A Simple Method for Parameterized Verification of Cache Coherence Protocols
Abstract. We present a simple method for verifying the safety properties of cache coherence protocols with arbitrarily many nodes. Our presentation begins with two examples. The fi...

Token tenure: PATCHing token counting using directory-based cache coherence
Traditional coherence protocols present a set of difficult tradeoffs: the reliance of snoopy protocols on broadcast and ordered interconnects limits their scalability, while dire...

Deriving Efficient Cache Coherence Protocols through Refinement
Abstract. We address the problem of developing efficient cache coherence protocols implementing distributed shared memory (DSM) using message passing. A serious drawback of traditi...

Dynamic Verification of Memory Consistency in Cache-Coherent Multithreaded Computer Architectures
—Multithreaded servers with cache-coherent shared memory are the dominant type of machines used to run critical network services and database management systems. To achieve the h...

Exact and Efficient Verification of Parameterized Cache Coherence Protocols
Abstract. We propose new, tractably (in some cases provably) efficient algorithmic methods for exact (sound and complete) parameterized reasoning about cache coherence protocols. F...
