Traditionally, cache coherence in large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors has been ensured by means of a distributed directory structure stored in main memory. In this way, the ...

Abstract. We propose new, tractably (in some cases provably) efficient algorithmic methods for exact (sound and complete) parameterized reasoning about cache coherence protocols. F...

Most large shared-memory multiprocessors use directory protocols to keep per-processor caches coherent. Some memory references in such systems, however, suffer long latencies for ...

This paper proposes a new coherence method called "multicast snooping" that dynamically adapts between broadcast snooping and a directory protocol. Multicast snooping is...
