Abstract. This paper presents Combine, a distributed directory protocol for shared objects, designed for large-scale distributed systems. Directory protocols support move requests,...
Recently-proposed architectures that continuously operate on atomic blocks of instructions (also called chunks) can boost the programmability and performance of shared-memory mult...
—The number of CPUs in chip multiprocessors is growing at the Moore’s Law rate, due to continued technology advances. However, new technologies pose serious reliability challen...
