This paper describes PRISM, a distributed sharedmemory architecture that relies on a tightly integrated hardware and operating system design for scalable and reliable performance....
The frequency of accesses to remote data is a key factor affecting the performance of all Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems. Remote data caching is one of the most effective...
Use of anycast service can considerably simplify many communication applications. Two approaches can be used for routing anycast packets. Single-path routing always uses the same ...
Hybrid branch predictors combine the predictions of multiple single-level or two-level branch predictors. The prediction-combining hardware -- the "meta-predictor" -may ...

The problem of scheduling a weighted directed acyclic graph (DAG) to a set of homogeneous processors to minimize the completion time has been extensively studied. The NPcompletene...
