Efficient Runtime Thread Management for the Nano-Threads Programming Model
Abstract. The nano-threads programming model was proposed to effectively integrate multiprogramming on shared-memory multiprocessors, with the exploitation of fine-grain parallelis...

Active Messages: A Mechanism for Integrated Communication and Computation
The design challenge for large-scale multiprocessors is (1) to minimize communication overhead, (2) allow communication to overlap computation, and (3) coordinate the two without ...
