In this paper we propose the use of an optical network not only as the communication medium, but also as a system-wide cache for the shared data in a multiprocessor. More specifica...
Shared memory multiprocessors play an increasingly important role in enterprise and scientific computing facilities. Remote misses limit the performance of shared memory applicat...
Multiprocessors require an interconnection network to connect processors with memory modules. The performance of the interconnection network can have a large effect upon overall s...
This paper presents a modeling method particularly suited to analyze interactions between Message Passing Interface MPI library execution and distributed cache coherence protocol....
—We evaluate three extensions to directory-based cache coherence protocols in shared-memory multiprocessors. These extensions are aimed at reducing the penalties associated with ...
