Enhancing Software DSM for Compiler-Parallelized Applications
Current parallelizing compilers for message-passing machines only support a limited class of data-parallel applications. One method for eliminating this restriction is to combine ...

Multi-threading and Remote Latency in Software DSMs
This paper evaluates the use of per-node multi-threading to hide remote memory and synchronization latencies in a software DSM. As with hardware systems, multi-threading in softwa...

Data Prefetching for Software DSMs
In this paper we propose and evaluate the Adaptive++ technique, a novel runtime-only data prefetching strategy for software-based distributed shared-memory systems (software DSMs)...

Supporting Software Distributed Shared Memory with an Optimizing Compiler
To execute a shared memory program efficiently, we have to manage memory consistency with low overheads, and have to utilize communication bandwidth of the platform as much as pos...

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...

Cashmere-VLM: Remote Memory Paging for Software Distributed Shared Memory
Software distributed shared memory (DSM) systems have successfully provided the illusion of shared memory on distributed memory machines. However, most software DSM systems use th...
