It describes computers with multiple processing elements that perform the same operation on multiple data simultaneously. Thus, such machines exploit data level parallelism. History The first use of SIMD instructions was in vector supercomputers of the early 1970s such as the CDC Star-100 and the Texas Instruments ASC, which could operate on a vector of data with a single instruction. Vector processing was especially popularized by Cray in the 1970s and 1980s. Vector-processing architectures are now considered separate from SIMD machines, based on the fact that vector machines processed the vectors one word at a time through pipelined processors (though still based on a single instruction), whereas modern SIMD machines process all elements of the vector simultaneously.[1] The first era of modern SIMD machines was characterized by massively parallel processing-style supercomputers such as the Thinking Machines CM-1 and CM-2. These machines had many limited-functionality processors that would work in parallel.

The API provably supports invoking illegal instructions on specific platforms [74], leading agility (choosing between multiple algorithms for the same functionality) and multiplexing (choosing between multiple im- to killed processes and even crashing kernels. plementations of the same algorithm). Through abstraction and Since a cryptographic provider is the linchpin of most zero-cost generic programming, we show how agility can simplify security-sensitive applications, its correctness and security are verification without sacrificing performance, and we demonstrate crucial. However, for most applications (e.g., TLS, cryptocur- how C and assembly can be composed and verified against rencies, or disk encryption), the provider is also on the critical shared specifications. We substantiate the effectiveness of these techniques with

Pennington Submitted to the System Design and Management Program on August 7, 2020 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in System Design and Management ABSTRACT A major method of acquiring the rights to technology is through the procurement of intellectual property (IP), which allow companies to both extend their technological advantage while denying it to others. Public databases such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) track this exchange of technology rights. Thus, IP can be used as a public measure of value accumulation in the form of technology rights.
