A Virtual Memory Model for Parallel Supercomputers
A model for virtual memory in a distributed memory parallel computer is proposed. It uses a novel parallel computing operating system framework and leads to the definition of two ...

Techniques for the Design of Java Operating Systems
Language-basedextensible systems, such as Java Virtual Machines and SPIN, use type safety to provide memory safety in a single address space. By using software to provide safety, ...

Calvin: Deterministic or not? Free will to choose
Most shared memory systems maximize performance by unpredictably resolving memory races. Unpredictable memory races can lead to nondeterminism in parallel programs, which can suff...

Multiprocessors Should Support Simple Memory-Consistency Models
provide tools or abstractions that allow developers to program in parallel. But what hardware do we need to support shared memory threads? The hardware should provide a well-defin...
