In recent years, programmable many-core accelerators (PMCAs) have been introduced in
embedded systems to satisfy stringent performance/Watt requirements. This has increased …

To efficiently exploit high performance computing platforms, applications currently have to
express more and more finer-grain parallelism. The OpenMP standard allows programmers …

Cluster-based architectures are increasingly being adopted to design embedded many-
cores. These platforms can deliver very high peak performance within a contained power …

Multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoC) are now considered first-class citizens both in the
embedded systems and in the high-performance computing arenas, in the form of …

Programmers today face a bewildering array of parallel programming models and tools,
making it difficult to choose an appropriate one for each application. An increasingly popular …

In this work we present a highly efficient implementation of OpenMP tasks. It is based on a
runtime infrastructure architected for data locality, a crucial prerequisite for exploiting the …

Energy is now critical in all aspects of computing. We address a class of programs that
includes so-called “stencil computations.” We address energy optimization of such …

In this work we propose a novel technique to reduce the overheads related to nested
parallel loops in OpenMP programs. In particular we show that in many cases it is possible …

Programmers today face a bewildering array of parallel programming models and tools,
making it difficult to choose an appropriate one for each application. The present study …

Modern designs for embedded systems are increasingly embracing cluster-based
architectures, where small sets of cores communicate through tightly-coupled shared …
