The run-time performance of VLIW (very long instruction word) microprocessors depends heavily on the effectiveness of its associated optimizing compiler. Typical VLIW compiler pha...
Software distributed shared memory (DSM) improves the programmability of message-passing machines and workclusters by providing a shared memory abstract (i.e., a coherent global a...
We are currently developing Willow, a shared-memory multiprocessor whose design provides system capacity and performance capable of supporting over a thousand commercial microproc...

Efficiently scheduling parallel tasks on to the processors of a shared-memory multiprocessor is critical to achieving high performance. Given perfect information at compile-time, ...
Motivated by experience gained during the validation of a recent Approximate Mean Value Analysis (AMVA) model of modern shared memory architectures, this paper re-examines the &qu...
