the programming effort.
Another objective is to model the performance of these
algorithms and their implementations under the MBSP
(Multi-memory BSP) model. Despite the limitations
mentioned above, we can still draw some reliable
conclusions and reason about the performance of these
implementations using the MBSP model, thus making MBSP
useful and usable.",

Abstraction layers are used to hide the implementation

levels of abstraction. Despite their obvious
importance, concurrent abstraction layers have not been
treated formally. This severely limits the
applicability of layer-based techniques and makes it
difficult to scale verification across multiple

fully mechanized programming toolkit developed under
the CertiKOS project---for specifying, composing,
compiling, and linking certified concurrent abstraction
layers. CCAL consists of three technical novelties: a
new game-theoretical, strategy-based compositional
semantic model for concurrency (and its associated
program verifiers), a set of formal linking theorems
for composing multithreaded and multicore concurrent
layers, and a new CompCertX compiler that supports
certified thread-safe compilation and linking. The CCAL
toolkit is implemented in Coq and supports layered
concurrent programming in both C and assembly. It has

and verification of total correctness properties of
object-oriented programs. The core of our approach is a
specification style that prescribes a way to assign a
level expression to each method such that each callee's
level is below the caller's, even in the presence of
dynamic binding. The specification style yields
specifications that properly hide implementation
details. The main idea is to use multisets of method
names as levels, and to associate with each object
levels that abstractly reflect the way the object is
built from other objects. A method's level is then
defined in terms of the method's own name and the
levels associated with the objects passed as arguments.
We first present the specification style in the context
of programs that do not modify object fields. We then
combine it with separation logic and abstract predicate
families to obtain an approach for programs with heap
mutation. In a third step, we address concurrency, by
incorporating an existing approach for verifying
deadlock freedom of channels and locks. Our main
contribution here is to achieve information hiding by
using the proposed termination levels for lock ordering
as well. Also, we introduce call permissions to enable
elegant verification of termination of programs where
threads cause work in other threads, such as in thread
pools or fine-grained concurrent algorithms involving
compare-and-swap loops. We explain how our approach can
be used also to verify the liveness of nonterminating
programs.",

architectures requires an on-chip network more scalable
than conventional buses. However, employing an on-chip
network in a manycore system (to improve scalability)

core non-uniform. This non-uniformity can play a
significant role in shaping the overall application

strategy which involves exposing architecture

compiler-guided scheme that takes into account the
relative positions of (and distances between) cores,
last-level caches (LLCs) and memory controllers (MCs)
in a manycore system, and generates a mapping of
computations to cores with the goal of minimizing the
on-chip network traffic. The experimental data
collected using a set of 21 multi-threaded applications
reveal that, on an average, our approach reduces the
on-chip network latency in a 6$ \times $6 manycore
system by 38.4\% in the case of private LLCs, and

nondeterministically due to programming errors in the

reduction mechanism supported in various Cilk

challenging to debug, because the errors can expose the
nondeterminism in how the Cilk runtime system manages
reducers. We identify two unique types of races that
arise from incorrect use of reducers in a Cilk program,
and we present two algorithms to catch these races. The
first algorithm, called the Peer-Set algorithm, detects
view-read races, which occur when the program attempts
to retrieve a value out of a reducer when the read may
result in a nondeterministic value, such as before all
previously spawned subcomputations that might update
the reducer have necessarily returned. The second
algorithm, called the SP+ algorithm, detects
determinacy races-instances where a write to a memory
location occurs logically in parallel with another
access to that location-even when the raced-on memory
locations relate to reducers. Both algorithms are
provably correct, asymptotically efficient, and can be
implemented efficiently in practice. We have
implemented both algorithms in our prototype race
detector, Rader. When running Peer-Set, Rader incurs a

abstract = "Reproducing executions of multithreaded programs is
very challenging due to many intrinsic and external
non-deterministic factors. Existing RnR systems achieve
significant progress in terms of performance overhead,
but none targets the in-situ setting, in which replay
occurs within the same process as the recording
process. Also, most existing work cannot achieve
identical replay, which may prevent the reproduction of
some errors. This paper presents iReplayer, which aims
to identically replay multithreaded programs in the
original process (under the ``in-situ'' setting). The
novel in-situ and identical replay of iReplayer makes
it more likely to reproduce errors, and allows it to
directly employ debugging mechanisms (e.g. watchpoints)
to aid failure diagnosis. Currently, iReplayer only
incurs 3\% performance overhead on average, which
allows it to be always enabled in the production
environment. iReplayer enables a range of
possibilities, and this paper presents three examples:
two automatic tools for detecting buffer overflows and
use-after-free bugs, and one interactive debugging tool
that is integrated with GDB.",

value its simplicity and power, especially as it comes
along with numeric libraries such as NumPy, SciPy,
Dask, and Numba. As CPU core counts keep increasing,
these modules can make use of many cores via
multi-threading for efficient multi-core parallelism.
However, threads can interfere with each other leading
to overhead and inefficiency if used together in a
single application on machines with a large number of
cores. This performance loss can be prevented if all
multi-threaded modules are coordinated. This paper
continues the work started in AMala16 by introducing
more approaches to coordination for both
multi-threading and multi-processing cases. In
particular, we investigate the use of static settings,
limiting the number of simultaneously active OpenMP
parallel regions, and optional parallelism with Intel
Threading Building Blocks (Intel TBB). We will show how
these approaches help to unlock additional performance
for numeric applications on multi-core systems.",

