The Cloud as an OpenMP Offloading Device
Computation offloading is a programming model in which program fragments (e.g. hot loops) are annotated so that their execution is performed in dedicated hardware or

Performance Evaluation of Thread-Level Speculation in Off-the-Shelf Hardware Transactional Memories
Thread-LevelSpeculation(TLS)isahardware/softwaretech- nique that enables the execution of multiple loop iterations in parallel, even in the presence of some loop-carried dependences. TLS requires hardware mechanisms to
Using Hardware-Transactional-Memory Support to Implement Thread-Level Speculation
When a compiler cannot prove that a loop can be executed in parallel but it can estimate with high probability that the loop iterations will
Compiling and Optimizing OpenMP 4.X Programs to OpenCL and SPIR
Given their massively parallel computing capabilities heterogeneous architectures comprised of CPUs and accelerators have been increasingly used to speed-up scientific and engineering applications. Nevertheless, programming
Data Coherence Analysis and Optimization for Heterogenous Computing
Although heterogeneous computing has enabled impressive program speed-ups, knowledge about the architecture of the target device is still critical to reap full hardware benefits. Programming
Solid–Vapor Reaction Growth of Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide Monolayers
Two-dimensional (2D) layered semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are promising candidates for next-generation ultrathin, flexible, and transparent electronics. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a promising method
Dangermond Lecture 2017 – Discovering and clearing paths through the world— The pros and cons of graph databases
Graph Database systems are being increasingly adopted by the data research community for situations in which there is a need to explore ad hoc relationships
Prof. Claudia Bauzer Medeiros presents a talk on eScience and experiment reproducibility at Texas A&M University
Talk abstract — eScience can be defined as joint research in Computer Science and other domains, to let scientists from these domains conduct their research
