Here is the pointer for everyone at once: ftp:ftp.eecs.umich.edu:/techreports/cse/1995/CSE-TR-254-95-cover.ps.Z ftp:ftp.eecs.umich.edu:/techreports/cse/1995/CSE-TR-254-95.ps.Z There are also a number of good papers on performance analysis and optimization for multiprocessing architectures on this site. I believe this is Peter Chen's home site. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
