Efficiency of synchronization mechanisms can limit the parallel performance of many shared-memory applications. In addition, the ever increasing performance gap between processor...
Processor architectures with tens to hundreds of arithmetic units are emerging to handle media processing applications. These applications, such as image coding, image synthesis, ...

Parallel programs that modify shared data in a cachecoherent multiprocessor with a write-invalidate coherence protocol create ownership overhead in the form of ownership acquisiti...
Writing parallel applications for computational grids is a challenging task. To achieve good performance, algorithms designed for local area networks must be adapted to the differ...