the need for Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB)
lookups, they suffer from several challenging design
issues that curtail their widespread commercial
adoption. We focus on one of these challenges-cache
flushes due to virtual page remappings. We use detailed
studies on an ARM many-core server to show that this
problem degrades performance by up to 25 percent for a
mix of multi-programmed and multi-threaded workloads.
Interestingly, we observe that many of these flushes
are spurious, and caused by an indiscriminate
invalidation broadcast on ARM architecture. In
response, we propose a low-overhead and readily
implementable hardware mechanism using bloom filters to
reduce spurious invalidations and mitigate their ill
effects.",

abstract = "Stream processing is a computational paradigm for
on-the-fly processing of live data. This paradigm lends
itself to implementations that can provide high
throughput and low latency by taking advantage of
various forms of parallelism that are naturally
captured by the stream processing model of computation,
such as pipeline, task, and data parallelism. In this
article, we describe the design and implementation of
C-Stream, which is an elastic stream processing engine.
C-Stream encompasses three unique properties. First, in
contrast to the widely adopted event-based interface
for developing streaming operators, C-Stream provides
an interface wherein each operator has its own driver
loop and relies on data availability application
programming interfaces (APIs) to decide when to perform
its computations. This self-control-based model
significantly simplifies the development of operators
that require multiport synchronization. Second,
C-Stream contains a dynamic scheduler that manages the
multithreaded execution of the operators. The
scheduler, which is customizable via plug-ins, enables
the execution of the operators as co-routines, using
any number of threads. The base scheduler implements
back-pressure, provides data availability APIs, and
manages preemption and termination handling. Last,
C-Stream varies the degree of parallelism to resolve
bottlenecks by both dynamically changing the number of
threads used to execute an application and adjusting
the number of replicas of data-parallel operators. We
provide an experimental evaluation of C-Stream. The
results show that C-Stream is scalable, highly
customizable, and can resolve bottlenecks by
dynamically adjusting the level of data parallelism
used.",

systems offers many advantages over execution-driven
simulation, such as reducing simulation time and
complexity, allowing portability, and scalability.
However, trace-based simulation approaches have
difficulty capturing and accurately replaying
multithreaded traces due to the inherent nondeterminism
in the execution of multithreaded programs. In this
work, we present SynchroTrace, a scalable, flexible,
and accurate trace-based multithreaded simulation
methodology. By recording synchronization events
relevant to modern threading libraries (e.g., Pthreads
and OpenMP) and dependencies in the traces, independent
of the host architecture, the methodology is able to
accurately model the nondeterminism of multithreaded
programs for different hardware platforms and threading
paradigms. Through capturing high-level instruction
categories, the SynchroTrace average CPI trace Replay
timing model offers fast and accurate simulation of
many-core in-order CMPs. We perform two case studies to
validate the SynchroTrace simulation flow against the
gem5 full-system simulator: (1) a constraint-based
design space exploration with traditional CMP
benchmarks and (2) a thread-scalability study with
HPC-representative applications. The results from these
case studies show that (1) our trace-based approach
with trace filtering has a peak speedup of up to 18.7$
\times $ over simulation in gem5 full-system with an
average of 9.6$ \times $ speedup, (2) SynchroTrace
maintains the thread-scaling accuracy of gem5 and can
efficiently scale up to 64 threads, and (3)
SynchroTrace can trace in one platform and model any

the effective uses of Rust's powerful memory safety.Key
Features Learn and improve the sequential performance
characteristics of your software Understand the use of
operating system processes in a high-scale concurrent
system Learn of the various coordination methods
available in the Standard library. Most programming
languages can really complicate things, especially with
regard to unsafe memory access. The burden on you, the
programmer, lies across two domains: understanding the
modern machine and your language's pain-points. This
book will teach you to how to manage program
performance on modern machines and build fast,
memory-safe, and concurrent software in Rust. It starts
with the fundamentals of Rust and discusses machine
architecture concepts. You will be taken through ways
to measure and improve the performance of Rust code
systematically and how to write collections with
confidence. You will learn about the Sync and Send
traits applied to threads, and coordinate thread
execution with locks, atomic primitives,
data-parallelism, and more.The book will show you how
to efficiently embed Rust in C++ code and explore the
functionalities of various crates for multithreaded
applications. It explores implementations in depth. You
will know how a mutex works and build several yourself.
You will master radically different approaches that
exist in the ecosystem for structuring and managing
high-scale systems. By the end of the book, you will
feel comfortable with designing safe, consistent,
parallel, and high-performance applications in
Rust.What you will learn Probe your programs for
performance and accuracy issues Create your own
threading and multi-processing environment in Rust Use
coarse locks from Rust's Standard library Solve common
synchronization problems or avoid synchronization using
atomic programming Build lock-free/wait-free structures

