In this work we reduce interconnect power dissipation in Symmetric Multiprocessors or SMPs. We revisit snoopy cache coherence protocols and reduce unnecessary interconnect activit...
Abstract— Shared memory is a common inter-processor communication paradigm for on-chip multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC) platforms. The latency overhead of switch-based interconnection ...
As FPGA-based systems including soft-processors become increasingly common we are motivated to better understand the best way to scale the performance of such systems. In this pap...

This paper presents a two-part study on managing distributed NUCA (Non-Uniform Cache Architecture) L2 caches in a future manycore processor to obtain high singlethread program per...
On-chip multiprocessor can be an alternative to the wide-issue superscalar processor approach which is currently the mainstream to exploit the increasing number of transistors on ...
