The message-passing paradigm is now widely accepted and used mainly for inter-process communication in distributed memory parallel systems. However, one of its disadvantages is the...
Speculator provides Linux kernel support for speculative execution. It allows multiple processes to share speculative state by tracking causal dependencies propagated through inte...
The early 1980s saw the development of some rather sophisticated distributed systems. These were not merely networked file systems: rather, using remote procedure calls, hierarchi...
Students learn more through hands-on project experience for computer science courses such as operating systems, but providing the infrastructure support for a large class to learn...
This paper describes PRISM, a distributed sharedmemory architecture that relies on a tightly integrated hardware and operating system design for scalable and reliable performance....
