Abstract-- This paper describes the design and implementation1 of IRIS: an intentional resource indicator service. IRIS springs from the concept that end-users should not be bogged...
This paper suggests that a distributed system should support two communication paradigms: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and group commumcation. The former is used for point-to-point...

This paper discusses a reliable group communication system using active messages to update shared objects. We discuss the model, implementation techniques, and our preliminary per...
Abstract. As the disparity between processor and memory speed continues to widen, the exploitation of locality of reference in shared-memory multiprocessors becomes an increasingly...
Determining time necessary for computing important functions on parallel machines is one of the most important problems in complexity theory for parallel algorithms. Recently, a s...
This paper addresses a purely software-based solution to the multiprocessor cache coherence problem by structuring an operating system to provide for the coherence of its own data...
The current generation of le systems are inadequate in facing the new technological challenges of wide area networks and massive storage. xFS is a prototype le system we are devel...
