Simple but Effective Techniques for NUMA Memory Management

by William J. Bolosky, Robert P. Fitzgerald, Michael L. Scott - In SOSP , 1989
"... Multiprocessors with non-uniform memory access times introduce the problem of placing data near the processes that use them, in order to improve performance. We have implemented an automatic page placement strategy in the Mach operating system on the IBM ACE multiprocessor workstation. Our experienc ..."

Taming the Underlying Challenges of Reliable Multihop Routing in Sensor Networks

by Alec Woo, Terence Tong, David Culler - In SenSys , 2003
"... The dynamic and lossy nature of wireless communication poses major challenges to reliable, self-organizing multihop networks. These non-ideal characteristics are more problematic with the primitive, low-power radio transceivers found in sensor networks, and raise new issues that routing protocols mu ..."

-node, in-depth empirical experiments. The most effective solution uses a simple time averaged EWMA estimator, frequency based table management, and cost-based routing.

Broadcast Disks: Data Management for Asymmetric Communications Environments

by Swarup Acharya, Rafael Alonso, Michael Franklin, Stanley Zdonik , 1995
"... This paper proposes the use of repetitive broadcast as a way of augmenting the memory hierarchy of clients in an asymmetric communication environment. We describe a new technique called “Broadcast Disks” for structuring the broadcast in a way that provides improved performance for non-uniformly acce ..."

Software transactional memory for dynamic-sized data structures

by Maurice Herlihy, Victor Luchangco, Mark Moir, William N. Scherer III - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 22ND ACM SYMPOSIUM ON PRINCIPLES OF DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING , 2003
"... We propose a new form of software transactional memory (STM) designed to support dynamic-sized data structures, and we describe a novel non-blocking implementation. The non-blocking property we consider is obstruction-freedom. Obstruction-freedom is weaker than lock-freedom; as a result, it admits s ..."

NUMA policies and their relation to memory architecture

by William J. Bolosky - In Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems , 1991
"... Multiprocessor memory reference traces provide a wealth of information on the behavior of parallel programs. We have used this information to explore the relationship between kernel-based NUMA management policies and multiprocessor memory architecture. Our trace analysis techniques employ an off-lin ..."

Data Mountain: Using Spatial Memory for Document Management

by George Robertson, Mary Czerwinski, Kevin Larson, Daniel C. Robbins, David Thiel, Maarten Van Dantzich , 1998
"... Effective management of documents on computers has been a central user interface problem for many years. One common approach involves using 2D spatial layouts of icons representing the documents, particularly for information workspace tasks. This approach takes advantage of human 2D spatial cognitio ..."
Abstract - Cited by 273 (14 self) - Add to MetaCart
. We describe a new technique for document management called the Data Mountain, which allows users to place documents at arbitrary positions on an inclined plane in a 3D desktop virtual environment using a simple 2D interaction technique. We discuss how the design evolved in response to user feedback

The Robustness of NUMA Memory Management
