Ring interconnects may be an attractive solution for future chip multiprocessors because they can enable faster links than buses and simpler switches than arbitrary switched inter...
Although directory-based cache coherence protocols are the best choice when designing chip multiprocessor architectures (CMPs) with tens of processor cores on chip, the memory ove...
This paper introduces a cost-effective technique to deal with CMP coherence protocol requirements from the interconnection network point of view. A mechanism is presented to avoid...
Integrating more processor cores on-die has become the unanimous trend in the microprocessor industry. Most of the current research thrusts using chip multiprocessors (CMPs) as th...
