Power consumption is a troublesome design constraint for emergent systems such as IBM’s BlueGene /L. If current trends continue, future petaflop systems will require 100 megawat...
High-end parallel systems present a tremendous research challenge on how to best allocate their resources to match dynamic workload characteristics and user habits that are often ...
The Cray X1 was recently introduced as the first in a new line of parallel systems to combine high-bandwidth vector processing with an MPP system architecture. Alongside capabili...

Time-oriented progress estimation for parallel queries is a challenging problem that has received only limited attention. In this paper, we present ParaTimer, a new type of timere...
In this paper, we describe an e cient software-only Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) consistency protocol for an unconventional but important application domain - object transactio...
