Database partitioning is a technique for improving the performance of distributed OLTP databases, since “single partition” transactions that access data on one partition do no...
Irregular applications, which rely on pointer-based data structures, are often difficult to parallelize. The inputdependent nature of their execution means that traditional paral...
Most shared memory systems maximize performance by unpredictably resolving memory races. Unpredictable memory races can lead to nondeterminism in parallel programs, which can suff...

Memory-intensive threads can hoard shared resources without making progress on a multithreading processor (SMT), thereby hindering the overall system performance. A recent promisi...
Current integration trends embrace the prosperity of single-chip multi-core processors. Although multi-core processors deliver significantly improved system throughput, single-thr...
