OpenMP is widely used for shared memory parallel programming and is especially useful for the parallelisation of loops. When it comes to task parallelism, however, OpenMP is less p...

Symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) connected with low-latency networks provide attractive building blocks for software distributed shared memory systems. Two distinct approaches hav...
In this paper, we quantify the adverse effect of file sharing on the performance of reliable distributed applications. We demonstrate that file sharing incurs significant overhead...
Despite a burgeoning demand for parallel programs, the tools available to developers working on shared-memory multicore processors have lagged behind. One reason for this is the l...
