Selective, accurate, and timely self-invalidation using last-touch prediction
Communication in cache-coherent distributed shared memory (DSM) often requires invalidating (or writing back) cached copies of a memory block, incurring high overheads. This paper...

Speculative prefetching of optional locks in distributed systems
We present a family of methods for speeding up distributed locks by exploiting the uneven distribution of both temporal and spatial locality of access behaviour of many applicatio...