that supports a wide variety of physics-based
simulation models and computer-animated phenomena.
Targeting high-quality offline sound synthesis, we seek
to resolve animation-driven sound radiation with
near-field scattering and diffraction effects. The core
of our approach is a sharp-interface finite-difference
time-domain (FDTD) wavesolver, with a series of
supporting algorithms to handle rapidly deforming and
vibrating embedded interfaces arising in physics-based
animation sound. Once the solver rasterizes these
interfaces, it must evaluate acceleration boundary
conditions (BCs) that involve model-and
phenomena-specific computations. We introduce acoustic
shaders as a mechanism to abstract away these
complexities, and describe a variety of implementations
for computer animation: near-rigid objects with ringing
and acceleration noise, deformable (finite element)
models such as thin shells, bubble-based water, and
virtual characters. Since time-domain wave synthesis is
expensive, we only simulate pressure waves in a small
region about each sound source, then estimate a
far-field pressure signal. To further improve
scalability beyond multi-threading, we propose a fully
time-parallel sound synthesis method that is
demonstrated on commodity cloud computing resources. In
addition to presenting results for multiple animation
phenomena (water, rigid, shells, kinematic deformers,
etc.) we also propose 3D automatic dialogue replacement
(3DADR) for virtual characters so that pre-recorded
dialogue can include character movement, and near-field
shadowing and scattering sound effects.",

abstract = "Formal verification is approaching a point where it
will be reliably applicable to embedded software. Even
though formal verification can efficiently analyze
multi-threaded applications, multi-core processors are
often considered too dangerous to use in critical
systems, despite the many benefits they can offer. One
reason is the advanced memory consistency model of such
CPUs. Nowadays, most software verifiers assume strict
sequential consistency, which is also the na{\"\i}ve
view of programmers. Modern multi-core processors,
however, rarely guarantee this assumption by default.
In addition, complex processor architectures may easily
contain design faults. Thanks to the recent advances in
hardware verification, these faults are increasingly
visible and can be detected even in existing
processors, giving an opportunity to compensate for the
problem in software. In this paper, we propose a
generic approach to consider inconsistent behavior of
the hardware in the analysis of software. Our approach
is based on formal methods and can be used to detect
the activation of existing hardware faults on the
application level and facilitate their mitigation in
software. The approach relies heavily on recent results
of model checking and hardware verification and offers
new, integrative research directions. We propose a
partial solution based on existing model checking tools
to demonstrate feasibility and evaluate their
performance in this context.",

abstract = "Industry is building larger, more complex, manycore
processors on the back of strong institutional
knowledge, but academic projects face difficulties in
replicating that scale. To alleviate these difficulties
and to develop and share knowledge, the community needs
open architecture frameworks for simulation, chip
design, and software exploration that support
extensibility, scalability, and configurability,
alongside an established base of verification tools and
supported software. In this article, we present
OpenPiton, an open source framework for building
scalable architecture research prototypes from one core
to 500 million cores. OpenPiton is the world's first
open source, general-purpose, multithreaded manycore
processor, and framework. OpenPiton is highly
configurable, providing a rich design space spanning a
variety of hardware parameters that researchers can
change. OpenPiton designs can be emulated on FPGAs,
where they can run full-stack multiuser Debian Linux.
OpenPiton is designed to scale to very large core
fabrics, enabling researchers to measure operating
system, compiler, and software scalability. The mature
code-base reflects the complexity of an
industrial-grade design and provides the necessary
scripts to build new chips, making OpenPiton a natural
choice for computer-aided design (CAD) research.
OpenPiton has been validated with a 25-core chip
prototype, named Piton, and is bolstered by a
validation suite that has thousands of tests, providing
an environment to test new hardware designs while
verifying the correctness of the whole system.
OpenPiton is being actively used in research both
internally to Princeton and in the wider community, as
well as being adopted in education, industry, and
government settings.",

to control instruction fetch bandwidth in a
simultaneous multithreaded CPU. In a simultaneous
multithreaded CPU, multiple threads occupy pools of
hardware resources in the same clock cycle. Under some
conditions, one or more threads may undergo a period of
inefficiency, e.g., a cache miss, thereby inefficiently
using shared resources and degrading the performance of
other threads. If these inefficiencies can be
identified at runtime, the offending thread can be
temporarily blocked from fetching new instructions into
the pipeline and given time to recover from its
inefficiency, and prevent the shared system resources
from being wasted on a stalled thread. In this paper,
we propose a machine learning approach to determine
when a thread should be blocked from fetching new
instructions. The model is trained offline and the
parameters embedded in a CPU, which can be queried with
runtime statistics to determine if a thread is running
inefficiently and should be temporarily blocked from
fetching. We propose two models: a simple linear model
and a higher-capacity neural network. We test each
model in a simulation environment and show that system
performance can increase by up to 19\% on average with a

