Many parallel systems offer a simple view of memory: all storage cells are addresseduniformly. Despite a uniform view of the memory, the machines differsignificantly in theirmemo...
The extremely low latencies and high bandwidth results achievable with the Scalable Coherent Interface SCI at lowest level encourages its integration into existing Message Passin...
We study Reader-Writer Exclusion [1], a well-known variant of the Mutual Exclusion problem [2] where processes are divided into two classes–readers and writers–and multiple re...
This paper presents our experience developing applications in Jade, a portable, implicitly parallel programming language designed for exploiting task-level concurrency. Jade progr...
Abstract. Shared counters are the key to solving a variety of coordination problems on multiprocessor machines, such as barrier synchronization and index distribution. It is desire...
