Download or read book Hybrid Memory Management for Parallel Execution of Prolog on Shared Memory Multiprocessors written by University of California, Berkeley. Computer Science Division and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With respect to space, we propose a hybrid heap-stack (called ELPS) which is dynamically allocated for more efficient space sharing and interference-free parallel execution. With respect to time, we present a two-tier memory architecture (called the Aquarius-II) with separate synchronization and high-bandwidth memory spaces. A multiprocessor simulation system has been developed to evaluate the performance of ELPS and the Aquarius-II. ELPS incurs an average of 2% overhead (11% without hardware support), while satisfying the memory requirement to keep up with the speedup potential of the parallel execution model.
