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...
Telecommunication networks process verylarge numbers of events in real time. In this environment, database applications demand both high throughput (at reasonable costs), and pred...

Improvements in main memory speeds have not kept pace with increasing processor clock frequency and improved exploitation of instruction-level parallelism. Consequently, the gap b...
This paper describes the design and implementation of IRIS Performer, a toolkit for visual simulation, virtual reality, and other real-time 3D graphics applications. The principal...
