Traditional directory-based cache coherence protocols suffer from long-latency cache misses as a consequence of the indirection introduced by the home node, which must be accessed...
Previous simulators for shared-memory architectures have imposed a large tradeoff between simulation accuracy and speed. Most such simulators model simple processors that do not e...
