The advent of multicores has introduced new challenges for programmers to provide increased performance and software reliability. There has been significant interest in technique...
Communication misses--those serviced by dirty data in remote caches--are a pressing performance limiter in shared-memory multiprocessors. Recent research has indicated that tempor...
Although they have been the main server technology for many years, multiprocessors are undergoing a renaissance due to multi-core chips and the attractive scalability properties of...
Conventional relaxed memory ordering techniques follow a proactive model: at a synchronization point, a processor makes its own updates to memory available to other processors by ...
