Snoopy cache coherence protocols broadcast requests to all nodes, reducing the latency of cache to cache transfer misses at the expense of increasing interconnect power. We propos...
To support dynamic address translation in today's microprocessors, the first-level cache is accessed in parallel with a translation lookaside buffer (TLB). However, this curre...
The SGI Origin 2000 is designedto support a wide range of applications and has low local and remote memory latencies. However, it often has a high ratio of remote to local misses....
By optimizing data layout at run-time, we can potentially enhance the performance of caches by actively creating spatial locality, facilitating prefetching, and avoiding cache con...
Conventional snoopy-based chip multiprocessors take an aggressive approach broadcasting snoop requests to all nodes. In addition each node checks all received requests. This appro...
