LimitLESS Directories: A Scalable Cache Coherence Scheme
Caches enhance the performance of multiprocessors by reducing network trac and average memory access latency. However, cache-based systems must address the problem of cache coher...

A Superassociative Tagged Cache Coherence Directory
Dynamically tagged directories are memory-efficient mechanisms for maintaining cache coherence in sharedmemory multiprocessors. These directories use specialpurpose caches of poin...

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...

An Adaptive Cache Coherence Protocol Optimized for Migratory Sharing
Parallel programs that use critical sections and are executed on a shared-memory multiprocessor with a writeinvalidate protocol result in invalidation actions that could be elimin...
