Dynamic Self-Invalidation: Reducing Coherence Overhead in Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
This paper introduces dynamic self-invalidation (DSI), a new technique for reducing cache coherence overhead in shared-memory multiprocessors. DSI eliminates invalidation messages...

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...

Using Lamport Clocks to Reason about Relaxed Memory Models
Cache coherence protocols of current shared-memory multiprocessors are difficult to verify. Our previous work proposed an extension of Lamport's logical clocks for showing th...

NWCache: Optimizing Disk Accesses via an Optical Network/Write Cache Hybrid
In this paper we propose a simple extension to the I/O architecture of scalable multiprocessors that optimizes page swap-outs significantly. More specifically, we propose the use o...
