Abstract--This paper proposes an analytical model to estimate the cost of running an affinity-based thread schedule on multicore systems. The model consists of three submodels to e...
Applications that query into very large multidimensional datasets are becoming more common. Many self-describing scientific data file formats have also emerged, which have structu...
Software barriers have been designed and evaluated for barrier synchronization in large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors, under the assumption that all processorsreach the sync...
