Data value prediction has been widely accepted as an effective mechanism to break data hazards for high performance processor design. Several works have reported promising performance potential. However, there is hardly enough information that is presented in a clear way about performance comparison of these prediction mechanisms. This paper investigates the performance impact of four previously proposed value predictors, namely last value predictor, stride value predictor, two-level value predictor and hybrid (stride-t-two-level) predictor. The impact of misprediction penalty, which has been frequently ignored, is discussed in detail. Several other implementation issues, including instruction window size, issue width and branch predictor are also addressed and simulated. Simulation results indicate that data value predictors act differently under different configurations. In some cases, simpler schemes may be more beneficial than complicated ones. In some particular cases, value prediction may have negative impact on performance.

Nowadays, the performance of large-scale parallel computer system improves continuously, and the system scale becomes extremely large. Performance prediction has become an important approach to guide system design, implementation and optimization. Simulation method is the most widely used performance prediction technology for large-scale parallel computer system. In this paper, after analyzing the extant problems, we proposed a novel execution-driven performance simulation technology based on process-switch. We designed a simulation framework named PS-SIM, and implemented a prototype system based on MPICH2. Finally, we verified the proposed approach by experiments. Experimental results show that the approach has high accuracy and simulation performance.

The advancement in the process leads to more concern about the Single Event(SE) sensitivity of the Differential Cascade Voltage Switch Logic(DCVSL) circuits. The simulation results indicate that the Single Event Transient(SET) generated at the DCVSL gate is much larger than that at the ordinary CMOS gate, and their SET variation is different. Based on charge collection, in this paper, the effective collection time theory is proposed to set forth the SET pulse generated at the DCVSL gate. Through 3D TCAD mixed-mode simulation in 65 nm twin-well bulk CMOS process, the effects on SET variation of device parameters such as well contact size and environment parameters such as voltage are investigated.

Recently, GPU has been widely used in High Performance Computing (HPC). In order to improve computational performance, several GPUs are integrated into one computer node in practical system. However, power consumption of GPUs is very high and becomes as bottleneck to its further development. In doing so, optimizing power consumption have been draw broad attention in the research area and industry community. In this paper, we present an energy optimization model considering performance constraint for homogeneous multi-GPUs, and propose a performance prediction model when task partitioning policy is specified. Experiment results validate that the model can accurately predict the execution of program for single or multiple GPUs, and thus reduce static power consumption by the guide of task partition.

It is widely believed that Shor's factoring algorithm provides a driving force to boost the quantum computing ***, a serious obstacle to its binary implementation is the large number of quantum gates. Non-binary quantum computing is an efficient way to reduce the required number of elemental gates. Here, we propose optimization schemes for Shor's algorithm implementation and take a ternary version for factorizing 21 as an example. The optimized factorization is achieved by a two-qutrit quantum circuit, which consists of only two single qutrit gates and one ternary controlled-NOT gate. This two-qutrit quantum circuit is then encoded into the nine lower vibrational states of an ion trapped in a weakly anharmonic potential. Optimal control theory(OCT) is employed to derive the manipulation electric field for transferring the encoded states. The ternary Shor's algorithm can be implemented in one single step. Numerical simulation results show that the accuracy of the state transformations is about 0.9919.

On virtualization platforms, peak memory de- mand caused by hotspot applications often triggers page swapping in guest OS, causing performance degradation in- side and outside of this virtual machine (VM). Even though host holds sufficient memory pages, guest OS is unable to utilize free pages in host directly due to the semantic gap between virtual machine monitor (MM) and guest operat- ing system (OS). Our work aims at utilizing the free memory scattered in multiple hosts in a virtualization environment to improve the performance of guest swapping in a transparent and implicit way. Based on the insightful analysis of behav- ioral characteristics of guest swapping, we design and im- plement a distributed and scalable framework HybridSwap. It dynamically constructs virtual swap pools using various policies, and builds up a synthetic swapping mechanism in a peer-to-peer way, which can adaptively choose different vir- tual swap pools. We implement the prototype of HybridSwap and evaluate it with some benchmarks in different scenar- ios. The evaluation results demonstrate that our solution has the ability to promote the guest swapping efficiency indeed and shows a double performance promotion in some cases. Even in the worst case, the system overhead brought by Hy- bridSwap is acceptable.
