Parallel Distributed Algorithm Design through Specification Transformation: The Asynchronous Vision System

We present a constructive approach to the realization of a parallel system for the vision processing. This approach follows the classical software engineering principles: analysis, specification, design and implementation. The language CO-OPN (Concurrent O ...

Software vs. Hardware Shared Memory Implementation: A Case Study

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sandhya Dwarkadas

We compare the performance of software-supported shared memory on a general-purpose network to hardware-supported shared memory on a dedicated interconnect. Up to eight processors, our results are based on the execution of a set of application programs on ...

Fine-grain access control for distributed shared memory

Babak Falsafi, James Richard Larus, David Wood

The paper discusses implementations of fine-grain memory access control, which selectively restricts reads and writes to cache-block-sized memory regions. Fine-grain access control forms the basis of efficient cache- coherent shared memory. The paper focus ...

TreadMarks: Distributed Shared Memory on Standard Workstations and Operating Systems

Sandhya Dwarkadas

TreadMarks is a distributed shared memory (DSM) system for standard Unix systems such as SunOS and Ultrix. This paper presents a performance evaluation of TreadMarks running on Ultrix using DECstation-5000/240's that are connected by a 100-Mbps switch-base ...

Where is Time Spent in Message-Passing and Shared-Memory Programs?

James Richard Larus

Message passing and shared memory are two techniques parallel programs use for coordination and communication. This paper studies the strengths and weaknesses of these two mechanisms by comparing equivalent, well-written message-passing and shared-memory p ...

Cooperative Shared Memory: Software and Hardware for Scalable Multiprocessors

James Richard Larus, David Wood

We believe the paucity of massively parallel, shared-memory machines follows from the lack of a shared-memory programming performance model that can inform programmers of the cost of operations (so they can avoid expensive ones) and can tell hardware desig ...

Network Multicomputing Using Recoverable Distributed Shared Memory

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sandhya Dwarkadas

A network multicomputer is a multiprocessor in which the processors are connected by general-purpose networking technology, in contrast to current distributed memory multiprocessors where a dedicated special-purpose interconnect is used. The advent of high ...

Cooperative Shared Memory: Software and Hardware for Scalable Multiprocessors

James Richard Larus, David Wood

We believe the absence of massively-parallel, shared-memory machines follows from the lack of a shared-memory programming performance model that can inform programmers of the cost of operations (so they can avoid expensive ones) and can tell hardware desig ...

Multiple interfaces message passing system for transputer network

Roger Hersch

One of the most important factors that determine the performance of the parallel multiprocessor system is the establishment of an optimized communication system between the different tasks of an application running in distinct Processing Elements (PE) of a ...
