Abstract. This paper describes a mechanism for “fusing” concurrent invocations of exclusive methods. The target of our work is object-oriented languages with concurrent extensi...
Efficiency of synchronization mechanisms can limit the parallel performance of many shared-memory applications. In addition, the ever increasing performance gap between processor...
Memorylatency isbecominganincreasingly importantperformance bottleneck, especially in multiprocessors. One technique for tolerating memory latency is multithreading, whereby we sw...
Main memory accesses continue to be a significant bottleneck for applications whose working sets do not fit in second-level caches. With the trend of greater associativity in seco...
Several models of parallel disks are found in the literature. These models have been proposed to alleviate the I/O bottleneck arising in handling voluminous data. These models hav...