simple round-robin approach, we optimally and

accelerating general-purpose workloads due to their
intuitive programming model, computing capacity, and
cost-effectiveness. GPUs rely on massive
multi-threading and fast context switching to overlap
computations with memory operations. Among the diverse
GPU workloads, there exists a class of kernels that
fail to maintain a sufficient number of active warps to
hide the latency of memory operations, and thus suffer
from frequent stalling. We observe that these kernels
will benefit from increased levels of Instruction-Level
Parallelism and we propose a novel architecture with
lightweight Out-Of-Order execution capability. To
minimize hardware overheads, we carefully design our
extension to highly re-use the existing
micro-architectural structures. We show that the
proposed architecture outperforms traditional platforms
by 15 to 46 percent on average for low occupancy
kernels, with an area overhead of 0.74 to 3.94 percent.
Finally, we prove the potential of our proposal as a
GPU u-arch alternative, by providing a 5 percent
speedup over a wide collection of 63 general-purpose
kernels with as little as 0.74 percent area overhead.",

official book on Rust: an open source systems
programming language that helps you write faster, more
reliable software. Rust offers control over low-level
details (such as memory usage) in combination with
high-level ergonomics, eliminating the hassle
traditionally associated with low-level languages. The
authors of \booktitle{The Rust Programming Language},
members of the Rust Core Team, share their knowledge
and experience to show you how to take full advantage
of Rust's features-from installation to creating robust
and scalable programs. You'll begin with basics like
creating functions, choosing data types, and binding
variables and then move on to more advanced concepts,
such as: * Ownership and borrowing, lifetimes, and
traits * Using Rust's memory safety guarantees to build
fast, safe programs; * Testing, error handling, and
effective refactoring; * Generics, smart pointers,
multithreading, trait objects, and advanced pattern
matching; * Using Cargo, Rust's built-in package
manager, to build, test, and document your code and
manage dependencies; * How best to use Rust's advanced
compiler with compiler-led programming techniques
You'll find plenty of code examples throughout the
book, as well as three chapters dedicated to building
complete projects to test your learning: a number
guessing game, a Rust implementation of a command line
tool, and a multithreaded server. New to this edition:
An extended section on Rust macros, an expanded chapter
on modules, and appendixes on Rust development tools

While precision tuning techniques are available, they
are designed for serial programs and are
accuracy-driven, i.e., they consider configurations
that satisfy accuracy constraints, but these
configurations may degrade performance. GPUMixer, in
contrast, presents a performance-driven approach for
tuning. We introduce a novel static analysis that finds
Fast Imprecise Sets (FISets), sets of operations on low
precision that minimize type conversions, which often
yield performance speedups. To estimate the relative
error introduced by GPU mixed-precision, we propose
shadow computations analysis for GPUs, the first of
this class for multi-threaded applications. GPUMixer
obtains performance improvements of up to 46.4\% of the
ideal speedup in comparison to only 20.7\% found by
state-of-the-art methods.",

abstract = "Massive multi-threading in GPU imposes tremendous
pressure on memory subsystems. Due to rapid growth in
thread-level parallelism of GPU and slowly improved
peak memory bandwidth, memory becomes a bottleneck of
GPU's performance and energy efficiency. In this
article, we propose an integrated architectural scheme
to optimize the memory accesses and therefore boost the
performance and energy efficiency of GPU. First, we
propose a thread batch enabled memory partitioning
(TEMP) to improve GPU memory access parallelism. In
particular, TEMP groups multiple thread blocks that
share the same set of pages into a thread batch and
applies a page coloring mechanism to bound each stream
multiprocessor (SM) to the dedicated memory banks.
After that, TEMP dispatches the thread batch to an SM
to ensure high-parallel memory-access streaming from
the different thread blocks. Second, a thread
batch-aware scheduling (TBAS) scheme is introduced to
improve the GPU memory access locality and to reduce
the contention on memory controllers and
interconnection networks. Experimental results show
that the integration of TEMP and TBAS can achieve up to
10.3\% performance improvement and 11.3\% DRAM energy
reduction across diverse GPU applications. We also
evaluate the performance interference of the mixed
CPU+GPU workloads when they are run on a heterogeneous
system that employs our proposed schemes. Our results
show that a simple solution can effectively ensure the
efficient execution of both GPU and CPU applications.",

levels in modern microprocessors induce higher soft
error rates. This trend makes reliability a primary

multithreading (RMT) makes use of parallelism in modern
systems by employing thread-level time redundancy for
fault detection and recovery. RMT can detect faults by
running identical copies of the program as separate
threads in parallel execution units with identical
inputs and comparing their outputs. In this article, we
present a survey of RMT implementations at different
architectural levels with several design
considerations. We explain the implementations in
seminal papers and their extensions and discuss the
design choices employed by the techniques. We review
both hardware and software approaches by presenting the
main characteristics and analyze the studies with
different design choices regarding their strengths and
weaknesses. We also present a classification to help
potential users find a suitable method for their
requirement and to guide researchers planning to work

