  4. 22. Non-blocking Synchronization: Algorithms and Performance Evaluation

    Author : Yi Zhang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The thesis investigates non-blocking synchronization in shared memory systems, in particular in high performance shared memory multiprocessors and real-time shared memory systems. We explore the performance impact of non-blocking synchronization in high performance shared memory multiprocessors and the applicability of non-blocking synchronization in real-time systems.

  5. 23. Methods for Creating and Exploiting Data Locality

    Author : Dan Wallin; Erik Hagersten; Sverker Holmgren; David Wood; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; data locality; temporal locality; spatial locality; prefetching; cache; cache behavior; cache coherence; snooping protocols; partial differential equation; shared-memory multiprocessor; chip multiprocessor; simulation; Computer engineering; Datorteknik;

    Abstract : The gap between processor speed and memory latency has led to the use of caches in the memory systems of modern computers. Programs must use the caches efficiently and exploit data locality for maximum performance. READ MORE

  6. 24. Tools, Techniques, and Trade-offs when Porting Large Software Systems to New Environments

    Author : Simon Kågström; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Operating systems; Binary Translation;

    Abstract : Computer hardware and software evolve very fast. With the advent of chip-multiprocessors and symmetric multithreading, multiprocessor hardware configurations are becoming prevalent. READ MORE

  7. 25. 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
