— The fields of autonomics and system configuration share a common goal in decreasing the cost of ownership of large fabrics. In this paper we present a combined vision in whic...
Performance evaluation and reliability prediction are two important factors in the study of multiprocessor and cluster interconnects. One such interconnect is the Scalable Coheren...
In this paper we propose the OPTNET, a novel optical network and associated coherence protocol for scalable multiprocessors. The network divides its channels into broadcast and po...
Although directory-based cache coherence protocols are the best choice when designing chip multiprocessor architectures (CMPs) with tens of processor cores on chip, the memory ove...
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...
