Continuous improvements in integration scale have made major microprocessor vendors to move to designs that integrate several processor cores on the same chip. Chip-multiprocessor...
This paper identifies node affinity as an important property for scalable general-purpose locks. Nonuniform communication architectures (NUCAs), for example CCNUMAs built from a f...
The era of parallel computing for the masses is here, but writing correct parallel programs remains far more difficult than writing sequential programs. Aside from a few domains,...
The widening gap between processor and memory performance is the main bottleneck for modern computer systems to achieve high processor utilization. In this paper, we propose a new...
