Closing the complexity gap between FCFS mutual exclusion and mutual exclusion
First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) mutual exclusion (ME) is the problem of ensuring that processes attempting to concurrently access a shared resource do so one by one, in a fair order...

A tight bound on remote reference time complexity of mutual exclusion in the read-modify-write model
In distributed shared memory multiprocessors, remote memory references generate processor-to-memory traffic, which may result in a bottleneck. It is therefore important to design ...

The complexity of verifying memory coherence
The general problem of verifying coherence for shared-memory multiprocessor executions is NP-Complete. Verifying memory consistency models is therefore NP-Hard, because memory con...

Experimental Evaluation of QSM, a Simple Shared-Memory Model
Parallel programming models should attempt to satisfy two conflicting goals. On one hand, they should hide architectural details so that algorithm designers can write simple, port...

Reducing I/O Complexity by Simulating Coarse Grained Parallel Algorithms
Block-wise access to data is a central theme in the design of efficient external memory (EM) algorithms. A second important issue, when more than one disk is present, is fully par...
