Abstract: A variety of models for parallel architectures such as shared memory, message passing, and dataflow, have converged in the recent past to a hybrid architecture form called distributed shared memory (DSM). By using a combination of hardware and software mechanisms, DSM combines the nice features of all the above models and is able to achieve both the scalability of message passing machines and the programmability of shared memory systems. Alewife, an early prototype of such DSM architectures,... (Update)

...language abstractions, compiler technology, and runtime techniques have yet to be discovered. The emergence of machines, such as Alewife[1], FLASH[14] SHRIMP[15] and Tempest Typhoon[18] that support the use of both shared memory and message passing in an application, further...

.... support for accessing data from nonlocal memory (or moving pages into local memory) can provide a reduction in the effective latency [25, 14, 1]. 3. Node Contention. A node can receive only one message (or a limited number of messages) at a time. 4. Link Contention. If two...
