This paper explores area/parallelism tradeo s in the design of distributed shared-memory (DSM) multiprocessors built out of large single-chip computing nodes. In this context, are...
Most of recent research on distributed shared memory (DSM)systems have focused on either careful design of node controllersor cache coherenceprotocols. Whileevaluating these desig...
As multiprocessor systems-on-chip become a reality, performance modeling becomes a challenge. To quickly evaluate many architectures, some type of high-level simulation is require...
