When integrating software threads together to boost performance on a processor with instruction-level parallel processing support, it is rarely clear which code regions should be ...
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...
—When parallel programs are executed on multiprocessors with private caches, a set of data may be repeatedly used and modified by different threads. Such data sharing can often r...
Modern computers have taken advantage of the instruction-level parallelism (ILP) available in programs with advances in both architecture and compiler design. Unfortunately, large...
A pass-through server such as an NFS server backed by an iSCSI[1] storage server only passes data between the storage server and NFS clients. Ideally it should require at most one...
