Many parallel systems offer a simple view of memory: all storage cells are addresseduniformly. Despite a uniform view of the memory, the machines differsignificantly in theirmemo...
—We evaluate three extensions to directory-based cache coherence protocols in shared-memory multiprocessors. These extensions are aimed at reducing the penalties associated with ...
Over the last decade, Message Passing Interface (MPI) has become a very successful parallel programming environment for distributed memory architectures such as clusters. However, ...
Efficient management of last level caches (LLCs) plays an important role in bridging the performance gap between processor cores and main memory. This paper is motivated by two key...
