One of the mostsoughtaftersoftware innovation of thisdecade is the construction of systems using off-the-shelf workstations that actually deliver, and even surpass, the power and ...
Increased complexity of memory systems to ameliorate the gap between the speed of processors and memory has made it increasingly harder for compilers to optimize an arbitrary code...
Over the last decade, Message Passing Interface (MPI) has become a very successful parallel programming environment for distributed memory architectures such as clusters. However, ...
The general problem of verifying coherence for shared-memory multiprocessor executions is NP-Complete. Verifying memory consistency models is therefore NP-Hard, because memory con...
Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) are now commonplace, and the number of cores on a CMP is likely to grow steadily. However, in order to harness the additional compute resources of a CM...
