Smith, Burton, “The End of Architecture,” Keynote Address Presented at the 17th Annual Symposium on Computer Architecture, Seattle, Washington, May 29, 1990. Smith, Burton, The Quest for General-Purpose Parallel Computing. Sreedhar, Vugranam C. et al., “Incremental Computation of Dominat...
In this paper, we describe parallelization on shared memory architectures of two steps of mesh improvement and generation: edge/face swapping and vertex insertion (refinement). The input of our approach is an initial 2D or 3D constrained Delaunay boundary conforming mesh. Yet, if the boundary conf...
A software architecture for the hot add and swap of adapters. The software architecture allows users to replace failed components, upgrade outdated components, and add new functionality, such as new network interfaces, disk interface adapters and storage, without impacting existing users. The software...
1. A method of swapping out a memory region in a system area network, comprising: instructing a process to inhibit further operations to the memory region; determining if a current number of outstanding operations to the memory region is zero; and swapping out the memory region if the current...
