Most large shared-memory multiprocessors use directory protocols to keep per-processor caches coherent. Some memory references in such systems, however, suffer long latencies for ...
Abstract—Sharing patterns in shared-memory multiprocessors are the key to performance: uniprocessor latencytolerating techniques such as out-of-order execution and non-blocking c...
Two broad classes of memory models are available today: models with hardware cache coherence, used in conventional chip multiprocessors, and models that rely upon software to mana...

Grid systems are well-known for its high performance computing or large data storage with inexpensive devices. They can be categorized into two major types: computational grid and ...
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...
