To execute a shared memory program efficiently, we have to manage memory consistency with low overheads, and have to utilize communication bandwidth of the platform as much as pos...
On a distributed memory machine, hand-coded message passing leads to the most efficient execution, but it is difficult to use. Parallelizing compilers can approach the performance...
Symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) connected with low-latency networks provide attractive building blocks for software distributed shared memory systems. Two distinct approaches hav...
With the advent of multi-processor systems on a chip, the interest for message passing libraries has revived. Message passing helps in mastering the design complexity of parallel ...
Despite a large research effort, software distributed shared memory systems have not been widely used to run parallel applications across clusters of computers. The higher perform...
