Low-latency remote-write networks, such as DEC’s Memory Channel, provide the possibility of transparent, inexpensive, large-scale shared-memory parallel computing on clusters of...

Demand for programming environments to exploit clusters of symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) is increasing. In this paper, we present a new programming environment, called ParADE, ...
Researchers have recently proposed coupling small- to mediumscale multiprocessors to build large-scale shared memory machines, known as multigrain shared memory systems. Multigrai...
Shared memory multiprocessor systems typically provide a set of hardware primitives in order to support synchronization. Generally, they provide single-word read-modify-write hard...
This paper describes the synchronization and communication primitives of the Cray T3E multiprocessor, a shared memory system scalable to 2048 processors. We discuss what we have l...
