- Among all software cache coherence strategaes, the ones that are based on the concept of tamestamps show the greatest potentaal an terms of cache performance. The early tamestamp...
Improvements in semiconductor technology have made it possible to include multiple processor cores on a single die. Chip Multi-Processors (CMP) are an attractive choice for future...
Release consistency is a widely accepted memory model for distributed shared memory systems. Eager release consistency represents the state of the art in release consistent protoc...

Hardware support for dynamic analysis can minimize the performance overhead of useful applications such as security checks, debugging, and profiling. To eliminate implementation ...
As we move to large manycores, the hardware-based global checkpointing schemes that have been proposed for small shared-memory machines do not scale. Scalability barriers include ...
