Demand for programming environments to exploit clusters of symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) is increasing. In this paper, we present a new programming environment, called ParADE, ...
—Multithreaded servers with cache-coherent shared memory are the dominant type of machines used to run critical network services and database management systems. To achieve the h...
The behavior of Distributed Shared Memory Systems is dictated by the Memory Consistency Model. Several Memory Consistency Models have been proposed in the literature and they fit ...
This paper presents a detailed comparison of the relative importance of allowing concurrent writers versus the choice of the underlying consistency model. Our comparison is based ...
While Sequential Consistency (SC) is the most intuitive memory consistency model and the one most programmers likely assume, current multiprocessors do not support it. Instead, th...
