Impact of Switch Design on the Application Performance of Cache-Coherent Multiprocessors
In this paper, the effect of switch design on the application performance of cache-coherent non-uniform memory access (CC-NUMA) multiprocessors is studied in detail. Wormhole rout...

An OS-based alternative to full hardware coherence on tiled CMPs
The interconnect mechanisms (shared bus or crossbar) used in current chip-multiprocessors (CMPs) are expected to become a bottleneck that prevents these architectures from scaling...