abstract = "Deep neural networks have become the readiest answer
to a range of application challenges including image
recognition, stock analysis, natural language
processing, and biomedical applications such as seizure
detection. All while outperforming prior leading
solutions that relied heavily on hand-engineered
techniques. However, deployment of these neural
networks often requires high-computational and
memory-intensive solutions. These requirements make it
challenging to deploy Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in
embedded, real-time low-power applications where
classic architectures, GPUs and CPUs, still impose
significant power burden. Systems-on-Chip (SoC) with
Field-programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) can be used to
improve performance and allow more fine-grain control
of resources than CPUs or GPUs, but it is difficult to
find the optimal balance between hardware and software
to improve DNN efficiency. In the current research
literature there have been few proposed solutions to
address optimizing hardware and software deployments of
DNNs in embedded low-power systems. To address the
computation resource restriction and low-power needs
for deploying these networks, we describe and implement
a domain-specific metric model for optimizing task
deployment on differing platforms, hardware and
software. Next, we propose a DNN hardware accelerator
called Scalable Low-power Accelerator for real-time
deep neural Networks (SCALENet) that includes
multithreaded software workers. Finally, we propose a
heterogeneous aware scheduler that uses the
DNN-specific metric models and the SCALENet accelerator
to allocate a task to a resource based on solving a
numerical cost for a series of domain objectives. To
demonstrate the applicability of our contribution, we
deploy nine modern deep network architectures, each
containing a different number of parameters within the
context of two different neural network applications:
image processing and biomedical seizure detection.
Utilizing the metric modeling techniques integrated
into the heterogeneous aware scheduler and the SCALENet
accelerator, we demonstrate the ability to meet
computational requirements, adapt to multiple
architectures, and lower power by providing an
optimized task to resource allocation. Our
heterogeneous aware scheduler improves power saving by
decreasing power consumption by 10\% of the total
system power, does not affect the accuracy of the
networks, and still meets the real-time deadlines. We
demonstrate the ability to achieve parity with or
exceed the energy efficiency of NVIDIA GPUs when
evaluated against Jetson TK1 with embedded GPU SoC and
with a 4$ \times $ power savings in a power envelope of
2.0W. When compared to existing FPGA-based
accelerators, SCALENet's accelerator and heterogeneous
aware scheduler achieves a 4$ \times $ improvement in
energy efficiency.",

not rare for a PU input to be zero-valued, in which

employ the underutilized PUs via simultaneous
multithreading (SMT). We explore the design space of a
SMT-SA variant and evaluate its performance, area
efficiency, and energy consumption. In addition, we
suggest a tiling method to reduce area overheads. Our
evaluation shows that a 4-thread FP16-based SMT-SA

abstract = "The most dangerous security-related software errors,
according to the OWASP Top Ten 2017 list, affect web
applications. They are potential injection attacks that
exploit user-provided data to execute undesired
operations: database access and updates ( SQL injection
); generation of malicious web pages ( cross-site
scripting injection ); redirection to user-specified
web pages ( redirect injection ); execution of OS
commands and arbitrary scripts ( command injection );
loading of user-specified, possibly heavy or dangerous
classes at run time ( reflection injection ); access to
arbitrary files on the file system ( path-traversal );
and storing user-provided data into heap regions
normally assumed to be shielded from the outside world
( trust boundary violation ). All these attacks exploit
the same weakness: unconstrained propagation of data
from sources that the user of a web application
controls into sinks whose activation might trigger
dangerous operations. Although web applications are
written in a variety of languages, Java remains a
frequent choice, in particular for banking
applications, where security has tangible relevance.
This article defines a unified, sound protection
mechanism against such attacks, based on the
identification of all possible explicit flows of
tainted data in Java code. Such flows can be
arbitrarily complex, passing through dynamically
allocated data structures in the heap. The analysis is
based on abstract interpretation and is
interprocedural, flow-sensitive, and context-sensitive.
Its notion of taint applies to reference
(non-primitive) types dynamically allocated in the heap
and is object-sensitive and field-sensitive. The
analysis works by translating the program into Boolean
formulas that model all possible data flows. Its
implementation, within the Julia analyzer for Java and
Android, found injection security vulnerabilities in
the Internet banking service and in the customer
relationship management of large Italian banks, as well
as in a set of open-source third-party applications. It
found the command injection, which is at the origin of
the 2017 Equifax data breach, one of the worst data
breaches ever. For objective, repeatable results, this
article also evaluates the implementation on two
open-source security benchmarks: the Juliet Suite and
the OWASP Benchmark for the automatic comparison of
static analyzers for cybersecurity. We compared this
technique against more than 10 other static analyzers,
both free and commercial. The result of these
experiments is that ours is the only analysis for
injection that is sound (up to well-stated limitations
such as multithreading and native code) and works on
industrial code, and it is also much more precise than
other tools.",

abstract = "GEneral Matrix Multiply (GEMM) is the most fundamental
computational kernel routine in the BLAS library. To
achieve high performance, in-memory data must be
prefetched into fast on-chip caches before they are
used. Two techniques, software prefetching and data
packing, have been used to effectively exploit the
capability of on-chip least recent used (LRU) caches,
which are popular in traditional high-performance
processors used in high-end servers and supercomputers.
However, the market has recently witnessed a new
diversity in processor design, resulting in
high-performance processors equipped with shared caches
with non-LRU replacement policies. This poses a
challenge to the development of high-performance GEMM
in a multithreaded context. As several threads try to
load data into a shared cache simultaneously,
interthread cache conflicts will increase
significantly. We present a Shared Cache Partitioning
(SCP) method to eliminate interthread cache conflicts
in the GEMM routines, by partitioning a shared cache
into physically disjoint sets and assigning different
sets to different threads. We have implemented SCP in
the OpenBLAS library and evaluated it on Phytium 2000+,
a 64-core AArch64 processor with private LRU L1 caches
and shared pseudo-random L2 caches (per four-core
cluster). Our evaluation shows that SCP has effectively
reduced the conflict misses in both L1 and L2 caches in
a highly optimized GEMM implementation, resulting in an
improvement of its performance by 2.75\% to 6.91\%.",

