Linearizability is a key design methodology for reasoning about implementations of concurrent abstract data types in both shared memory and message passing systems. It provides the illusion that operations execute sequentially and fault-free, despite the a ...
The main aim of this thesis is to examine the advantages of 3D stacking applied to microprocessors and related integrated microprocessor systems in the architectural level. In the succession of years microprocessors are aiming towards lower power consumpti ...
Prior research indicates that there is much spatial variation in applications' memory access patterns. Modern memory systems, however, use small fixed-size cache blocks and as such cannot exploit the variation. Increasing the block size would not only proh ...
In this paper we compare two approaches to the design of protocol frameworks -- tools for implementing modular network protocols. The most common approach uses events as the main abstraction for a local interaction between protocol modules. We argue that a ...
Coherent read misses in shared-memory multiprocessors account for a substantial fraction of execution time in many important scientific and commercial workloads. We propose Temporal Streaming, to eliminate coherent read misses by streaming data to a proces ...
Distributed-memory parallel computers and networks of workstations (NOWs) both rely on efficient communication over increasingly high-speed networks. Software communication protocols are often the performance bottleneck. Several current and proposed parall ...
This paper presents Combine, a distributed directory protocol for shared objects, designed for large-scale distributed systems. Directory protocols support move requests, allowing to write the object locally, as well as lookup requests, providing a read-on ...
It is noticeable that our society is increasingly relying on computer systems. Nowadays, computer networks can be found at places where it would have been unthinkable a few decades ago, supporting in some cases critical applications on which human lives ma ...

This paper presents COMBINE, a directory-based consistency protocol for shared objects, designed for large-scale distributed systems with unreliable links. Directory-based consistency protocols support move requests, allowing to write the object locally, a ...
