Researchers have searched for scalable alternatives to the symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) architecture since it was first introduced in 1982. This paper introduces an alternative ...
In general-purpose microprocessors, recent trends have pushed towards 64-bit word widths, primarily to accommodate the large addressing needs of some programs. Many integer proble...
Much research has been done in fast communication on clusters and in protocols for supporting software shared memory across them. However, the end performance of applications that...
Symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) connected with low-latency networks provide attractive building blocks for software distributed shared memory systems. Two distinct approaches hav...
Previous simulators for shared-memory architectures have imposed a large tradeoff between simulation accuracy and speed. Most such simulators model simple processors that do not e...
