Generalized speedup is dened as parallel speed over sequential speed. In this paper the generalized speedup and its relation with other existing performance metrics, such as trad...
We assert that in order to perform well, a shared-memory multiprocessorinter-process communication (IPC)facility mustavoid a) accessing any shared data, and b) acquiring any locks...
This paper describes PRISM, a distributed sharedmemory architecture that relies on a tightly integrated hardware and operating system design for scalable and reliable performance....
In this paper we describe the design, implementation and experimental evaluation of a technique for operating system schedulers called processor pool-based scheduling [51]. Our tec...
This paper discusses some of the issues involved in implementing a shared-address space programming model on large-scale, distributed-memory multiprocessors. While such a programm...
