An OS-based alternative to full hardware coherence on tiled CMPs
The interconnect mechanisms (shared bus or crossbar) used in current chip-multiprocessors (CMPs) are expected to become a bottleneck that prevents these architectures from scaling...

In-Network Snoop Ordering (INSO): Snoopy coherence on unordered interconnects
Realizing scalable cache coherence in the many-core era comes with a whole new set of constraints and opportunities. It is widely believed that multi-hop, unordered on-chip networ...

ScalableBulk: Scalable Cache Coherence for Atomic Blocks in a Lazy Environment
Recently-proposed architectures that continuously operate on atomic blocks of instructions (also called chunks) can boost the programmability and performance of shared-memory mult...

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 ...
