High Performance Software Architectures:
"... Scientists in multiple domains have begun conducting investigations using a new paradigm centered on computer simulation as means of experimentation and theory validation. Unfortunately, our ability to program simulations that are equal to the task of truly new science is handicapped by our lack of ..."

of support for high performance computing abstractions. In this position paper, we explore the potential role of software architectures as a means of encapsulating many of the services required for parallel programming into explicit first-class software connectors.
High-Performance Software Rasterization on GPUs
"... In this paper, we implement an efficient, completely software-based graphics pipeline on a GPU. Unlike previous approaches, we obey ordering constraints imposed by current graphics APIs, guarantee hole-free rasterization, and support multisample antialiasing. Our goal is to examine the performance i ..."

Optimizing High Performance Software Libraries
- In Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing
, 2000
"... This paper describes how the use of software libraries, which is prevalent in high performance computing, can benefit from compiler optimizations in much the same way that conventional computer languages do. We explain how the compilation of these informal languages differs from the compilation of ..."

Towards High Performance Software Teamwork
"... Context: Research indicates that software quality, to a large extent, depends on cooperation within software teams [1]. Since software development is a creative process that involves human interaction in the context of a team, it is important to understand the teamwork factors that influence perform ..."

performance. Objective: We present a study design in which we aim to examine the factors within software development teams that have significant influence on the performance of the team. We propose to consider factors such as communication, coordination of expertise, cohesion, trust, cooperation, and value
Prototype of the National High-Performance Software Exchange
- IEEE Computational Science & Engineering, Summer
, 1995
"... This report describes a short-term effort to construct a prototype for the National High-Performance Software Exchange (NHSE). The prototype demonstrates how the evolving National Information Infrastructure (NII) can be used to facilitate sharing of software and information among members of the High ..."

McRT-STM: a High Performance Software Transactional Memory System for a Multi-Core Runtime
- In Proc. of the 11th ACM Symp. on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming
, 2006
"... Applications need to become more concurrent to take advantage of the increased computational power provided by chip level multiprocessing. Programmers have traditionally managed this concurrency using locks (mutex based synchronization). Unfortunately, lock based synchronization often leads to deadl ..."

to deadlocks, makes fine-grained synchronization difficult, hinders composition of atomic primitives, and provides no support for error recovery. Transactions avoid many of these problems, and therefore, promise to ease concurrent programming. We describe a software transactional memory (STM) system

High performance software coherence for current and future architectures
- Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing
, 1995
"... Shared memory provides an attractive and intuitive pro-gramming model for large-scale parallel computing, but re-quires a coherence mechanism to allow caching for performance while ensuring that processors do not use stale data in their computation. Implementation options range from distributed shar ..."

of fully cache-coherent hard-ware, at a fraction of the cost. To support this claim we present a software coherence protocol that runs on this class of ma-chines, and use simulation to conduct a performance study. We look at both programming and architectural issues in the context of software and hardware
High-performance software protection using reconfigurable architectures
- IEEE
, 2006
"... One of the key problems facing the computer industry today is ensuring the integrity of end-user applications and data. Researchers in the relatively new field of software protection investigate the development and evaluation of controls that prevent the unauthorized modification or use of system so ..."

While many previously developed protection schemes have provided a strong level of security, their overall effectiveness has been hindered by a lack of transparency to the user in terms of performance overhead. Other approaches take to the opposite extreme and sacrifice security for the sake
A case study of open source software development: the Apache server
- In: Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2000

"... According to its proponents, open source style software development has the capacity to compete successfully, and perhaps in many cases displace, traditional commercial development methods. In order to begin investigating such claims, we examine the development process of a major open source applica ..."
