Fractal Coherence: Scalably Verifiable Cache Coherence
We propose an architectural design methodology for designing formally verifiable cache coherence protocols, called Fractal Coherence. Properly designed to be fractal in behavior, t...

Lamport Clocks: Verifying a Directory Cache-Coherence Protocol
Modern shared-memory multiprocessors use complex memory system implementations that include a variety of non-trivial and interacting optimizations. More time is spent in verifying...

SigNet: Network-on-chip filtering for coarse vector directories
—Scalable cache coherence is imperative as systems move into the many-core era with cores counts numbering in the hundreds. Directory protocols are often favored as more scalable...

Increasing the effectiveness of directory caches by deactivating coherence for private memory blocks
To meet the demand for more powerful high-performance shared-memory servers, multiprocessor systems must incorporate efficient and scalable cache coherence protocols, such as thos...

Rebound: scalable checkpointing for coherent shared memory
As we move to large manycores, the hardware-based global checkpointing schemes that have been proposed for small shared-memory machines do not scale. Scalability barriers include ...
