This paper addresses a purely software-based solution to the multiprocessor cache coherence problem by structuring an operating system to provide for the coherence of its own data...
Coherence misses in shared-memory multiprocessors account for a substantial fraction of execution time in many important scientific and commercial workloads. Memory streaming prov...

provide tools or abstractions that allow developers to program in parallel. But what hardware do we need to support shared memory threads? The hardware should provide a well-defin...
Symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) connected with low-latency networks provide attractive building blocks for software distributed shared memory systems. Two distinct approaches hav...
Most complexity measures for concurrent algorithms for asynchronous shared-memory architectures focus on process steps and memory consumption. In practice, however, performance of ...
