Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) are now commodity hardware, but commoditization of parallel software remains elusive. In the near term, the current trend of increased coreper-socket c...
The rapid progress in high-performance microprocessor design has made it di cult to adapt real-time scheduling results to new models of microprocessor hardware, thus leaving an un...
Two broad classes of memory models are available today: models with hardware cache coherence, used in conventional chip multiprocessors, and models that rely upon software to mana...
