Hiding Miss Latencies with Multithreading on the Data Diffusion Machine Henk L. Muller, Paul W. A. Stallard, and David H. D. Warren. CRC Press, August 1995. Abstract Large parallel computers require techniques to tolerate the potentially large latencies of accessing remote data. Multithreading is one such technique. We use a detailed emulator to study DDM's with up to 72 nodes, allowing the scalability of multithreading to be tested further than in other studies.
Most applications however reach the ceiling of their parallelism.
We briefly discuss how the results may generalise to other architectures. BibTeX entry . Other publications by Henk Muller , on the Data Diffusion Machine , on Computer Architecture , on Parallel Processing , of 1995 .
