Only a handful of fundamental mechanisms for synchronizing the access of concurrent threads to shared memory are widely implemented and used. These include locks, condition variab...
Step caches are caches in which data entered to an cache array is kept valid only until the end of ongoing step of execution. Together with an advanced pipelined multithreaded arc...
Single System Image (SSI) Distributed Operating Systems have been the subject of increasing interest in recent years. This interest has been fueled primarily by the trend towards ...
Researchers have searched for scalable alternatives to the symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) architecture since it was first introduced in 1982. This paper introduces an alternative ...
