Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLBs) are a staple in modern computer systems and have a significant impact on overall system performance. Numerous prior studies have addressed TL...
This paper presents an extensive characterization, tuning, and optimization of parallel I/O on the Cray XT supercomputer, named Jaguar, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We have c...
The recent improvements in workstation and interconnection network performance have popularized the clusters of off-the-shelf workstations. However, the usefulness of these cluste...
Many parallel systems offer a simple view of memory: all storage cells are addresseduniformly. Despite a uniform view of the memory, the machines differsignificantly in theirmemo...
In this paper we present simulation algorithmsthat characterize the main sources of communication generated by parallel applications under both invalidate and updatebased cache co...
