A key challenge in achieving high performance on software DSM systems is overcoming their relatively large communication latencies. In this paper, we consider two techniques which...
In this paper, we argue for the power of providing a common set of OS services to wide area applications, including mechanisms for resource discovery, a global namespace, remote p...

To execute a shared memory program efficiently, we have to manage memory consistency with low overheads, and have to utilize communication bandwidth of the platform as much as pos...
The fast evolution of processor performance necessitates a permanent evolution of all the multiprocessor components, even for small to medium-scale symmetric multiprocessors (SMP)...
