Abstract The Connection Machine Model CM-5 Supercomputer is a massively parallel
computer system designed to offer performance in the range of 1 teraflops (1012 floating …

Based on current trends, multicore processors will have 1000 cores or more within the next
decade. However, their promise of increased performance will only be realized if their …

As the performance of interconnection networks becomes increasingly limited by physical
constraints in high-speed multiprocessor systems, the parameters of high-performance …

Processors in large-scale multiprocessors must be able to tolerate large communication
latencies and synchronization delays. This paper describes the architecture of a rapid …

Caches enhance the performance of multiprocessors by reducing network traffic and
average memory access latency. However, cache-based systems must address the problem …

When you think about how far and fast computer science has progressed in recent years, it's
not hard to conclude that a seven-year old handbook may fall a little short of the kind of …

Network throughput can be increased by allowing multipath, adaptive routing. Adaptive
routing allows more freedom in the paths taken by messages, spreading load over physical …

High network latencies in large-scale multiprocessors can cause a significant drop in
processor utilization. By maintaining multiple process contexts in hardware and switching …

Abstract The C/? egion Library(CRL) is a new all-software distributed shared memory (DSM)
system. CRL requires no special compiler, hardware, or operating system support beyond …
