I'm looking for references on theoretical models of parallel computation, eg. PRAMs. Specifically I'm interested in modifications to the PRAM model that allow it to take into account aspects such as asynchrony or network contention. I'm also concerned with the cost of simulating PRAM algorithms on more realistic machines. Recent or hard to find papers are of particular interest to me, as well as up to date information on who is working in this field. I will post a summary of responses if it seem appropriate.
