Multithreaded applications are notoriously difficult to design and build while avoiding defects. Many of Compaq's customers need to employ threads to implement high-performanc...
Deadlock is an increasingly pressing concern as the multicore revolution forces parallel programming upon the average programmer. Existing approaches to deadlock impose onerous bu...
Embedded system synthesis, multiprocessor synthesis, and thread assignment policy design all require detailed knowledge of the runtime communication patterns among different threa...
Understanding why the performance of a multithreaded program does not improve linearly with the number of cores in a sharedmemory node populated with one or more multicore process...
