Experience with a Language for Writing Coherence Protocols

James Richard Larus

In this paper we describe our experience with Teapot [7], a domain-specific language for writing cache coherence protocols. Cache coherence is of concern when parallel and distributed computing systems make local replicas of shared data to improve scalabil ...

Shared-Memory Performance Profiling

James Richard Larus

This paper describes a new approach to finding performance bottlenecks in shared-memory parallel programs and its embodiment in the Paradyn Parallel Performance Tools running with the Blizzard fine-grain distributed shared memory system. This approach expl ...

Teapot: Language Support for Writing Memory Coherence Protocols

James Richard Larus

Recent shared-memory parallel computer systems offer the exciting possibility of customizing memory coherence protocols to fit an application's semantics and sharing patterns. Custom protocols have been used to achieve message-passing performance---while r ...

StormWatch: A Tool for Visualizing Memory System Protocols

James Richard Larus

Recent research has offered programmers increased options for programming parallel computers by exposing system policies (e.g., memory coherence protocols) or by providing several programming paradigms (e.g. message passing and shared memory) on the same p ...

Application-specific protocols for user-level shared memory

Babak Falsafi, James Richard Larus, David Wood

Recent distributed shared memory (DSM) systems and proposed shared-memory machines have implemented some or all of their cache coherence protocols in software. One way to exploit the flexibility of this software is to tailor a coherence protocol to match a ...

Cachier: A Tool for Automatically Inserting CICO Annotations

James Richard Larus

Shared memory in a parallel computer provides programmers with the valuable abstraction of a shared address space--through which any part of a computation can access any datum. Although uniform access simplifies programming, it also hides communication, wh ...

LCM: Memory System Support for Parallel Language Implementation

James Richard Larus

Higher-level parallel programming languages can be difficult to implement efficiently on parallel machines. This paper shows how a flexible, compiler-controlled memory system can help achieve good performance for language constructs that previously appeare ...

Cache Considerations for Programmers of Multiprocessors

James Richard Larus

Although caches in most computers are invisible to programmers, they significantly affect program performance. This is particularly true for cache-coherent, shared-memory multiprocessors. This article presents recent research into the performance of parall ...

Munin: Distributed Shared Memory Based on Type-Specific Memory Coherence

Willy Zwaenepoel

We are developing Munin y , a system that allows pro grams written for shared memory multiprocessors to be executed efficiently on distributed memory machines. Thus, Munin overcomes the architectural limitations of shared memory machines, while maintain ...
