The performance of the barrier operation can be crucial for many parallel codes. Especially distributed shared memory systems have to synchronize frequently to ensure the proper o...

Abstract. A fundamental problem in the analysis of parallel programs is to determine when two statements in a program may run concurrently. This analysis is the parallel analog to ...
Synchronization is often necessary in parallel computing, but it can create delays whenever the receiving processor is idle, waiting for the information to arrive. This is especia...
The advent of multicores presents a promising opportunity for exploiting fine grained parallelism present in programs. Programs parallelized in the above fashion, typically involv...
Software barriers have been designed and evaluated for barrier synchronization in large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors, under the assumption that all processorsreach the sync...
