Fault tolerance is an important issue for large machines with tens or hundreds of thousands of processors. Checkpoint-based methods, currently used on most machines, rollback all ...
In both distributed counting and queuing, processors in a distributed system issue operations which are organized into a total order. In counting, each processor receives the rank...
In recent software transactional memory proposals, a contention manager module is responsible for ensuring that the system as a whole makes progress. A number of contention manage...
