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...

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 ...
Power consumption is an important issue for cluster supercomputers as it directly affects running cost and cooling requirements. This paper investigates the memory energy efficienc...
The multicore revolution is underway, bringing new chips introducing more complex memory architectures. Classical algorithms must be revisited in order to take the hierarchical me...
Today's transactional memory systems implement the two-phase-locking (2PL) algorithm which aborts transactions every time a conflict happens. 2PL is a simple algorithm that pr...
