Comparative Evaluation of Latency Tolerance Techniques for Software Distributed Shared Memory
A key challenge in achieving high performance on software DSM systems is overcoming their relatively large communication latencies. In this paper, we consider two techniques which...

Efficiently Adapting to Sharing Patterns in Software DSMs
In this paper we introduce a page-based Lazy Release Consistency protocol called ADSM that constantly and efficiently adapts to the applications' sharing patterns. Adaptation...

Hardware for Speculative Run-Time Parallelization in Distributed Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
Run-time parallelization is often the only way to execute the code in parallel when data dependence information is incomplete at compile time. This situation is common in many imp...

Virtual-Physical Registers
A novel dynamic register renaming approach is proposed in this work. The key idea of the novel scheme is to delay the allocation of physical registers until a late stage in the pi...

The Potential for Using Thread-Level Data Speculation to Facilitate Automatic Parallelization
As we look to the future, and the prospect of a billion transistors on a chip, it seems inevitable that microprocessors will exploit having multiple parallel threads. To achieve t...
