Multiprocessors are now commonplace, and cloud computing is swiftly following suit. While it is possible to write high performance code for these systems, concurrency bugs are ext...
This paper presents the design and evaluation of a multithreaded runtime library for parallel I/O. We extend the multi-threading concept to separate the compute and I/O tasks in t...

A large number of user requests execute (often concurrently) within a server system. A single request may exhibit fluctuating hardware characteristics (such as instruction comple...
The trend in microprocessor design toward multicore and manycore processors means that future performance gains in software will largely come from harnessing parallelism. To reali...
