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

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 ...

Abstract. This paper discusses a way of incorporating speculation techniques into Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems with checkpointing mechanism without creating unnecessary ...
