Architectural Support for Block Transfers in a Shared-Memory Multiprocessor
This paper examines how the performance of a shared-memory multiprocessor can be improved by including hardware support for block transfers. A system similar to the Hector multipr...

Scalable Monitoring Technique for Detecting Races in Parallel Programs
Detecting races is important for debugging shared-memory parallel programs, because the races result in unintended nondeterministic executions of the programs. Previous on-the- y t...

An efficient cache design for scalable glueless shared-memory multiprocessors
Traditionally, cache coherence in large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors has been ensured by means of a distributed directory structure stored in main memory. In this way, the ...
