Clusters of SMPs are becoming increasingly common. However, the shared memory design of SMPs and the consequential contention between system processors for access to main memory c...
It is widely known that parallel operation execution in multiprocessor systems generates a respective increase in memory accesses. Since the memory and bus subsystems provide a li...
