Latency Research Is Needed

Latency Research Is Needed

• Latency tolerant algorithms will be essential
  • Today the most extreme latency issues are seen in networks of workstations and other such metacomputers.
• Hardware mechanisms for hiding and/or tolerating latency.
• Language facilities (such as programmer-directed prefetching) for managing latency.
• Need a “hierarchy little language” to describe latency structure
• Software tools, such as visualization facilities, for measuring and managing latency.
• Performance studies of distributed SMPs to study latency issues.
