A Mechanism for Speculative Memory Accesses Following Synchronizing Operations
In order to reduce the overhead of synchronizing operations of shared memory multiprocessors, this paper proposes a mechanism, named specMEM, to execute memory accesses following ...

Operating System I/O Speculation: How Two Invocations Are Faster Than One
We present an in-kernel disk prefetcher which uses speculative execution to determine what data an application is likely to require in the near future. By placing our design withi...

Checkpointing Speculative Distributed Shared Memory
This paper describes a checkpointing mechanism destined for Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems with speculative prefetching. Speculation is a general technique involving predi...

Conditional Memory Ordering
Conventional relaxed memory ordering techniques follow a proactive model: at a synchronization point, a processor makes its own updates to memory available to other processors by ...

Using Speculative Push for Unnecessary Checkpoint Creation Avoidance
Abstract. This paper discusses a way of incorporating speculation techniques into Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems with checkpointing mechanism without creating unnecessary ...
