Thread-level speculation (TLS) allows potentially dependent threads to speculatively execute in parallel, thus making it easier for the compiler to extract parallel threads. Howeve...
As computing breaches petascale limits both in processor performance and storage capacity, the only way that current and future gains in performance can be achieved is by increasi...
Parallel NFS (pNFS) is an emergent open standard for parallelizing data transfer over a variety of I/O protocols. Prototypes of pNFS are actively being developed by industry and a...
—Parallel file systems are very sensitive to adverse conditions, and the lack of synergy between such file systems and some of the applications running on them has a negative i...
Although platform-independent runtime systems for parallel programming languages are desirable, the need for low-level optimizations usually precludes their existence. This is bec...
