Optimizing counterinsurgency operations
The United States military requires models that estimate the number of forces needed or that measure success during a counterinsurgency. These types of models depend on data from historic counterinsurgencies, but scholars differ on how to compare historic counterinsurgencies to an ongoing or future …

Cache coherent commutative operations
… both single-word and multi-word commutative data operations, which are implemented as x86-64 ISA extensions. To evaluate single-word instructions, this thesis presents a case study of a new reference counting scheme, and for multi-word commutative operations, this thesis describes the design of a …
