TL;DR: In this article, an instruction specifying: a destination operand, a size of vector elements, a source operand and a mask corresponding to a portion of the vector element data fields in the source operands, corresponding to the mask and compare the values for equality.

TL;DR: A vector friendly instruction format as mentioned in this paper has a plurality of fields including a base operation field, a modifier field, an augmentation operation field and a data element width field, wherein the first instruction format supports different versions of base operations and different augmentation operations through placement of different values in the base operator field, the modifier field and the alpha field.

TL;DR: A model-tree based approach based on the M5' algorithm is implemented and validated that accounts for event interactions and workload characteristics, attesting it as a sound approach for performance analysis of modern superscalar machines.

TL;DR: A general fault-tolerant event detection scheme that allows nodes to detect erroneous local decisions by leveraging the local decisions reported by their neighbors and is proven to be optimal under the maximum a posteriori (MAP) criterion.

TL;DR: A distributed algorithm to solve the unique ID assignment problem is presented and it is demonstrated that a high percentage of nodes are assigned globally unique IDs at the termination of the algorithm when the algorithm parameters are set properly.
