On the self-similar nature of Ethernet traffic (extended version)

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Ethernet LAN traffic is statistically self-similar, that none of the commonly used traffic models is able to capture this fractal-like behavior, and that such behavior has serious implications for the design, control, and analysis of high-speed, cell-based networks.

Fine-grained network time synchronization using reference broadcasts

TL;DR: Reference Broadcast Synchronization (RBS) as discussed by the authors is a scheme in which nodes send reference beacons to their neighbors using physical-layer broadcasts, and receivers use their arrival time as a point of reference for comparing their clocks.

Transactional memory: architectural support for lock-free data structures

TL;DR: Simulation results show that transactional memory matches or outperforms the best known locking techniques for simple benchmarks, even in the absence of priority inversion, convoying, and deadlock.
Journal ArticleDOI

Virtual time

TL;DR: Virtual time is a new paradigm for organizing and synchronizing distributed systems which can be applied to such problems as distributed discrete event simulation and distributed database concurrency control.

A new minicomputer/multiprocessor for the ARPA network

TL;DR: Since the early years of the digital computer era, there has been a continuing attempt to gain processing power by organizing hardware processors so as to achieve some form of parallel operation.
