Abstract: A key challenge in achieving high performance on software DSMs is overcoming their relatively large communication latencies. In this paper, we consider two techniques which address this problem: prefetching and multithreading. While previous studies have examined each of these techniques in isolation, this paper is the first to evaluate both techniques using a consistent hardware platform and set of applications, thereby allowing direct comparisons. In addition, this is the first study to... (Update)

...execution times to some extent but it is not clear how much the protocol overhead limited further gains. More recently, Mowry et al. [32] studied compiler controlled prefetching in SVM systems. While prefetching helped cut the memory stall times, the protocol overhead was...
...delay. The first technique is multi threading. Multi threading has been used in many systems to mask communication costs [17, 20, 28]. The difference here is that notification delay may be many times larger than the base communication costs, and therefore multi...
