Improving the Efficiency of Parallel Applications on Multithreaded and Multicore Systems

The scalability of parallel applications executing on multithreaded and multicore multiprocessors is often quite limited due to large degrees of contention over shared resources on these systems. In fact, negative scalability frequently occurs such that a non-negligable performance loss is observed...
