In prior work, we have proposed techniques to extend the ease of shared-memory parallel programming to distributed-memory platforms by automatic translation of OpenMP programs to ...
With the advent of chip-multiprocessors, we are faced with the challenge of parallelizing performance-critical software. Transactional memory (TM) has emerged as a promising progr...

Clusters of SMPs are becoming increasingly common. However, the shared memory design of SMPs and the consequential contention between system processors for access to main memory c...
Realtime ray tracing has recently established itself as a possible alternative to the current rasterization approach for interactive 3D graphics. However, the performance of exist...
