Hyper-threadingthumb|Principe de l’hyper-threading. Hyper-threading (officiellement appelée Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT) ou HT Technology (HT)) est la mise en œuvre par l'entreprise Intel du simultaneous multithreading (SMT) à deux voies dans ses microprocesseurs. Le premier modèle grand public de la gamme à en bénéficier fut le Pentium 4 Northwood cadencé à . Le Xeon Northwood en bénéficia auparavant. Schématiquement, l’hyper-threading consiste à créer deux processeurs logiques sur une seule puce, chacun doté de ses propres registres de données et de contrôle, et d’un contrôleur d’interruptions particulier.
ROCmROCm is an Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) software stack for graphics processing unit (GPU) programming. ROCm spans several domains: general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU), high performance computing (HPC), heterogeneous computing. It offers several programming models: HIP (GPU-kernel-based programming), OpenMP/Message Passing Interface (MPI) (directive-based programming), OpenCL. ROCm is free, libre and open-source software (except the GPU firmware blobs), it is distributed under various licenses.
Gather/scatter (vector addressing)Gather/scatter is a type of memory addressing that at once collects (gathers) from, or stores (scatters) data to, multiple, arbitrary indices. Examples of its use include sparse linear algebra operations, sorting algorithms, fast Fourier transforms, and some computational graph theory problems. It is the vector equivalent of register indirect addressing, with gather involving indexed reads, and scatter, indexed writes. Vector processors (and some SIMD units in CPUs) have hardware support for gather and scatter operations.
Taxonomie de FlynnLa taxonomie de Flynn est une classification des architectures d'ordinateur, proposée par Michael Flynn en 1966. Les quatre catégories définies par Flynn sont classées selon le type d'organisation du flux de données et du flux d'instructions. SISD (unique flux d'instructions, unique flux de données) Il s'agit d'un ordinateur séquentiel qui n'exploite aucun parallélisme, tant au niveau des instructions qu'au niveau de la mémoire. Cette catégorie correspond à l'architecture de von Neumann.
Digital image processingDigital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process s through an algorithm. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over . It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and distortion during processing. Since images are defined over two dimensions (perhaps more) digital image processing may be modeled in the form of multidimensional systems.
Temporal multithreadingTemporal multithreading is one of the two main forms of multithreading that can be implemented on computer processor hardware, the other being simultaneous multithreading. The distinguishing difference between the two forms is the maximum number of concurrent threads that can execute in any given pipeline stage in a given cycle. In temporal multithreading the number is one, while in simultaneous multithreading the number is greater than one. Some authors use the term super-threading synonymously.
Yield (multithreading)In computer science, yield is an action that occurs in a computer program during multithreading, of forcing a processor to relinquish control of the current running thread, and sending it to the end of the running queue, of the same scheduling priority. Different programming languages implement yielding in various ways. pthread_yield() in the language C, a low level implementation, provided by POSIX Threads std::this_thread::yield() in the language C++, introduced in C++11.
Peephole optimizationPeephole optimization is an optimization technique performed on a small set of compiler-generated instructions; the small set is known as the peephole or window. Peephole optimization involves changing the small set of instructions to an equivalent set that has better performance.
Object code optimizerAn object code optimizer, sometimes also known as a post pass optimizer or, for small sections of code, peephole optimizer, forms part of a software compiler. It takes the output from the source language compile step - the object code or - and tries to replace identifiable sections of the code with replacement code that is more algorithmically efficient (usually improved speed). The earliest "COBOL Optimizer" was developed by Capex Corporation in the mid 1970s for COBOL.
Optimizing compilerIn computing, an optimizing compiler is a compiler that tries to minimize or maximize some attributes of an executable computer program. Common requirements are to minimize a program's execution time, memory footprint, storage size, and power consumption (the last three being popular for portable computers). Compiler optimization is generally implemented using a sequence of optimizing transformations, algorithms which take a program and transform it to produce a semantically equivalent output program that uses fewer resources or executes faster.
Interblocagethumb|Exemple d'interblocage : le processus P1 utilise la ressource R2 qui est attendue par le processus P2 qui utilise la ressource R1, attendue par P1. Un interblocage (ou étreinte fatale, deadlock en anglais) est un phénomène qui peut survenir en programmation concurrente. L'interblocage se produit lorsque des processus concurrents s'attendent mutuellement. Un processus peut aussi s'attendre lui-même. Les processus bloqués dans cet état le sont définitivement, il s'agit donc d'une situation catastrophique.
Noyau de système d'exploitationUn noyau de système d’exploitation, ou simplement noyau, ou kernel en anglais, est une des parties fondamentales de certains systèmes d’exploitation. Il gère les ressources de l’ordinateur et permet aux différents composants — matériels et logiciels — de communiquer entre eux. En tant que partie du système d’exploitation, le noyau fournit des mécanismes d’abstraction du matériel, notamment de la mémoire, du (ou des) processeur(s), et des échanges d’informations entre logiciels et périphériques matériels.
