"... Busy-wait techniques are heavily used for mutual exclusion and barrier synchronization in shared-memory parallel programs. Unfortunately, typical implementations of busy-waiting tend to produce large amounts of memory and interconnect contention, introducing performance bottlenecks that become marke ..."

Memory Consistency and Event Ordering in Scalable Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
- In Proceedings of the 17th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture
, 1990
"... Scalable shared-memory multiprocessors distribute memory among the processors and use scalable interconnection networks to provide high bandwidth and low latency communication. In addition, memory accesses are cached, buffered, and pipelined to bridge the gap between the slow shared memory and the f ..."

TreadMarks: Distributed Shared Memory on Standard Workstations and Operating Systems
- 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 ..."

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