In this work, we characterized the memory performance—and in particular the impact of coherence overhead and process migration—of a shared-bus shared-memory ...

Oct 22, 2024 · In this paper we review and qualitatively evaluate schemes to maintain cache coherence in tightly-coupled multiprocessor systems. This leads ...

A self-invalidation technique that speculatively identifies cache blocks to be invalidated and dynamically determines when to invalidate them locally is ...

The protocol is a robust hardware solution to the cache coherence problem. Messages may be addressed to any node in the system, but the protocol does not use ...

Several recent papers have explicitly or implicitly addressed the impact of task scheduling on multiprocessor memory system overhead, application performance,.

Abstract: Parallel programs that modify shared data in a cache-coherent multiprocessor with a write-invalidate coherence protocol create ownership overhead ...
