A Novel Lightweight Directory Architecture for Scalable Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
There are two important hurdles that restrict the scalability of directory-based shared-memory multiprocessors: the directory memory overhead and the long L2 miss latencies due to ...

SCD: A scalable coherence directory with flexible sharer set encoding
Large-scale CMPs with hundreds of cores require a directory-based protocol to maintain cache coherence. However, previously proposed coherence directories are hard to scale beyond...

A tagless coherence directory
A key challenge in architecting a CMP with many cores is maintaining cache coherence in an efficient manner. Directory-based protocols avoid the bandwidth overhead of snoop-based ...

Simplifying Active Memory Clusters by Leveraging Directory Protocol Threads
Address re-mapping techniques in so-called active memory systems have been shown to dramatically increase the performance of applications with poor cache and/or communication beha...
