We comparethe performance of software-supported shared memory on a general-purpose network to hardware-supported shared memory on a dedicated interconnect. Up to eight processors,...

I/O bottlenecks are already a problem in many largescale applications that manipulate huge datasets. This problem is expected to get worse as applications get larger, and the I/O ...

Software transactional memory (STM) is a promising technique for controlling concurrency in modern multi-processor architectures. STM aims to be more scalable than explicit coarse...
We describe an approach to building integrated performance support systems by using model-based task tracking to link performance support tools to video-based organizational memor...

The goal of this work is to explore architectural mechanisms for supporting explicit communication in cachecoherent shared memory multiprocessors. The motivation stems from the ob...
