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...
: The explosive growth of internet traffic and the increasing complexity of the functions performed by network nodes have given rise to a new breed of programmable micro-processors...
The goal of this paper is to gain insight into the relative performance of communication mechanisms as bisection bandwidth and network latency vary. We compare shared memory with ...

In this paper, we propose a novel hardware caching technique, called switch directory, to reduce the communication latency in CC-NUMA multiprocessors. The main idea is to implemen...
