This paper evaluates performance characteristics of the Compaq ES40 shared memory multiprocessor. The ES40 system contains up to four Alpha 21264 CPU’s together with a high-perf...
—In this paper, we introduce a runtime, nontrace-based algorithm to compute the critical path profile of the execution of message passing and shared-memory parallel programs. Our...
The memory consistency model supported by a multiprocessor architecture determines the amount of buffering and pipelining that may be used to hide or reduce the latency of memory ...
