[comp.parallel] references wanted

overeind@uva.UUCP (B. J. Overeinder (I84)) (04/12/89)

I am seeking references on the following topic:

	load-balancing / task distribution problems of object oriented or 
	parallel programs on a (distributed) multiprocessor system.

In a distributed system the modules of a program may be executed on the same or
different processors. Two modules that are executed on different processors but 
that communicate with one another do so using the system's communication subnet-
work.
Please E-mail references to me and I will post a compilation eventualy.

				Thanks,
					Benno.

I'm desperately looking for some articles about distributed simulation, 
especially articles that deal with maintaining virtual time in a distributed
simulation environment. Can somebody help me ?

Thanks in advance,

   I'm looking for references on parallel approaches for:
   a) Search
   b) Goal Reduction
   
   E-mail to me and I'll summarize.

      Thanks in advance

Having just started my Masters I'm looking for references in the
area of synchronisation mechanisms. In particular, I'd be pleased if anyone
could point me in the right direction for references to the following:

        1. How to overcome the basic conflict between inheritance and
           synchronisation.
        2. Powerful synchronisation mechanisms. Semaphores and Monitors are
           a bit low level. I'm looking for something with similar/more
           expressive power than (Regular, Open, Predicate) Path Expressions.
        3. Efficient implementation of low level synchronisation primitives.

(You may be wondering what this has got to do with OO programming. Point (1)
above is the answer and hence my crossposting to comp.object).

Thanks in advance
Ciaran.

P.S. Please email me. I'll summerise if there's much interest.
