Book Description
Euro-ParConferenceSeries The European Conference on Parallel Computing (Euro-Par) is an international conference series dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. The major themes fall into the categories of hardware, software, algorithms, and applications. This year, new and interesting topicswereintroduced,likePeer-to-PeerComputing,DistributedMultimedia- stems, and Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing. For the ?rst time, we organized a Demo Session showing many challenging applications. The general objective of Euro-Par is to provide a forum promoting the de- lopment of parallel and distributed computing both as an industrial technique and an academic discipline, extending the frontiers of both the state of the art and the state of the practice. The industrial importance of parallel and dist- buted computing is supported this year by a special Industrial Session as well as a vendors’ exhibition. This is particularly important as currently parallel and distributed computing is evolving into a globally important technology; the b- zword Grid Computing clearly expresses this move. In addition, the trend to a - bile world is clearly visible in this year’s Euro-Par. ThemainaudienceforandparticipantsatEuro-Parareresearchersinaca- mic departments, industrial organizations, and government laboratories. Euro- Par aims to become the primary choice of such professionals for the presentation of new results in their speci?c areas. Euro-Par has its own Internet domain with a permanent Web site where the history of the conference series is described: http://www.euro-par.org. The Euro-Par conference series is sponsored by the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM) and the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).

Book Description
This book constitutes revised selected papers from the workshops held at the 26th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Euro-Par 2020, which took place in Warsaw, Poland, in August 2020. The workshops were held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 27 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. Euro-Par is an annual, international conference in Europe, covering all aspects of parallel and distributed processing. These range from theory to practice, from small to the largest parallel and distributed systems and infrastructures, from fundamental computational problems to full-edged applications, from architecture, compiler, language and interface design and implementation to tools, support infrastructures, and application performance aspects.
Distributed Shared Memory

File Size : 42,7 MB
Release : 1997-08-10
Category : Computers
ISBN : 9780818677373
Book Description
The papers present in this text survey both distributed shared memory (DSM) efforts and commercial DSM systems. The book discusses relevant issues that make the concept of DSM one of the most attractive approaches for building large-scale, high-performance multiprocessor systems. The authors provide a general introduction to the DSM field as well as a broad survey of the basic DSM concepts, mechanisms, design issues, and systems. The book concentrates on basic DSM algorithms, their enhancements, and their performance evaluation. In addition, it details implementations that employ DSM solutions at the software and the hardware level. This guide is a research and development reference that provides state-of-the art information that will be useful to architects, designers, and programmers of DSM systems.

Book Description
Parallel and distributed computing is one of the foremost technologies for shaping future research and development activities in academia and industry. Hyperthreading in Intel processors, hypertransport links in next generation AMD processors, multicore silicon in today’s high-end microprocessors, and emerging cluster and grid computing have moved parallel/distributed computing into the mainstream of computing. New Horizons of Parallel and Distributed Computing is a collection of self-contained chapters written by pioneering researchers to provide solutions for newly emerging problems in this field. This volume will not only provide novel ideas, work in progress and state-of-the-art techniques in the field, but will also stimulate future research activities in the area of parallel and distributed computing with applications. New Horizons of Parallel and Distributed Computing is intended for industry researchers and developers, as well as for academic researchers and advanced-level students in computer science and electrical engineering. A valuable reference work, it is also suitable as a textbook.

Book Description
Abstract: "The shared memory system can reduce the cost of programming effort in the distributed memory systems. On distributed systems such as networks of computers, it is necessary to provide the shared memory model by software. We have proposed an 'Asymmetric Distributed Shared Memory: ADSM', that provides high-speed-update distributed memory access by software. The compiler for the ADSM translates the code reading to shared memory into a single load instruction and translates the code writing to shared memory into a sequence of instructions, which means instructions managing consistency are separated from the store instruction. The instructions managing consistency are explicitly inserted after the store instruction. According to this property, we can perform various optimizations: (1) We can reduce the number of instructions managing consistency. (2)We can select any protocol per page. We have implemented prototypes of the compiler and the runtime system for the ADSM on a multicomputer Fujitsu AP1000+. We use 3 of the SPLASH-2 kernel benchmarks. We evaluate the effectiveness of the optimization on the ADSM scheme by preliminary experiments."

Book Description
Abstract: "A distributed shared memory (DSM) system allows shared memory parallel programs to be executed on distributed memory multiprocessors. The challenge in building a DSM system is to achieve good performance over a wide range of shared memory programs without requiring extensive modifications to the source code. The performance challenge translates into reducing the amount of communication performed by the DSM system to that performed by an equivalent message passing program. This thesis describes four novel techniques for reducing the communication overhead of DSM, including: (i) the use of software release consistency, (ii) support for multiple consistency protocols, (iii) a multiple writer protocol, and (iv) an update timeout mechanism. Release consistency allows modifications of shared data to be handled via a delayed update queue, which masks network latencies. Providing multiple consistency protocols allows each shared variable to be kept consistent using a protocol well-suited to the way it is accessed. A multiple writer protocol addresses the problem of false sharing by reducing the amount of unnecessary communication performed to keep falsely shared data consistent. The update timeout mechanism reduces the impact of updates to stale data. These techniques have been implemented in the Munin DSM system. The impact of these features is evaluated by comparing the performance of a collection of shared memory programs running under Munin with equivalent message passing and conventional DSM programs. Over half of the shared memory programs achieved at least 95% of the speedup of their message passing equivalents. For the other programs, the performance bottlenecks were removed via minor program modifications. Furthermore, Munin programs achieved from 25% to over 100% higher speedups than equivalent conventional DSM programs when there was a high degree of sharing. The results indicate that DSM can be a viable alternative to message passing if the amount of unnecessary communication is minimized."
