![]() | Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh | The 'test model-checking' approach to the verification of formal memory models of multiprocessors | We offer a solution to the problem of verifying formal memory models of processors by com bining the strengths of model checking and a formal testing procedure for parallel machines We characterize the formal basis for abstracting the tests into test automata and associated memory rule safety p... | Formal memory models; Shared memory multiprocessors; Formal testing; Model; Checking | 1998 |

![]() | Chatterjee, Prosenjit; Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh | Formally specifying memory consistency models and automatically generating executable specifications | Memory ordering properties of shared memory multiprocessors are more subtle and less well understood than cache coherence. These properties tend to be processor or platform specific and are not always formally specified. It is difficult to compare even those platforms whose memory ordering propert... | Computer memory; Memory consistency models; Memory ordering; Shared memory multiprocessors | 2001 |

![]() | George, Lal | A scheduling strategy for shared memory multiprocessors | An efficient scheduling strategy for shared memory multiprocessors is described. The rapid dissemination of tasks to available procesors and ready queues is crucial to the performance of any parallel system. Such overheads determine the attainable speedup and performance of the system. Poor techniq... | Shared memory multiprocessors | 1990 |

![]() | Carter, John B. | Design alternatives for shared memory multiprocessors | In this paper. we consider the design alternatives available for building the next generation DSM machine (e.g., the choice of memory architecture, network technology, and amount and location of per-node remote data cache). To investigate this design space, we have simulated six applications on a wi... | Shared memory multiprocessors | 1998 |
