Brief announcement: locality-aware load balancing for speculatively-parallelized irregular applications
Load balancing is an important consideration when running data-parallel programs. While traditional techniques trade off the cost of load imbalance with the overhead of mitigating...

A Fault-Tolerant Reservation-Based Strategy for Scheduling Aperiodic Tasks in Multiprocessor Systems
Periodic and aperiodic tasks co-exist in many realtime systems. The periodic tasks typically arise from sensor data or control loops, while the aperiodic tasks generally arise fro...

On the Impossibility of Implementing Perpetual Failure Detectors in Partially Synchronous Systems
In this paper we study the implementability of different classes of failure detectors in several models of partial synchrony. We show that no failure detector with perpetual accur...

A Parametrized Algorithm that Implements Sequential, Causal, and Cache Memory Consistency
In this paper we present an algorithm that can be used to implement sequential, causal, or cache consistency in distributed shared memory (DSM) systems. For this purpose it has a ...
