As multi-core architectures with Thread-Level Speculation (TLS) are becoming better understood,
it is important to focus on TLS compilation. TLS compilers are interesting in that, while …

Increased focus on JavaScript performance has resulted in vast performance improvements
for many benchmarks. However, for actual code used in websites, the attained …

A platform that supported Sequential Consistency (SC) for all codes --- not only the well-synchronized
ones --- would simplify the task of programmers. Recently, several hardware …

The number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is exhibiting explosive growth. These devices
are often closely coupled to the physical world, and may harvest energy as a power source, …

The rapid progress of physical implementation of quantum computers paved the way of realising
the design of tools to help users write quantum programs for any given quantum devices…

Many code analysis techniques for optimization, debugging, or parallelization need to perform
runtime disambiguation of sets of addresses. Such operations can be supported efficiently …

Recently-proposed architectures that continuously operate on atomic blocks of instructions (also
called chunks) can boost the programmability and performance of shared-memory …

An IF-Condition Invariance Violation (ICIV) occurs when, after a thread has computed the
control expression of an IF statement and while it is executing the THEN or ELSE clauses, …

Modern architectures provide access to many hardware performance events, which are
capable of providing insight into architectural performance bottlenecks throughout the core and …
