Abstract--The now commonplace multi-core chips have introduced, by design, a deep hierarchy of memory and cache banks within parallel computers as a tradeoff between the user frien...
Predicting how well applications may run on modern systems is becoming increasingly challenging. It is no longer sufficient to look at number of floating point operations and commu...
Increasingly large-scale clusters of PC/WS continue to become majority platform in HPC field. Such a commodity cluster environment, there may be incremental upgrade due to severa...
Emerging heterogeneous multiprocessors will have custom memory and bus architectures that must balance resource sharing and system partitioning to meet cost constraints. We propos...
Software DSM systems su er from the high communication and coherence-induced overheads that limit performance. This paper introduces our e orts in reducing system overheads of a h...
