APL2M: Cross-computer software for straightforward language definition and code generation
Abstract
We propose a modern software strategy based upon an unorthodox use of APL, permitting the adaptation of our system both upwards (new applications) and downwards (new processors). The tactic is the exploitation of APL not as a programming language but as a language for a macrogenerator. The purpose of this paper is twofold: first it explains to APL programmers how they can use this language to write assemblers, compilers in a very simple and pleasant manner; second it explains to mini-and microprocessor users that APL is surprisingly a sophisticated but cheap solution to their various software-engineering problems.

An evaluation of speculative instruction execution on simultaneous multithreaded processors
Modern superscalar processors rely heavily on speculative execution for performance. For example, our measurements show that on a 6-issue superscalar, 93% of committed instructions for SPECINT95 are speculative. Without speculation, processor resources ...
