      Architectural support for data-driven execution 

      Matheou, George; Evripidou, Paraskevas (2014)
      The exponential growth of sequential processors has come to an end, and thus, parallel processing is probably the only way to achieve performance growth. We propose the development of parallel architectures based on ...

      CacheFlow: A short-term optimal cache management policy for data driven multithreading 

      Kyriacou, Costas; Evripidou, Paraskevas; Trancoso, Pedro (2004)
      With Data Driven Multithreading a thread is scheduled for execution only if all of its inputs have been produced and placed in the processor's local memory. Scheduling based on data availability may be used to exploit ...

      Combining compile and run-time dependency resolution in Data-Driven Multithreading 

      Arandi, Samer; Michael, G.; Evripidou, Paraskevas; Kyriacou, Costas (2012)
      Threaded Data-Flow systems schedule threads based on data-availability i.e. a thread can be scheduled for execution only after all its inputs have been generated by its producer threads. This requires that all data ...

      Communication assist for data driven multithreading 

      Kyriacou, Costas; Evripidou, Paraskevas (2003)
      Latency tolerance is one of the main concerns in parallel processing. Data Driven Multithreading, a technique that uses extra hardware to schedule threads for execution based on data availability, allows for better ...

      DDM-CMP: Data-driven multithreading on a chip multiprocessor 

      Stavrou, Kyriakos; Evripidou, Paraskevas; Trancoso, Pedro (2005)
      High-end microprocessors achieve their performance as a result of adding more features and therefore increasing their complexity. In this paper we present DDM-CMP, a Chip-Multiprocessor using the Data-Driven Multithreading ...

      DDM-VMc :The data-driven multithreading virtual machine for the cell processor 

      Arandi, Samer; Evripidou, Paraskevas (2011)
      In this paper we present the Data-Driven Multithreading Virtual Machine for the Cell Processor (DDM-VMc). Data-Driven Multithreading is a non-blocking multithreading model that decouples the synchronization from the ...

      Exploring HPC parallelism with data-driven multithreating 

      Christofides, Constantinos; Michael, G.; Trancoso, Pedro; Evripidou, Paraskevas (IEEE Computer Society, 2013)
      The switch to Multi-core systems has ended the reliance on the single processor for increase in performance and moved into Parallelism. However, the exponential growth in performance of the single processor in the 80's and ...

      Integrating transactions into the data-driven multi-threading model using the tflux platform 

      Diavastos, Andreas; Trancoso, Pedro; Luján, M.; Watson, I. (2012)
      Multi-core processors have renewed interest in programming models which can efficiently exploit general purpose parallelism. Data-Flow is one such model which has demonstrated significant potential in the past. However, ...

      Rapid prototyping of the data-driven chip-multiprocessor (D 2-CMP) using FPGAs 

      Tatas, Konstantinos; Kyriacou, Costas; Evripidou, Paraskevas; Trancoso, Pedro; Wong, S. (2008)
      This paper presents the FPGA implementation of the prototype for the Data-Driven Chip-Multiprocessor (D2-CMP). In particular, we study the implementation of a Thread Synchronization Unit (TSU) on FPGA, a hardware unit that ...

      TFluxSCC: Exploiting performance on future many-core systems through Data-Flow 

      Diavastos, Andreas; Stylianou, Georgios; Trancoso, Pedro (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
      The current trend in processor design is to increase the number of cores as to achieve a desired performance. While having a large number of cores on a chip seems to be feasible in terms of the hardware, the development ...

      Verilog-based simulation of hardware support for Data-flow concurrency on Multicore systems 

      Matheou, George; Evripidou, Paraskevas (IEEE Computer Society, 2013)
      Data-Driven Multithreading (DDM) is a threaded data-flow model that schedules threads for execution based on data availability. DDM is utilizing a Thread Scheduling Unit (TSU) for the management of the threads on sequential ...
