Book
Quantitative system performance: computer system analysis using queueing network models
TL;DR: This book shows the quantitative system performance computer system analysis using queuing network models as your friend in spending the time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive load sharing in homogeneous distributed systems
TL;DR: It is shown that extremely simple adaptive load sharing policies, which collect very small amounts of system state information and which use this information in very simple ways, yield dramatic performance improvements.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Scheduler activations: effective kernel support for the user-level management of parallelism
TL;DR: It is argued that the performance of kernel threads is inherently worse than that of user-level threads, rather than this being an artifact of existing implementations, and that managing parallelism at the user level is essential to high-performance parallel computing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scheduler activations: effective kernel support for the user-level management of parallelism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the performance of kernel threads is inherently worse than that of user-level threads, rather than this being an artifact of existing implementations; managing parallelism at the user level is essential to high-performance parallel computing.
Book
Speedup versus efficiency in parallel systems
TL;DR: The tradeoff between speedup and efficiency that is inherent to a software system is investigated in this paper, and the extent to which this tradeoff is determined by the average parallelism of the software system, as contrasted with other, more detailed, characterizations, is shown.