debugging non-deterministic parallel programs by first
recording an execution and then replaying that
execution to produce the same access pattern. Existing
record-and-replay systems generally target thread-based
execution models, and record the behaviors and
interleavings of individual threads. Dynamic
multithreaded languages and libraries, such as the Cilk
family, OpenMP, TBB, and the like, do not have a notion
of threads. Instead, these languages provide a
processor-oblivious model of programming, where
programs expose task parallelism using high-level
constructs such as spawn/sync without regard to the
number of threads/cores available to run the program.
Thread-based record-and-replay would violate the
processor-oblivious nature of these programs, as they
incorporate the number of threads into the recorded
information, constraining the replayed execution to the
same number of threads. In this article, we present a
processor-oblivious record-and-replay scheme for
dynamic multithreaded languages where record and replay
can use different number of processors and both are
scheduled using work stealing. We provide theoretical
guarantees for our record and replay scheme-namely that
record is optimal for programs with one lock and replay
is near-optimal for all cases. In addition, we
implemented this scheme in the Cilk Plus runtime system
and our evaluation indicates that
processor-obliviousness does not cause substantial
overheads.",

Epiphany and Sunway TaihuLight, employ per-core
software-controlled Scratchpad Memory (SPM) rather than
caches for better performance-per-watt and
predictability. In these architectures, a core is
allowed to access its own SPM as well as remote SPMs
through the Network-On-Chip (NoC). However, the
compiler/programmer is required to explicitly manage
the movement of data between SPMs and off-chip memory.
Utilizing SPMs for multi-threaded applications is even
more challenging, as the shared variables across the
threads need to be placed appropriately. Accessing
variables from remote SPMs with higher access latency
further complicates this problem as certain links in
the NoC may be heavily contended by multiple threads.
Therefore, certain variables may need to be replicated
in multiple SPMs to reduce the contention delay and/or
the overall access time. We present Coordinated Data
Management (CDM), a compile-time framework that
automatically identifies shared/private variables and
places them with replication (if necessary) to suitable
on-chip or off-chip memory, taking NoC contention into
consideration. We develop both an exact Integer Linear
Programming (ILP) formulation as well as an iterative,
scalable algorithm for placing the data variables in
multi-threaded applications on many-core SPMs.
Experimental evaluation on the Parallella hardware

to accelerate non-candidate elimination in each
independent region. Secondly, we propose a
MapReduce-based solution. We generate the convex hull
of query points in the first MapReduce phase. In the
second phase, we calculate independent regions based on
the input data points and the convex hull of the query
points. With the independent regions, spatial skylines
are evaluated in parallel in the third phase, in which
data points are partitioned by their associated
independent regions in map functions, and spatial
skyline candidates are calculated by reduce functions.
The results of the spatial skyline queries are the
union of outputs from the reduce functions. Our
experimental results show that GPU multi-threading
scheme is very efficient on small-scale input datasets.
On the contrary, MapReduce scheme performs very well on
large-scale input datasets.",

abstract = "WebAssembly (Wasm) is a safe, portable virtual
instruction set that can be hosted in a wide range of
environments, such as a Web browser. It is a low-level
language whose instructions are intended to compile
directly to bare hardware. While the initial version of
Wasm focussed on single-threaded computation, a recent
proposal extends it with low-level support for multiple
threads and atomic instructions for synchronised access
to shared memory. To support the correct compilation of
concurrent programs, it is necessary to give a suitable
specification of its memory model.\par
Wasm's language definition is based on a fully
formalised specification that carefully avoids
undefined behaviour. We present a substantial extension
to this semantics, incorporating a relaxed memory
model, along with a few proposed extensions. Wasm's
memory model is unique in that its linear address space
can be dynamically grown during execution, while all
accesses are bounds-checked. This leads to the novel
problem of specifying how observations about the size
of the memory can propagate between threads. We argue
that, considering desirable compilation schemes, we
cannot give a sequentially consistent semantics to
memory growth.\par
We show that our model provides sequential consistency
for data-race-free executions (SC-DRF). However,
because Wasm is to run on the Web, we must also
consider interoperability of its model with that of
JavaScript. We show, by counter-example, that
JavaScript's memory model is not SC-DRF, in contrast to
what is claimed in its specification. We propose two
axiomatic conditions that should be added to the
JavaScript model to correct this difference.\par
We also describe a prototype SMT-based litmus tool
which acts as an oracle for our axiomatic model,
visualising its behaviours, including memory
resizing.",

