Modern high-end machines feature multiple processor packages, each of which contains multiple independent cores and integrated memory controllers connected directly to dedicated physical RAM. These packages are connected via a shared bus, creating a system with a heterogeneous memory hierarchy. Since this shared bus has less bandwidth than the sum of the links to memory, aggregate memory bandwidth is higher when parallel threads all access memory local to their processor package than when they access memory attached to a remote package. This bandwidth limitation has traditionally limited the scalability of modern functional language implementations, which seldom scale well past 8 cores, even on small benchmarks. This work presents a garbage collector integrated with our strict, parallel functional language implementation, Manticore, and shows that it scales effectively on both a 48-core AMD Opteron machine and a 32-core Intel Xeon machine.

In this paper we are interested in bounding the number of instructions taken to process transactions. The main result is a multiversion transactional system that supports constant delay (extra instructions beyond running in isolation) for all read-on
ly transactions, delay equal to the number of processes for writing transactions that are not concurrent with other writers, and lock-freedom for concurrent writers. The system supports precise garbage collection in th
Based on the two observations that diverse applications perform better on different multicore architectures, and that different phases of an application may have vastly different resource requirements, Pal et al. proposed a novel reconfigurable hardw
are approach for executing multithreaded programs. Instead of mapping a concurrent program to a fixed architecture, the architecture adaptively reconfigures itself to meet the applications concurrency and communication requirements, yielding significant improvements in performance. Based on our earlier abstract operational framework for multicore execution with hierarchical memory structures, we describe execution of multithreaded programs on reconfigurable architectures that support a variety of clustered configurations. Such reconfiguration may not preserve the semantics of programs due to the possible introduction of race conditions arising from concurrent accesses to shared memory by threads running on the different cores. We present an intuitive partial ordering notion on the cluster configurations, and show that the semantics of multithreaded programs is always preserved for reconfigurations upward in that ordering, whereas semantics preservation for arbitrary reconfigurations can be guaranteed for well-synchronised programs. We further show that a simple approximate notion of efficiency of execution on the different configurations can be obtained using the notion of amortised bisimulations, and extend it to dynamic reconfiguration.
We demonstrate that general-purpose memory allocation involving many threads on many cores can be done with high performance, multicore scalability, and low memory consumption. For this purpose, we have designed and implemented scalloc, a concurrent
allocator that generally performs and scales in our experiments better than other allocators while using less memory, and is still competitive otherwise. The main ideas behind the design of scalloc are: uniform treatment of small and big objects through so-called virtual spans, efficiently and effectively reclaiming free memory through fast and scalable global data structures, and constant-time (modulo synchronization) allocation and deallocation operations that trade off memory reuse and spatial locality without being subject to false sharing.
The functional correspondence is a manual derivation technique transforming higher-order evaluators into the semantically equivalent abstract machines. The transformation consists of two well-known program transformations: translation to continuation
-passing style that uncovers the control flow of the evaluator and Reynoldss defunctionalization that generates a first-order transition function. Ever since the transformation was first described by Danvy et al. it has found numerous applications in connecting known evaluators and abstract machines, but also in discovering new abstract machines for a variety of $lambda$-calculi as well as for logic-programming, imperative and object-oriented languages. We present an algorithm that automates the functional correspondence. The algorithm accepts an evaluator written in a dedicated minimal functional meta-language and it first transforms it to administrative normal form, which facilitates program analysis, before performing selective translation to continuation-passing style, and selective defunctionalization. The two selective transformations are driven by a control-flow analysis that is computed by an abstract interpreter obtained using the abstracting abstract machines methodology, which makes it possible to transform only the desired parts of the evaluator. The article is accompanied by an implementation of the algorithm in the form of a command-line tool that allows for automatic transformation of an evaluator embedded in a Racket source file and gives fine-grained control over the resulting machine.
