Chant: Lightweight Threads in a Distributed Memory Environment - Haines, Mehrotra, Cronk (1995) (4 citations) (Correct)
.... the IEEE committee for Portable Operating System Interfaces for Computer Environments (POSIX) has adopted a standard interface for lightweight threads within a Unix process [25] and numerous thread libraries have been designed and implemented for workstations and shared memory multiprocessors [1, 6, 17, 27, 33, 42]. Despite their popularity and utility in shared memory systems, lightweight thread packages designed for distributed memory systems have received little attention. This is unfortunate: in a distributed memory Research supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under NASA ....

.... for coroutines, Ada tasks, and C method invocations) and they are used in runtime systems for interoperability [4, 9, 27] In light of their increasing use, many independent lightweight thread libraries have been designed and implemented for workstations and shared memory multiprocessors [1, 3, 19, 20, 24]. In addition, the Portable Operating System Interfaces (POSIX) committee has adopted a standard interface (1003.4a) for lightweight threads called pthreads [15] Despite their popularity in shared memory environments, lightweight thread packages for distributed memory systems have received little ....
....communication among the threads. However, direct point to point communication primitives are not supported. There are many generic lightweight thread packages for uniprocessor or shared memory multiprocessor systems, including cthreads [20] Presto [3] the Sun lightweight process library (LWP) [24], Fastthreads [1] and a public domain library implementation of pthreads [19] None of these packages, however, directly address the issue of communication between threads in different address spaces. 6 Conclusions Threads are an emerging model for supporting parallelism and asynchronous events ....

.... SDA Runtime Interface Distributed Data Structure Support Method Invocation Support Figure 5: Runtime layers for SDA support standard for a lightweight threads interface [18] and many lightweight thread libraries have been designed and implemented for workstations and shared memory multiprocessors [1, 3, 9, 19, 23, 30]. Lightweight threads offer significant advantages over heavyweight processes, including full control over thread scheduling, shared addressing spaces among threads within the same process, very fast context switching, and the ability to execute on systems that do not provide multiprocess support. ....

Despite their popularity in shared memory systems, lightweight thread packages for distributed memory systems have received little attention. This is unfortunate: in a distributed memory system, lightweight threads can overlap communication with computation (latency tolerance) 8, 12] they can ....
