Massively parallel processors have begun using commodity operating systems that support demandpaged virtual memory. To evaluate the utility of virtual memory, we measured the behavior of seven shared-memory parallel application programs on a simulated distributed-shared-memory machine. Our results (
This paper considers the use of data prefetching and an alternative mechanism, data forwarding, for reducing memory latency caused by interprocessor communication in cache coherent, shared memory multiprocessors. Data prefetching is accomplished by using a multiprocessor software pipelined algorithm
