This paper evaluates the tradeoffs involved in the design of the software-extended memory system of Alewife, a multiprocessor architecturethat implements coherentsharedmemorythrou...
High performance architectures have always had to deal with the performance-limiting impact of branch operations. Microprocessor designs are going to have to deal with this proble...
Various concurrency control algorithms di er in the time when con icts are detected, and in the way they are resolved. In that respect, the Pessimistic and Optimistic Concurrency ...
This paper studies completion in the case of equations with constraints consisting of rstorder formulae over equations, disequations, and an irreducibility predicate. We present s...
We examine the task of concurrently computing alternative solutions to a problem. We restrict our interest to the case where only one of the solutions is needed; in this case we n...
