We assert that in order to perform well, a shared-memory multiprocessorinter-process communication (IPC)facility mustavoid a) accessing any shared data, and b) acquiring any locks...
—We evaluate three extensions to directory-based cache coherence protocols in shared-memory multiprocessors. These extensions are aimed at reducing the penalties associated with ...
Traditional directory-based cache coherence protocols suffer from long-latency cache misses as a consequence of the indirection introduced by the home node, which must be accessed...
Database applications such as online transaction processing (OLTP) and decision support systems (DSS) constitute the largest and fastest-growing segment of the market for multipro...
Distributed shared memory systems have become popular as a means of utilizing clusters of computers for solving large applications. We have developed a high-performance DSM at Way...
