A Superassociative Tagged Cache Coherence Directory
Dynamically tagged directories are memory-efficient mechanisms for maintaining cache coherence in sharedmemory multiprocessors. These directories use specialpurpose caches of poin...

TurboTag: lookup filtering to reduce coherence directory power
On-chip coherence directories of today's multi-core systems are not energy efficient. Coherence directories dissipate a significant fraction of their power on unnecessary loo...

SCD: A scalable coherence directory with flexible sharer set encoding
Large-scale CMPs with hundreds of cores require a directory-based protocol to maintain cache coherence. However, previously proposed coherence directories are hard to scale beyond...

Design Trade-Offs in High-Throughput Coherence Controllers
Recent research shows that the high occupancy of Coherence Controllers (CCs) is a major performance bottleneck in scalable shared-memory multiprocessors. In this paper, we propose...

Scalable Directory Organization for Tiled CMP Architectures
Although directory-based cache coherence protocols are the best choice when designing chip multiprocessor architectures (CMPs) with tens of processor cores on chip, the memory ove...
