MELDing Multiple Granularities of Parallelism

We are developing an experimental programming language, MELD, that suppons a range of concurrent styles by supporting multiple programming paradigms at multiple levels of granularity. MELD integrates three granularities of parallelism: macro dataflow among statements within a method or among methods for flne grain concurrency, synchronous or asynchronous message passing among local or remote ob...

Melding Abstractions with Mobile Agents

Mobile Agents (MA) seems to be the most suitable technology for distributed systems to integrate the Internet in a synergic way. One of the problems that should be faced when considering MA models for distributed applications is the lack of a thorough model capable of describing the Internet world composed of interconnected networks, each of them with its peculiar policies (for administrative, ...

Optimistic Concurrency Control by Melding Trees

This paper describes a new optimistic concurrency control algorithm for tree-structured data called meld. Each transaction executes on a snapshot of a multiversion database and logs a record with its intended updates. Meld processes log records in log order on a cached partial-copy of the last committed state to determine whether each transaction commits. If so, it merges the transaction’s upda...
