Analyzing lock contention in multithreaded applications
Many programs exploit shared-memory parallelism using multithreading. Threaded codes typically use locks to coordinate access to shared data. In many cases, contention for locks r...

Helper locks for fork-join parallel programming
Helper locks allow programs with large parallel critical sections, called parallel regions, to execute more efficiently by enlisting processors that might otherwise be waiting on ...

Thread to strand binding of parallel network applications in massive multi-threaded systems
In processors with several levels of hardware resource sharing, like CMPs in which each core is an SMT, the scheduling process becomes more complex than in processors with a singl...

Structure-driven optimizations for amorphous data-parallel programs
Irregular algorithms are organized around pointer-based data structures such as graphs and trees, and they are ubiquitous in applications. Recent work by the Galois project has pr...
