The behavior of Distributed Shared Memory Systems is dictated by the Memory Consistency Model. Several Memory Consistency Models have been proposed in the literature and they fit ...
This paper presents a detailed comparison of the relative importance of allowing concurrent writers versus the choice of the underlying consistency model. Our comparison is based ...
Memory models define an interface between programs written in some language and their implementation, determining which behaviour the memory (and thus a program) is allowed to hav...
The lazy caching algorithm of Afek, Brown, and Merrit (1993) is a protocol that allows the use of local caches with delayed updates. It results in a memory model that is not atomi...
There has been dramatic progress in the scope and power of plasma simulations in recent years; and because codes are generally cheaper to write, to run and to diagnose than experi...
