Traditional list schedulers order instructions based on an optimistic estimate of the load latency imposed by the hardware and therefore cannot respond to variations in memory lat...
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...
