In this paper we propose the OPTNET, a novel optical network and associated coherence protocol for scalable multiprocessors. The network divides its channels into broadcast and po...
In this paper we propose the use of an optical network not only as the communication medium, but also as a system-wide cache for the shared data in a multiprocessor. More specifica...
— This paper reports on an experiment in network protocol design: we use novel rigorous techniques in the design process of a new protocol, in a close collaboration between syste...
