Software Cache Coherence for Large Scale Multiprocessors
Shared memory is an appealing abstraction for parallel programming. It must be implemented with caches in order toperform well, however, and caches require a coherence mechanism t...

Improving Multiprocessor Performance with Coarse-Grain Coherence Tracking
To maintain coherence in conventional shared-memory multiprocessor systems, processors first check other processors’ caches before obtaining data from memory. This coherence che...

A Timestamp-based Selective Invalidation Scheme for Multiprocessor Cache Coherence
- Among all software cache coherence strategaes, the ones that are based on the concept of tamestamps show the greatest potentaal an terms of cache performance. The early tamestamp...

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...
