Cache hierarchies have been traditionally designed for usage by a single application, thread or core. As multi-threaded (MT) and multi-core (CMP) platform architectures emerge and...
Per-core local (scratchpad) memories allow direct inter-core communication, with latency and energy advantages over coherent cache-based communication, especially as CMP architect...
