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...
The cache hierarchy design in existing SMT and superscalar processors is optimized for latency, but not for bandwidth. The size of the L1 data cache did not scale over the past de...
Abstract. In many-core CMP architectures, the cache coherence protocol is a key component since it can add requirements of area and power consumption to the final design and, there...
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...
