Summary:Abstract: "The notion of program behavior is related to the execution of a program. There have been relatively few studies on the behavior of programs executing on parallel systems. Yet, the understanding of parallel program behavior is crucial to the design of parallel systems. This thesis examines the memory reference behavior of large parallel scientific application programs executing on a shared-memory multiprocessor. Several important aspects of the memory reference behavior of parallel programs are characterized, such as the memory reference pattern, the degree of data sharing among processors, and the temporal and spatial localities of memory references
The impact of memory reference behavior on memory hierarchy design in shared-memory multiprocessors and trace reduction techniques is discussed.
