Using Synthetic-Perturbation Techniques for Tuning Shared Memory Programs

The Synthetic-Perturbation Tuning (SPT) methodology is base d on compirical approach that introduces artificial delays into the MIMD program and captures the effects of such delays by using the modrn branch statistics called design of experiments.
