Software Cache Coherence for Large Scale Multiprocessors
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...

Software-Based Cache Coherence with Hardware-Assisted Selective Self-Invalidations Using Bloom Filters
— Implementing shared memory consistency models on top of hardware caches gives rise to the well-known cache coherence problem. The standard solution involves implementing cohere...

Adaptive Software Cache Management for Distributed Shared Memory Architectures
An adaptive cache coherence mechanism exploits semantic information about the expected or observed access behavior of particular data objects. We contend that, in distributed shar...

LimitLESS Directories: A Scalable Cache Coherence Scheme
Caches enhance the performance of multiprocessors by reducing network trac and average memory access latency. However, cache-based systems must address the problem of cache coher...
