Software-controlled cache prefetching and data forwarding are widely used techniques for tolerating memory latency in shared memory multiprocessors. However, some previous studies...
Bus-based shared memory multiprocessors with private caches and snooping write-invalidate cache coherence protocols are dominant form of small- to medium-scale parallel machines t...
—We evaluate three extensions to directory-based cache coherence protocols in shared-memory multiprocessors. These extensions are aimed at reducing the penalties associated with ...
This paper evaluates the bene t of adding a shared cache to the network interface as a means of improving the performance of networked workstations con gured as a distributed shar...
