Computational models and program synthesis for parallel out-of-core computation
Zhiyong Li, John H. Reif · 1996
As the performance gap between processors and memory systems continues to increase, memory and I/O subsystems are increasingly becoming the major bottleneck for many I/O-intensive out-of-core applications. To address this problem, new models of parallel computation and new methods of program synthesis for out-of-core computation are needed. This thesis presents our contributions in these two areas. We first introduce the concept of resource metrics to characterize various models of parallel compu...
