Traditional DMA requires the operating system to perform many tasks to initiate a transfer, with overhead on the order of hundreds or thousands of CPU instructions. This paper des...

Fault tolerant algorithms are often designed under the t-out-of-n assumption, which is based on the assumption that all processes or components fail independently with equal proba...
In this paper we propose the use of an optical network not only as the communication medium, but also as a system-wide cache for the shared data in a multiprocessor. More specifica...
The SGI Origin 2000 is designedto support a wide range of applications and has low local and remote memory latencies. However, it often has a high ratio of remote to local misses....
The large latency of memory accesses is a major obstacle in obtaining high processor utilization in large scale shared-memory multiprocessors. Access to remote memory is likely to ...
