The growing influence of wire delay in cache design has meant that access latencies to last-level cache banks are no longer constant. Non-Uniform Cache Architectures (NUCAs) have ...
The recent shift in the industry towards chip multiprocessor (CMP) designs has brought the need for multi-threaded applications to mainstream computing. As observed in several lim...
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...
