Software Cache Coherence for Large Scale Multiprocessors
Shared memory is an appealing abstraction for parallel programming. It must be implemented with caches in order toperform well, however, and caches require a coherence mechanism t...

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...

Using Prediction to Accelerate Coherence Protocols
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 ...

Speculative supplier identification for reducing power of interconnects in snoopy cache coherence protocols
In this work we reduce interconnect power dissipation in Symmetric Multiprocessors or SMPs. We revisit snoopy cache coherence protocols and reduce unnecessary interconnect activit...

Supporting Cache Coherence in Heterogeneous Multiprocessor Systems
In embedded system-on-a-chip (SoC) applications, the need for integrating heterogeneous processors in a single chip is increasing. An important issue in integrating heterogeneous ...
