Abstract:In distributed memory multithreaded systems, the long memory latencies and unpredictable synchronization delays are tolerated by context switching, i.e., by suspending the current thread and switching the processor to another thread waiting for execution. Simple analytical upper bounds on performance measures are derived using throughput analysis and extreme values of some model parameters. These derived bounds are compared with performance results obtained by simulation of a detailed model of the analyzed arc… Show more
