Memory Coherence in Shared Virtual Memory Systems

by Kai Li, Paul Hudak , 1989
"... This paper studies the memory coherence problem in designing said inaplementing a shared virtual memory on looselycoupled multiprocessors. Two classes of aIgoritb. ms for solving the problem are presented. A prototype shared virtual memory on an Apollo ring has been implemented based on these a ..."

Memory System Characterization of Commercial Workloads

by Luiz André Barroso, Kourosh Gharachorloo, Edouard Bugnion - In Proceedings of the 25th annual international symposium on Computer architecture , 1998
"... Commercial applications such as databases and Web servers constitute the largest and fastest-growing segment of the market for multiprocessor servers. Ongoing innovations in disk subsystems, along with the ever increasing gap between processor and memory speeds, have elevated memory system design as ..."

Why there are complementary learning systems in the hippocampus and neocortex: insights from the successes and failures of connectionist models of learning and memory

by James L. McClelland, Bruce L. McNaughton, Randall C. O'Reilly , 1995
"... Damage to the hippocampal system disrupts recent memory but leaves remote memory intact. The account presented here suggests that memories are first stored via synaptic changes in the hippocampal system, that these changes support reinstatement of recent memories in the neocortex, that neocortical s ..."

The medial temporal lobe memory system

by Larry R. Squire, Stuart Zola-morgan - Science , 1991
"... Studies ofhuman amnesia and studies of an animal model of human amnesia in the monkey have identified the anatomical components of the brain system for memory in the medial temporal lobe and have illuminated its function. This neural system consists of the hippocampus and adjacent, anatomically rela ..."

The construction of autobiographical memories in the self-memory system

by Martin A. Conway, Christopher W. Pleydell-pearce - Psychological Review , 2000
"... The authors describe a model of autobiographical memory in which memories are transitory mental constructions within a self-memory system (SMS). The SMS contains an autobiographical knowledge base and current goals of the working self. Within the SMS, control processes modulate access to the knowled ..."

TreadMarks: Distributed Shared Memory on Standard Workstations and Operating Systems

by Pete Keleher , Alan L. Cox, Sandhya Dwarkadas, Willy Zwaenepoel - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1994 WINTER USENIX CONFERENCE , 1994
"... TreadMarks is a distributed shared memory (DSM) system for standard Unix systems such as SunOS and Ultrix. This paper presents a performance evaluation of TreadMarks running on Ultrix using DECstation-5000/240's that are connected by a 100-Mbps switch-based ATM LAN and a 10-Mbps Ethernet. Ou ..."

Transactional Memory: Architectural Support for Lock-Free Data Structures

by Maurice Herlihy, J. Eliot B. Moss
"... A shared data structure is lock-free if its operations do not require mutual exclusion. If one process is interrupted in the middle of an operation, other processes will not be prevented from operating on that object. In highly concurrent systems, lock-free data structures avoid common problems asso ..."

A capacity theory of comprehension: Individual differences in working memory

by Marcel Adam Just, Patricia A. Carpenter - Psychological Review , 1992
"... A theory of the way working memory capacity constrains comprehension is proposed. The theory proposes that both processing and storage are mediated by activation and that the total amount of activation available in working memory varies among individuals. Individual differences in working memory cap ..."

The evolution of multiple memory systems

by David F. Sherry, Daniel L. Schacter - In K. Pawlik & M. Rosenzweig (Eds.), International handbook of psychology , 1987
"... The existence of multiple memory systems has been proposed in a number of areas, including cogni-tive psychology, neuropsychology, and the study of animal learning and memory. We examine whether the existence of such multiple systems seems likely on evolutionary grounds. Multiple sys-tems adapted to ..."

Evaluation of Release Consistent Software Distributed Shared Memory on Emerging Network Technology

by Sandhya Dwarkadas, Pete Keleher, Alan L. Cox, Willy Zwaenepoel
"... We evaluate the effect of processor speed, network characteristics, and software overhead on the performance of release-consistent software distributed shared memory. We examine five different protocols for implementing release consistency: eager update, eager invalidate, lazy update, lazy invalidat ..."
Abstract - Cited by 467 (43 self) - Add to MetaCart
remains a serious problem for software distributed shared memory systems. These results suggest that future work on software DSMs should concentrate on reducing the amount ofsynchronization or its effect.
