Previous work proposed and evaluated Speculative taskloop (STL) on Intel Core implementing new clauses and constructs in OpenMP. The results indicated that, despite achieving some speed-ups, there was a phenomenon called ...

Global data production has been increasing by approximately 40% per year since the beginning of the last decade. These large datasets, also called Big Data, are posing great challenges in many areas and in particular in ...

Multicore programming is not a trivial task. In some cases, multicore systems have no parallel programming interfaces, which requires operating system support to be made available. This work implements a version of the ...

El presente trabajo aborda el problema de acelerar la ejecución del algoritmo de Smith-Waterman haciendo uso de las instrucciones vectoriales disponibles en las CPU modernas. Como ejemplo de implementaciones de Smith-Waterman ...

This dissertation describes the design and implementation of a suit of static analyses and code generation techniques to annotate programs with OpenMP pragmas for task parallelism. These techniques approximate the ranges ...

The manual transformation of sequential programs into parallel code is not an easy task. It requires very effort and attention of the developer during this process at great risk of introducing errors that can not be ...

As a consequence of the CPU and GPU's architectures advance, in the last years there was a raise of the number of parallel programming APIs for both devices. While OpenMP is used to make parallel programs for the CPU, ...
