In this work we reduce interconnect power dissipation in Symmetric Multiprocessors or SMPs. We revisit snoopy cache coherence protocols and reduce unnecessary interconnect activit...
It has been shown that many requests miss in all remote nodes in shared memory multiprocessors. We are motivated by the observation that this behavior extends to much coarser grai...
In order to reduce the overhead of synchronizing operations of shared memory multiprocessors, this paper proposes a mechanism, named specMEM, to execute memory accesses following ...
OpenMP has emerged as a widely accepted standard for writing shared memory programs. Hardware-specific extensions such as data placement are usually needed to improve the scalabi...
Two broad classes of memory models are available today: models with hardware cache coherence, used in conventional chip multiprocessors, and models that rely upon software to mana...
