In shared memory programs contention often occurs at the transition between a sequential and a parallel section of the code. As all threads start executing the parallel section, they often access data just modified by the thread that executed the sequentia ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Software fine-grain distributed shared memory (FGDSM) provides a simplified shared-memory programming interface with minimal or no hardware support. Originally software FGDSMs targeted uniprocessor-node parallel machines. This paper presents Sirocco, a fam ...
We describe an implementation of a sizable subset of OpenMP on networks of workstations (NOWs). By extending the availability of OpenMP to NOWs, we overcome one of its primary drawbacks compared to MPI, namely lack of portability to environments other than ...
We describe a parallel implementation of a genetic linkage analysis program that achieves good speedups, even for analyses on a single pedigree and with a single starting recombination fraction vector. Our parallel implementation has been run on three diff ...
In this paper, we present the first system that implements OpenMP on a network of shared-memory multiprocessors. This system enables the programmer to rely on a single, standard, shared-memory API for parallelization within a multiprocessor and between mul ...
The article analyses the behavior of two kinds of multiprocessor multidisk storage server architectures for a data intensive application, namely for spatial queries in geographical information systems (GIS). The two kinds of servers are: (1) a workstation ...
This paper proposes a novel queue-based programming abstraction, Parallel Dispatch Queue (PDQ), that enables efficient parallel execution of fine-grain software communication protocols. Parallel systems often use fine-grain software handlers to integrate a ...