abstract = "High-utility itemset mining is a popular data mining
problem that considers utility factors, such as
quantity and unit profit of items besides frequency
measure from the transactional database. It helps to
find the most valuable and profitable products/items
that are difficult to track by using only the frequent
itemsets. An item might have a high-profit value which
is rare in the transactional database and has a
tremendous importance. While there are many existing
algorithms to find high-utility itemsets (HUIs) that
generate comparatively large candidate sets, our main
focus is on significantly reducing the computation time
with the introduction of new pruning strategies. The
designed pruning strategies help to reduce the
visitation of unnecessary nodes in the search space,
which reduces the time required by the algorithm. In
this article, two new stricter upper bounds are
designed to reduce the computation time by refraining
from visiting unnecessary nodes of an itemset. Thus,
the search space of the potential HUIs can be greatly
reduced, and the mining procedure of the execution time
can be improved. The proposed strategies can also
significantly minimize the transaction database
generated on each node. Experimental results showed
that the designed algorithm with two pruning strategies
outperform the state-of-the-art algorithms for mining
the required HUIs in terms of runtime and number of
revised candidates. The memory usage of the designed
algorithm also outperforms the state-of-the-art
approach. Moreover, a multi-thread concept is also
discussed to further handle the problem of big
datasets.",

by running thousands of threads in parallel. To fully
utilize the their hardware, contemporary workloads
spawn work to the GPU in bulk by launching large tasks,
where each task is a kernel that contains thousands of
threads that occupy the entire GPU. GPUs face severe
underutilization and their performance benefits vanish
if the tasks are narrow, i.e., they contain less than
512 threads. Latency-sensitive applications in network,
signal, and image processing that generate a large
number of tasks with relatively small inputs are
examples of such limited parallelism. This article
presents Pagoda, a runtime system that virtualizes GPU
resources, using an OS-like daemon kernel called
MasterKernel. Tasks are spawned from the CPU onto
Pagoda as they become available, and are scheduled by
the MasterKernel at the warp granularity. This level of
control enables the GPU to keep scheduling and
executing tasks as long as free warps are found,
dramatically reducing underutilization. Experimental
results on real hardware demonstrate that Pagoda
achieves a geometric mean speedup of 5.52X over

that utilize auxiliary data structures to enable early

novel challenge because computation shifts higher up in

perform well despite requiring evaluation of the

introduce the concept of rank uncertainty, a measure of
work efficiency that enables classifying existing
solutions according to their potential for efficient

reordering and layering strategies as those having the
highest potential and provide practical guidelines on
how to adapt them for parallel in-memory execution

show that the number of object evaluations can be
further decreased by combining data reordering with

abstract = "Clojure was designed to be a general-purpose,
practical functional language, suitable for use by
professionals wherever its host language, e.g., Java,
would be. Initially designed in 2005 and released in
2007, Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, but is not a direct
descendant of any prior Lisp. It complements
programming with pure functions of immutable data with
concurrency-safe state management constructs that
support writing correct multithreaded programs without
the complexity of mutex locks.\par
Clojure is intentionally hosted, in that it compiles to
and runs on the runtime of another language, such as
the JVM. This is more than an implementation strategy;
numerous features ensure that programs written in
Clojure can leverage and interoperate with the
libraries of the host language directly and
efficiently.\par
In spite of combining two (at the time) rather
unpopular ideas, functional programming and Lisp,
Clojure has since seen adoption in industries as
diverse as finance, climate science, retail, databases,
analytics, publishing, healthcare, advertising and
genomics, and by consultancies and startups worldwide,
much to the career-altering surprise of its
author.\par
Most of the ideas in Clojure were not novel, but their
combination puts Clojure in a unique spot in language
design (functional, hosted, Lisp). This paper recounts
the motivation behind the initial development of
Clojure and the rationale for various design decisions
and language constructs. It then covers its evolution
subsequent to release and adoption.",

abstract = "In this paper, we consider the following dynamic fair
allocation problem: Given a sequence of job arrivals
and departures, the goal is to maintain an
approximately fair allocation of the resource against a
target fair allocation policy, while minimizing he
total number of disruptions, which is the number of
times the allocation of any job is changed. We consider
a rich class of fair allocation policies that
significantly generalize those considered in previous
work. We first consider the models where jobs only
arrive, or jobs only depart. We present tight upper and
lower bounds for the number of disruptions required to
maintain a constant approximate fair allocation every
time step. In particular, for the canonical case where
jobs have weights and the resource allocation is
proportional to the job's weight, we show that
maintaining a constant approximate fair allocation
requires $ \Theta (\log^* n) $ disruptions per job,
almost matching the bounds in prior work for the unit
weight case. For the more general setting where the
allocation policy only decreases the allocation to a
job when new jobs arrive, we show that maintaining a
constant approximate fair allocation requires $ \Thta
(\log n) $ disruptions per job. We then consider the
model where jobs can both arrive and depart. We first
show strong lower bounds on the number of disruptions
required to maintain constant approximate fairness for
arbitrary instances. In contrast we then show that
there there is an algorithm that can maintain constant
approximate fairness with $ O(1) $ expected disruptions
per job if the weights of the jobs are independent of
the jobs arrival and departure order. We finally show
how our results can be extended to the setting with
multiple resources.",

