ParaTran: A Transparent, Transaction Based Runtime Mechanism for Parallel Execution of Scheme
(1989-07)The number of applications requiring high speed symbolic computation and the performance requirements of these projects are both rapidly increasing. However, the computer science community's ability to produce high ... -
Optimistic Concurrency Control for Nested Distributed Transactions
(1989-06)Optimistic concurrency control techniques allow atomic transactions (or actions for short) to execute without synchronization, relying on commit-time validation to ensure serializability. Previous work in this area has ... -
A Study of Backoff Barrier Synchronization
(1989-06)Shared-memory multiprocessors commonly use shared variables for synchronization. Simulations of real parallel applications show that large-scale cache-coherent multiprocessors suffer significant amounts of invalidation ...
