Recent efforts in adapting computer networks into system-on-chip (SOC), or network-on-chip, present a setback to the traditional computer systems for the lack of effective program...
Interconnect networks play a critical role in shared memory multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoC) designs. MPSoC performance and power consumption are greatly affected by the pac...
The aggressive evolution of the semiconductor industry — smaller process geometries, higher densities, and greater chip complexity — has provided design engineers the means to...
Although directory-based cache coherence protocols are the best choice when designing chip multiprocessor architectures (CMPs) with tens of processor cores on chip, the memory ove...
Although they have been the main server technology for many years, multiprocessors are undergoing a renaissance due to multi-core chips and the attractive scalability properties of...
