Much research has been done in fast communication on clusters and in protocols for supporting software shared memory across them. However, the end performance of applications that...
This paper introduces Strings, a high performance distributed shared memory system designed for clusters of symmetrical multiprocessors (SMPs). The distinguishing feature of this ...
—We evaluate three extensions to directory-based cache coherence protocols in shared-memory multiprocessors. These extensions are aimed at reducing the penalties associated with ...
The Convex SPP-1000 is the first commercial implementation of a new generation of scalable shared memory parallel computers with full cache coherence. It employs a hierarchical s...
