Abstracting Multi-Core Topologies with MCTOP

Rachid Guerraoui, Vasileios Trigonakis, Georgios Chatzopoulos

Portability and efficiency are usually antagonists in multi-core computing. In order to develop efficient code, one needs to take into account the topology of the target multi-cores (e.g., for locality). This clearly hampers code portability. In this paper ...
