This paper examines the performance benefits of employing multicast communication and application-level multithreading in the Brazos software distributed shared memory (DSM) syste...
Commodity computer systems contain more and more processor cores and exhibit increasingly diverse architectural tradeoffs, including memory hierarchies, interconnects, instructio...
The performance of both serial and parallel implementations of matrix multiplication is highly sensitive to memory system behavior. False sharing and cache conflicts cause traditi...
