A multiprocessor with replicated shared memory
AFIPS '83: Proceedings of the May 16-19, 1983, national computer conference

A multiprocessor includes five 8086 microprocessors interconnected with replicated shared memory. Such a memory structure consists of a set of memories, one for each processor, with identical contents. This minimizes read interference since each ...
Mtool: An Integrated System for Performance Debugging Shared Memory Multiprocessor Applications

The authors describe Mtool, a software tool for analyzing performance losses in shared memory parallel programs. Mtool augments a program with low overhead instrumentation which perturbs the program's execution as little as possible while generating ...
Energy efficient Phase Change Memory based main memory for future high performance systems
IGCC '11: Proceedings of the 2011 International Green Computing Conference and Workshops

Phase Change Memory (PCM) has recently attracted a lot of attention as a scalable alternative to DRAM for main memory systems. As the need for high-density memory increases, DRAM has proven to be less attractive from the point of view of scaling and ...
