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.
