This paper compares and evaluates the multicast performance of two of the most widely deployed System-Area Networks (SANs), Dolphin’s Scalable Coherent Interface (SCI) and Myric...
Reliable multicast delivery requires that a multicast message be received by all members in a group. Hence certain or all members need to buffer messages for possible retransmissi...
Local area networks have long been established as the basis for distributed systems. Continuity of service and bounded and known message delivery latency are requirements of a num...
The architecture for a shared memory CPU is described. The CPU allows for parallelism down to the level of single instructions and is tolerant of memory latency. All executable in...
Caches enhance the performance of multiprocessors by reducing network trac and average memory access latency. However, cache-based systems must address the problem of cache coher...
