We present a family of methods for speeding up distributed locks by exploiting the uneven distribution of both temporal and spatial locality of access behaviour of many applicatio...
—Current leadership-class machines suffer from a significant imbalance between their computational power and their I/O bandwidth. While Moore’s law ensures that the computatio...
