Using Coherence Information and Decay Techniques to Optimize L2 Cache Leakage in CMPs
This paper evaluates several techniques to save leakage in CMP L2 caches by selectively switching off the less used lines. We primarily focus on private snoopy L2 caches. In this c...

Interconnect-Aware Coherence Protocols for Chip Multiprocessors
Improvements in semiconductor technology have made it possible to include multiple processor cores on a single die. Chip Multi-Processors (CMP) are an attractive choice for future...

Performance Evaluation and Cost Analysis of Cache Protocol Extensions for Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
—We evaluate three extensions to directory-based cache coherence protocols in shared-memory multiprocessors. These extensions are aimed at reducing the penalties associated with ...

Software-Based Cache Coherence with Hardware-Assisted Selective Self-Invalidations Using Bloom Filters
— Implementing shared memory consistency models on top of hardware caches gives rise to the well-known cache coherence problem. The standard solution involves implementing cohere...

A Power-Aware Prediction-Based Cache Coherence Protocol for Chip Multiprocessors
Snoopy cache coherence protocols broadcast requests to all nodes, reducing the latency of cache to cache transfer misses at the expense of increasing interconnect power. We propos...
