Increasing the effectiveness of directory caches by deactivating coherence for private memory blocks
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...

Dealing with Transient Faults in the Interconnection Network of CMPs at the Cache Coherence Level
The importance of transient faults is predicted to grow due to current technology trends of increased scale of integration. One of the components that will be significantly affecte...

Fractal Coherence: Scalably Verifiable Cache Coherence
We propose an architectural design methodology for designing formally verifiable cache coherence protocols, called Fractal Coherence. Properly designed to be fractal in behavior, t...

Experience with a Language for Writing Coherence Protocols
In this paper we describe our experience with Teapot [7], a domain-specific language for writing cache coherence protocols. Cache coherence is of concern when parallel and distrib...

Speculative supplier identification for reducing power of interconnects in snoopy cache coherence protocols
In this work we reduce interconnect power dissipation in Symmetric Multiprocessors or SMPs. We revisit snoopy cache coherence protocols and reduce unnecessary interconnect activit...

Dealing with Traffic-Area Trade-Off in Direct Coherence Protocols for Many-Core CMPs
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...

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...
