Support for Fine-Grained Synchronization in Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
Abstract. It has been already verified that hardware-supported finegrain synchronization provides a significant performance improvement over coarse-grained synchronization mecha...

Coherent Network Interfaces for Fine-Grain Communication
Historically, processor accesses to memory-mapped device registers have been marked uncachable to insure their visibility to the device. The ubiquity of snooping cache coherence, ...

Exploiting Fine-Grained Data Parallelism with Chip Multiprocessors and Fast Barriers
We examine the ability of CMPs, due to their lower onchip communication latencies, to exploit data parallelism at inner-loop granularities similar to that commonly targeted by vec...

Adaptive Software Cache Management for Distributed Shared Memory Architectures
An adaptive cache coherence mechanism exploits semantic information about the expected or observed access behavior of particular data objects. We contend that, in distributed shar...
