We systematically evaluate the performance of five implementations of a single, user-level communication interface. Each implementation makes different architectural assumptions ...
Abstract. The successful deploymentof next-generation distributedsystems is signi cantly dependent on the e cient management support that improves the performance and reliability o...
We introduce a shared memory software prototype system for executing programs with nested parallelism on a network of workstations. This programming model exhibits a very convenie...
