We describe the design and implementation of FaRM, a new main memory distributed
computing platform that exploits RDMA to improve both latency and throughput by an order …

The most exciting development in parallel computer architecture is the convergence of
traditionally disparate approaches on a common machine structure. This book explains the …

The memory coherence problem in designing and implementing a shared virtual memory on
loosely coupled multiprocessors is studied in depth. Two classes of algorithms, centralized …

Motivation: Bayesian estimation of phylogeny is based on the posterior probability
distribution of trees. Currently, the only numerical method that can effectively approximate …

We propose an intuitive abstraction for a process to export its memory to remote hosts, and
to access the memory exported by others. This abstraction provides a simpler interface to …

Recent advancements in high-performance networking interconnect significantly narrow the
performance gap between intra-node and inter-node communications, and open up …

Writing parallel applications for computational grids is a challenging task. To achieve good
performance, algorithms designed for local area networks must be adapted to the …

Emerging datacenter applications operate on vast datasets that are kept in DRAM to
minimize latency. The large number of servers needed to accommodate this massive …

The hybrid memory model of clusters of multiprocessors raises two issues: programming
model and performance. Many parallel programs have been written by using the MPI …

We investigate a transactional memory runtime system providing scaling and strong
consistency, ie, 1-copy serializability on commodity clusters for both distributed scientific …
