Distributed shared memory (DSM) systems have become popular as a means of utilizing clusters of computers for solving large applications. We have developed a high-performance DSM,...
We comparethe performance of software-supported shared memory on a general-purpose network to hardware-supported shared memory on a dedicated interconnect. Up to eight processors,...

Transactional memory (TM) is a scalable and concurrent way to build atomic sections. One aspect of TM that remains unclear is how side-effecting operations – that is, those whic...
The application of hardware-parameterized models to distributed systems can result in omission of key bottlenecks such as the full cost of inter-node communication in a shared mem...