leverages the existing Single Instruction Multiple Data

although SIMT-X invokes a restricted form of

captures a majority of the benefits of aggressive OoO
execution using at most two concurrent register
mappings per architectural register, while addressing
issues of partial dependencies and supporting a

replacement, cache sets manage a buffer which orders
all cache lines in the set from LRU to most recently
used (MRU). When a cache line is brought into cache, it
is placed at the MRU and the LRU line is evicted. When
re-accessed, a line is promoted to the MRU position.
LRU replacement provides a simple heuristic to predict
the optimal cache line to evict. However, LRU utilizes
only simple, short-term access patterns. In this paper,
we propose a method that uses a buffer called the
history queue to record longer-term access-eviction
patterns than the LRU buffer can capture. Using this
information, we make a simple modification to LRU
insertion policy such that recently-recalled blocks
have priority over others. As lines are evicted, their
addresses are recorded in a FIFO history queue.
Incoming lines that have recently been evicted and now
recalled (those in the history queue at recall time)
remain in the MRU for an extended period of time as
non-recalled lines entering the cache thereafter are
placed below the MRU. We show that the proposed LRU
insertion prioritization increases performance in
single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads in
simulations with simple adjustments to baseline LRU.",

abstract = "In 2014, Steele, Lea, and Flood presented SplitMix, an
object-oriented pseudorandom number generator (prng)
that is quite fast (9 64-bit arithmetic/logical
operations per 64 bits generated) and also splittable.
A conventional prng object provides a generate method
that returns one pseudorandom value and updates the
state of the prng; a splittable prng object also has a
second operation, split, that replaces the original
prng object with two (seemingly) independent prng
objects, by creating and returning a new such object
and updating the state of the original object.
Splittable prng objects make it easy to organize the
use of pseudorandom numbers in multithreaded programs
structured using fork-join parallelism. This overall
strategy still appears to be sound, but the specific
arithmetic calculation used for generate in the
SplitMix algorithm has some detectable weaknesses, and
the period of any one generator is limited to
264.\par
Here we present the LXM family of prng algorithms. The
idea is an old one: combine the outputs of two
independent prng algorithms, then (optionally) feed the
result to a mixing function. An LXM algorithm uses a
linear congruential subgenerator and an F2-linear
subgenerator; the examples studied in this paper use a
linear congruential generator (LCG) of period 216, 232,
264, or 2128 with one of the multipliers recommended by
L'Ecuyer or by Steele and Vigna, and an F2-linear
xor-based generator (XBG) of the xoshiro family or
xoroshiro family as described by Blackman and Vigna.
For mixing functions we study the MurmurHash3 finalizer
function; variants by David Stafford, Doug Lea, and
degski; and the null (identity) mixing
function.\par
Like SplitMix, LXM provides both a generate operation
and a split operation. Also like SplitMix, LXM requires
no locking or other synchronization (other than the
usual memory fence after instance initialization), and
is suitable for use with simd instruction sets because
it has no branches or loops.\par
We analyze the period and equidistribution properties
of LXM generators, and present the results of thorough
testing of specific members of this family, using the
TestU01 and PractRand test suites, not only on single
instances of the algorithm but also for collections of
instances, used in parallel, ranging in size from 2 to
224. Single instances of LXM that include a strong
mixing function appear to have no major weaknesses, and
LXM is significantly more robust than SplitMix against
accidental correlation in a multithreaded setting. We
believe that LXM, like SplitMix, is suitable for
``everyday'' scientific and machine-learning
applications (but not cryptographic applications),
especially when concurrent threads or distributed
processes are involved.",

the process of computing the eigenvalues and the

describes a task-based $ Q R $ algorithm for reducing
an upper Hessenberg matrix to real Schur form. The
task-based algorithm also supports generalized
eigenvalue problems ($ Q Z $ algorithm) but this paper
concentrates on the standard case. The task-based
algorithm adopts previous algorithmic improvements,
such as tightly-coupled multi-shifts and Aggressive
Early Deflation (AED), and also incorporates several
new ideas that significantly improve the performance.
This includes, but is not limited to, the elimination
of several synchronization points, the dynamic merging
of previously separate computational steps, the
shortening and the prioritization of the critical path,
and experimental GPU support. The task-based
implementation is demonstrated to be multiple times
faster than multi-threaded LAPACK and ScaLAPACK in both
single-node and multi-node configurations on two
different machines based on Intel and AMD CPUs. The
implementation is built on top of the StarPU runtime

abstract = "Motivated by the wish to understand the achievable
performance of finite element assembly on unstructured
computational meshes, we dissect the standard cellwise
assembly algorithm into four kernels, two of which are
dominated by irregular memory traffic. Several
optimisation schemes are studied together with
associated lower and upper bounds on the estimated
memory traffic volume. Apart from properly reordering
the mesh entities, the two most significant
optimisations include adopting a lookup table in adding
element matrices or vectors to their global
counterparts, and using a row-wise assembly algorithm
for multi-threaded parallelisation. Rigorous
benchmarking shows that, due to the various
optimisations, the actual volumes of memory traffic are
in many cases very close to the estimated lower bounds.
These results confirm the effectiveness of the
optimisations, while also providing a recipe for
developing efficient software for finite element
assembly.",
