| A distributed garbage collection algorithm | Concurrent Scheme extends the Scheme programming language, providing parallel program execution on a distributed network. The Concurrent Scheme environment requires a garbage collector to reclaim global objects; objects that exist in a portion of the global heap located on the node that created them... | Concurrent Scheme; Garbage collection algorithm | 1992 |

Carter, John B. | A comparison of software and hardware synchronization mechanisms for distributed shared memory multiprocessors | Efficient synchronization is an essential component of parallel computing. The designers of traditional multiprocessors have included hardware support only for simple operations such as compare-and-swap and load-linked/store-conditional, while high level synchronization primitives such as locks, bar... | Hardware locks | 1996 |

Zhang, Lixin | A DRAM backend for the impulse memory system | The Impulse Adaptable Memory System exposes DRAM access patterns not seen in conventional memory systems. For instance, it can generate 32 DRAM accesses each of which requests a four-byte word in 32 cycles. Conventional DRAM backends are optimized for accesses that request full cache lines. They m... | Impulse Adaptable Memory System; DRAM | 1998-12-16 |
