Level one cache normally resides on a processor’s critical path, which determines the clock frequency. Directmapped caches exhibit fast access time but poor hit rates compared w...
The use of multi-core, multi-processor machines is opening new opportunities for software speculation, where program code is speculatively executed to improve performance at the a...
Traditional software distributed shared memory (SDSM) systems modify the semantics of a real hardware shared memory system by relaxing the coherence semantic and by limiting the m...
Abstract. Clusters have become the de facto platform to scale J2EE application servers. Each tier of the server uses group communication to maintain consistency between replicated ...
Multiprocessor application performance can be limited by the operating system when the application uses the operating system frequently and the operating system services use data ...
