An Integrated Compile-Time/Run-Time Software Distributed Shared Memory System
On a distributed memory machine, hand-coded message passing leads to the most efficient execution, but it is difficult to use. Parallelizing compilers can approach the performance...

Proactive Leader Election in Asynchronous Shared Memory Systems
Abstract. In this paper, we give an algorithm for fault-tolerant proactive leader election in asynchronous shared memory systems, and later its formal verification. Roughly speakin...
