The papers will appear in print in our next paper issue. The print issues are distributed to the entire IEEE Computer Society TCCA membership, and e-mail notifications of newly accepted papers are sent on a regular basis to the TCCA and ACM SIGARCH memberships. Papers: - YC. Sohn, NH. Jung, SR. Maeng. "Request Reordering to Enhance the Performance of Strict Consistency Models." - K. A. Shaw, W. J. Dally. "Migration in Single Chip Multiprocessors." The objective of Letters is to publish short (4-page), timely articles of high-quality work. We are very much aware of the long delays in our field between submissions of manuscripts and their eventual appearance in print. We are doing something about that with this journal. After just over one year of operation, we have maintained an average turnaround time from submission to author notification of just one month, with an acceptance rate of 21%. We encourage the community to continue submitting papers to Letters.=20 Submissions are welcomed on any topic in computer architecture, especially but not limited to:=20 - Microprocessor and multiprocessor systems=20 - Microarchitecture and ILP processors=20 - Workload characterization=20 - Performance evaluation and simulation techniques=20 - Compiler-hardware and operating system-hardware interactions=20 - Interconnect architectures=20 - Memory and cache systems=20 - Power and thermal issues at the architecture level=20 - I/O architectures and techniques=20 - Independent validation of previously published results=20 - Analysis of unsuccessful techniques=20 - Network and embedded-systems processors=20 - Real-time and high-availability architectures=20 - Reconfigurable systems=20 The call for papers and instructions for submission can be found at Abstracts --------- YC. Sohn, NH. Jung, SR. Maeng. "Request Reordering to Enhance the Performance of Strict Consistency Models." Abstract: Advances in ILP techniques enable strict consistency=20 models to relax memory order through speculative execution of=20 memory operations. However, ordering constraints still hinder=20 the performance because speculatively executed operations=20 cannot be committed out of program order for the possibility of=20 mis-speculation. In this paper, we propose a new technique which=20 allows memory operations to be non-speculatively committed out=20 of order without violating consistency constraints. =20 K. A. Shaw, W. J. Dally. "Migration in Single Chip Multiprocessors." Abstract: Global communication costs in future single-chip multiprocessors will increase linearly with distance. In this paper, we revisit the issues of locality and load balance in order to take advantage of these new costs. We present a technique which simultaneously migrates data and threads based on vectors specifying locality and resource usage. This technique improves performance on applications with distinguishable locality and imbalanced resource usage. 64% of the ideal reduction in execution time was achieved on an application with these traits while no improvement was obtained on a balanced application with little locality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------= - +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= +++ ASAP 2003 CALL FOR PAPERS +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= +++ 14th IEEE International Conference on Application-specific Systems, Architectures and Processors The Hague, The Netherlands, June 24-26, 2003 http://www.ece.rice.edu/asap2003/ Key dates: February 15, 2003: Deadline for submission of papers March 15, 2003: Acceptance notification April 6, 2003: Camera-ready papers due The conference will cover the theory and practice of application-specific systems, architectures and processors.
