/parallel/standards/hippi/hippi-6400-annex_0.1.ps.gz: HIPPI-6400 Informative Annex Section (Draft) Revision 0.1 This draft addresses the topic of fair bandwidth allocation and the HIPPI-6400 VCs, and could be subtitled "How to Get the Behavior You Want From Your HIPPI-6400 Connections". It attempts to deal with differences which users and and systems designers will see between HIPPI-6400 behavior and the predecessor HIPPI channels, and will eventually suggest mechanisms which can be used to ensure fair bandwidth allocation and predictable behavior.

/parallel/languages/code/icpppaper.ps.Z: A Unified Model for Concurrent Debugging by S.I. Hyder; J.F. Werth and J.C. Browne. University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas, USA. International Conference on Parallel Processing, 1993 ABSTRACT: Events are occurrence instances of actions. The thesis of this paper is that the use of "actions", instead of events, greatly simplifies the problem of concurrent debugging. Occurrence instances of actions provide a debugger with a unique identifier for each event. These identifiers help the debugger in recording the event orderings. The recorded orderings indicate much more than a mere temporal order. They indicate the dependences that "cause" the actions to execute. A debugger can, then, collect the dependence information from the orderings of different instances of the same action, and deduce the conditions that govern the execution of the action. This provides a framework for representing and checking the expected behavior. Unlike existing approaches, we cover all parts of the debugging cycle. Our unified model, therefore, allows a single debugger to support different debugging facilities like execution replay, race detection, assertion/model checking, execution history displays, and animation.
