  2. 1. Software Techniques for Distributed Shared Memory

    Author : Zoran Radovic; Erik Hagersten; Sandhya Dwarkadas; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; synchronization; distributed shared memory; write permission cache; nonuniform communication architecture; node affinity; locality; hardware-software trade-off; profiling; flexibility; trap-based memory architecture; Computer engineering; Datorteknik; Data- och systemvetenskap; Computer Systems Sciences;

    Abstract : In large multiprocessors, the access to shared memory is often nonuniform, and may vary as much as ten times for some distributed shared-memory architectures (DSMs). This dissertation identifies another important nonuniform property of DSM systems: nonuniform communication architecture, NUCA. READ MORE

  4. 2. Towards Low-Complexity Scalable Shared-Memory Architectures

    Author : Håkan Zeffer; Erik Hagersten; John Carter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; shared memory; distributed shared memory; hardware-software trade-off; software coherence; coherence profiling; remote access cache; chip multiprocessor; simultaneous multi threading; simulation; workload characterization; statistical cache model; Computer engineering; Datorteknik;

    Abstract : Plentiful research has addressed low-complexity software-based shared-memory systems since the idea was first introduced more than two decades ago. However, software-coherent systems have not been very successful in the commercial marketplace. We believe there are two main reasons for this: lack of performance and/or lack of binary compatibility. READ MORE

  6. 4. Topics in Distributed Algorithms: On Wireless Networks, Distributed Storage and Streaming

    Author : Thomas Petig; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Message Passing; Wireless Networks; Time Division Multiple Access; Shared Memory; Fault-Tolerance; Streaming; NP-Hardness; Distributed Algorithm; Optimisation; TDMA;

    Abstract : Distributed algorithms are executed on a set of computational instances. Werefer to these instances as nodes. Nodes are runningconcurrently and are independent from each other. Furthermore, they have their own instructions and information. READ MORE

  7. 5. Iterative and Adaptive PDE Solvers for Shared Memory Architectures
