A key challenge in achieving high performance on software DSM systems is overcoming their relatively large communication latencies. In this paper, we consider two techniques which...
Multithreaded parallel system with software Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) is an attractive direction in cluster computing. In these systems, distributing workloads and keeping t...
Recent technological advances have produced network interfaces that provide users with very low-latency access to the memory of remote machines. We examine the impact of such netw...

— The amount of memory in buffered crossbars in combined input-crosspoint buffered switches is proportional to the number of crosspoints, or O(N2 ), where N is the number of port...
The application of hardware-parameterized models to distributed systems can result in omission of key bottlenecks such as the full cost of inter-node communication in a shared mem...
