    • PRELUDE: A System for Portable Parallel Software 

      Weihl, William Edward; Brewer, Eric A.; Colbrook, Adrian; Dellarocas, Chrysanthos N.; Hsieh, Wilson; e.a. (1991)
      This paper describes PRELUDE, a programming language and accompanying system support for writing portable MIMD parallel programs. PRELUDE supports a methodology for designing and organizing parallel programs that makes ...

    • The Real-time Cost of Timing Uncertainty: Consensus and Failure Detection 

      Ponzio, Stephen J. (1991-11)
      In real distributed systems, processes may have only inexact information about the amount of real time needed for primitive operations such as process steps. This thesis studies the effect of this timing uncertainty on ...

    • Algorithms for Search Trees on Message-passing Architectures 

      Colbrook, Adrian; Brewer, Eric A.; Dellarocas, Chrysanthos N.; Weihl, William E. (1991-09)
      In this paper we describe a new algorithm for maintaining a balanced search tree on a message-passing MIMD architecture; the algorithm is particularly well suited for implementation on a small number of processors.
