The Thrifty Barrier: Energy-Aware Synchronization in Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
Much research has been devoted to making microprocessors energy-efficient. However, little attention has been paid to multiprocessor environments where, due to the co-operative na...

Rebound: scalable checkpointing for coherent shared memory
As we move to large manycores, the hardware-based global checkpointing schemes that have been proposed for small shared-memory machines do not scale. Scalability barriers include ...

Scalability Evaluation of Barrier Algorithms for OpenMP
OpenMP relies heavily on barrier synchronization to coordinate the work of threads that are performing the computations in a parallel region. A good implementation of barriers is ...

Synchronization and Communication in the T3E Multiprocessor
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...
