....of their synchronisation power [7] Some evaluation studies have also been performed for speci c data structure implementations. Most of these performance evaluations were using micro benchmarks and were performed on small scale symmetric multiprocessors, as well as distributed memory machines [3, 8, 10, 11, 16] or simulators [10, 13] Micro benchmarks are useful since they enable easy isolation of performance issues, but the real goal of better synchronisation methods is to improve performance of real applications, which micro benchmarks may not represent well. A substantial number of realistic scalable ....

....of hardware and software features in order to support page migration and replication. The Origin has per page hardware memory reference counters which can be used to determine memory access patterns, and contains a block copy engine able to copy data at near peak memory speeds. Jiang and Singh [Jiang98] report on the effectiveness of dynamic page migration on a 32 processor SGI Origin 2000. They studied the performance of a successive overrelaxation (SOR) kernel similar to the GRB algorithm studied here, and were unable to see any performance improvements due to page migration capabilities, even ....
