The application of hardware-parameterized models to distributed systems can result in omission of key bottlenecks such as the full cost of inter-node communication in a shared mem...
This paper describes our early experiences with a preproduction Cray XMT system that implements a scalable shared memory architecture with hardware support for multithreading. Unl...
