In this paper we propose the OPTNET, a novel optical network and associated coherence protocol for scalable multiprocessors. The network divides its channels into broadcast and po...
Traditional DMA requires the operating system to perform many tasks to initiate a transfer, with overhead on the order of hundreds or thousands of CPU instructions. This paper des...
