A survey of design techniques for system-level dynamic power management

Giovanni De Micheli, Luca Benini

Dynamic power management (DPM) is a design methodology for dynamically reconfiguring systems to provide the requested services and performance levels with a minimum number of active components or a minimum load on such components. DPM encompasses a set of ...

Combining Compile-Time and Run-Time Support for Efficient Distributed Shared Memory

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sandhya Dwarkadas

We describe an integrated compile-time and run-time system for efficient shared memory parallel computing on distributed memory machines. The combined system presents the user with a shared memory programming model, with its well-known benefits in terms of ...

Quantifying the Performance Differences Between PVM and TreadMarks

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sandhya Dwarkadas

We compare two systems for parallel programming on networks of workstations: Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) a message passing system, and TreadMarks, a software distributed shared memory (DSM) system. We present results for eight applications that were imp ...

Optimizing Communication in HPF programs for Fine-Grain Distributed Shared Memory

James Richard Larus

Unlike compiler-generated message-passing code, the coherence mechanisms in shared-memory systems work equally well for regular and irregular programs. In many programs, however compile-time information about data accesses would permit data to be transferr ...

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 ...

The Tempest Approach to Distributed Shared Memory

James Richard Larus, David Wood

This paper summarizes how distributed shared memory (DSM) can be both efficiently and portably supported by the Tempest interface. Tempest is a collection of mechanisms for communication and synchronization in parallel programs. These mechanisms provide co ...

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 ...

Message Passing Versus Distributed Shared Memory on Networks of Workstations

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sandhya Dwarkadas

The message passing programs are executed with the Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) library and the shared memory programs are executed using TreadMarks. The programs are Water and Barnes-Hut from the SPLASH benchmark suite; 3-D FFT, Integer Sort (IS) and Em ...

Tempest: A Substrate for Portable Parallel Programs

James Richard Larus, David Wood

The paper describes Tempest, a collection of mechanisms for communication and synchronization in parallel programs. With these mechanisms, authors of compilers, libraries, and application programs can exploit-across a wide range of hardware platforms-the b ...

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 ...
