Serialization of threads due to critical sections is a fundamental bottleneck achieving high performance in multithreaded programs. Dynamically, such serialization may be unnecessary because these could have safely executed concurrently without locks. Current processors cannot fully exploit parallelism they do not mechanisms dynamically detect false inter-thread dependences. We propose Speculative Lock Elision (SLE), novel micro-architectural technique remove lock-induced and enable highly...

This paper makes the case that pin bandwidth will be a critical consideration for future microprocessors. We show many of techniques used to tolerate growing memory latencies do so at expense increased requirements. Using decomposition execution time, we modern processors employ aggressive latency tolerance techniques, wasted cycles due insufficient generally exceed those raw latencies. Given importance maximizing bandwidth, calculate effective then estimate optimal bandwidth. measure these...
This paper is motivated by the difficulty in writing correct high-performance programs. Writing shared-memory multi-threaded programs imposes a complex trade-off between programming ease and performance, largely due to subtleties coordinating access shared data. To ensure correctness programmers often rely on conservative locking at expense of performance. The resulting serialization threads performance bottleneck. Locks also interact poorly with thread scheduling faults, poor system...
The importance of reducing processor-memory bandwidth is recognized in two distinct situations: single board computer systems and microprocessors the future. Cache memory investigated as a way to reduce memory-processor traffic. We show that traditional caches which depend heavily on spatial locality (look-ahead) for their performance are inappropriate these environments because they generate large bursts bus A cache exploiting primarily temporal (look-behind) then proposed demonstrated be...
This paper proposes a set of efficient primitives for process synchronization in multiprocessors. The only assumptions made developing the are that hardware combining is not implemented inter-connect, and (in one case) interconnect supports broadcast. make use bits (syncbits) to provide simple mechanism mutual exclusion. proposed implementation includes ( i.e. local) busy-waiting syncbits. In addition, hardware-supported maintaining first-come first-serve queue requests syncbit proposed....
We discuss the issues about interdependency between code scheduling and register allocation. present two methods as solutions: (1) an integrated technique; (2) a DAG-driven allocator. The method combines techniques—one to reduce pipeline delays other minimize usage—into single phase. By keeping track of number available registers, scheduler can choose appropriate technique schedule better sequence. allocator uses dependency graph assist in assigning registers; it introduces much less extra...

Abstract The biodiversity and high productivity of coastal terrestrial aquatic habitats are the foundation for important benefits to human societies around world. These globally distributed need frequent broad systematic assessments, but field surveys only cover a small fraction these areas. Satellite‐based sensors can repeatedly record visible near‐infrared reflectance spectra that contain absorption, scattering, fluorescence signatures functional phytoplankton groups, colored dissolved...

Casualization of teaching has become a major issue in Australian universities. In 1990 casuals delivered about tenth all university teaching. By 2008 between third and half was being by casuals. Quantitative studies have assessed the scale casualization; this qualitative study addresses experience casual academics. It documents sharpening class divide among academics, which institutionally embedded. reports on interviews with academics examining how is experienced, it may be addressed....
Justice globalism, as an ideological field, emerged to prominence from 2001 with the World Social Forum. It has offered powerful responses market grounding alternatives well refusals. With intensification of global warming, question climate justice is increasingly subsuming issues justice. Climate offers a distinct trajectory, its own dilemmas and potentials. The article addresses these differences along six axes: scope, discourse, space, strategy, temporality, agency. argued that totalising...
Efficient synchronization primitives are essential for achieving high performance in fine-grain, shared-memory parallel programs. One function of is to enable exclusive access shared data and critical sections code. This paper makes three contributions. (1) We enumerate the five sources overhead that locking can incur. (2) describe four mechanisms (local spinning, queue-based locking, collocation, synchronized prefetch) reduce these overheads. (3) With detailed simulations, we show extent...
In a pipelined-channel interconnection network, multiple bits may be simultaneously in flight on single wire. This allows the cycle time of network to independent wire lengths, significantly affecting design trade-offs. paper investigates and performance pipelined channel k-ary n-cube networks, with particular emphasis choice dimensionality radix. Networks are investigated under constant link width, node size bisection constraints. We find that optimal networks is higher than...

With the increasing availability of high-speed multiplication units in large computers it is attractive to develop an iterative procedure compute division and square root, using as primary operation. In this paper, we present three new methods performing rooting rapidly which utilize no division. Each algorithm considered for convergence rate, efficiency, implementation. The most typical efficient one already-known algorithms utilizes multiplication, here called N algorithm, introduced...
Methane (CH4) emissions by dairy cows vary with feed intake and diet composition. Even when fed on the same at intake, however, variation between in CH4 can be substantial.

The transnational capitalist class is using the global ecological crisis to revive its failing financial system. Whereas environmental degradation was once seen as imposing a limit on economic accumulation, in new 'green economy', ecologism appears become rationale for extending market activity. intensification of neoliberal extraction, and corresponding social debt, meets resistance from justice movement whose articulation counter position increasingly sophisticated.
