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 ...
Modern software applications are growing in complexity and demand very intensive use of data. Therefore, a wide variety of data structures are utilized to facilitate the storage and access to these vast amounts of computed information. Additionally, the ne ...
Recent research indicates that prediction-based coherence optimizations offer substantial performance improvements for scientific applications in distributed shared memory multiprocessors. Important commercial applications also show sensitivity to coherenc ...
Store misses cause significant delays in shared-memory multiprocessors because of limited store buffering and ordering constraints required for proper synchronization. Today, programmers must choose from a spectrum of memory consistency models that reduce ...
Concerns over rising soft-error rates in processor logic has led to numerous proposals for error tolerance mechanisms. In this paper, we examine the role of soft-error containment in a shared memory multiprocessor. We study a range of design alternatives b ...
This paper presents a simple framework unifying a family of consensus algorithms that can tolerate process crash failures and asynchronous periods of the network, also called indulgent consensus algorithms. Key to the framework is a new abstraction we intr ...
Causeway provides runtime support for the development of distributed meta-applications. These meta-applications control or analyze the behavior of multi-tier distributed applications such as multi-tier web sites or web services. Examples of meta-applicatio ...
The vast majority of papers on distributed computing assume that processes are assigned unique identifiers before computation begins. But is this assumption necessary? What if processes do not have unique identifiers or do not wish to divulge them for reas ...
Coherence misses in shared-memory multiprocessors account for a substantial fraction of execution time in many important scientific and commercial workloads. Memory streaming provides a promising solution to the coherence miss bottleneck because it improve ...
Abstract. The vast majority of papers on distributed computing assume that processes are assigned unique identifiers before computation begins. But is this assumption necessary? What if processes do not have unique identifiers or do not wish to divulge the ...
