This paper explores area/parallelism tradeo s in the design of distributed shared-memory (DSM) multiprocessors built out of large single-chip computing nodes. In this context, are...
As Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) has become the mainstream in processor architectures, Intel and AMD have introduced their dual-core processors to the PC market. In this paper, perfor...

In this paper, we present a hierarchical Data Cache Architecture called DCA to effectively slash local interconnect traffic and thus boost the storage server performance. DCA is ...
This paper evaluates the tradeoffs involved in the design of the software-extended memory system of Alewife, a multiprocessor architecturethat implements coherentsharedmemorythrou...
Modern cache designs exploit spatial locality by fetching large blocks of data called cache lines on a cache miss. Subsequent references to words within the same cache line result...
