ÐIn this paper, we study distributed path reservation protocols for multiplexed all-optical interconnection networks. The path reservation protocols negotiate the reservation and ...
This paper represents a design study of the datapath for a very long instruction word (VLIW) video signal processor (VSP). VLIW architectures provide high parallelism and excellen...

Fast Ethernet and ATM are two attractive network technologies for interconnecting workstation clusters for parallel and distributed computing. This paper compares network interfac...
Many parallel systems offer a simple view of memory: all storage cells are addresseduniformly. Despite a uniform view of the memory, the machines differsignificantly in theirmemo...
Processors with write-through caches typically require a write buffer to hide the write latency to the next level of memory hierarchy and to reduce write traffic. A write buffer ...
This paper compares the performance of hierarchical ring- and mesh-connected wormhole routed shared memory multiprocessor networks in a simulation study. Hierarchical rings are in...
In this paper we explore software-managed address translation. The purpose of the study is to specify the memory management design for a high clock-rate PowerPC implementation in ...
