The shared cache structures and snoop cache structures for single-chip multiprocessors are evaluated and compared using an instruction level simulator. Simulation results show that...
We introduce a fast and accurate technique for initializing the directory and cache state of a multiprocessor system based on a novel software structure called the memory timestam...

Caching techniques have been an efficient mechanism for mitigating the effects of the processor-memory speed gap. Traditional multi-level SRAM-based cache hierarchies, especially...
Caches enhance the performance of multiprocessors by reducing network trac and average memory access latency. However, cache-based systems must address the problem of cache coher...
Commercial applications are an important, yet often overlooked, workload with significantly different characteristics from technical workloads. The potential impact of these diffe...
