Sustained exposure to glucocorticoids (GCs), adrenal hormones secreted during stress, can
cause neural degeneration in the rat. This is particularly so in the hippocampus, a principal …

To improve the performance of a single application on Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs), the
application must be split into threads which execute concurrently on multiple cores. In multi-…

Extracting high-performance from the emerging Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) requires that
the application be divided into multiple threads. Each thread executes on a separate core …

Performance of multithreaded applications is limited by a variety of bottlenecks, eg critical
sections, barriers and slow pipeline stages. These bottlenecks serialize execution, waste …

Asymmetric Chip Multiprocessors (ACMPs) are becoming a reality. ACMPs can speed up
parallel applications if they can identify and accelerate code segments that are critical for …

Several researchers have recognized in recent years that today's workloads require a micro
architecture that can handle single-threaded code at high performance, and multi-threaded …

Caches are organized at a line-size granularity to exploit spatial locality. However, when
spatial locality is low, many words in the cache line are not used. Unused words occupy cache …

Several wild olive baboons from a single troop in the Masai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya
were observed to be lethargic and emaciated. Five were trapped and tuberculin tested by …

Extracting high performance from Chip Multiprocessors requires that the application be
parallelized. A common software technique to parallelize loops is pipeline parallelism in which …
