The emerging three-dimensional (3D) chip architectures, with their intrinsic capability of reducing the wire length, is one of the promising solutions to mitigate the interconnect...
Processors with write-through caches typically require a write buffer to hide the write latency to the next level of memory hierarchy and to reduce write traffic. A write buffer ...
In chip multiprocessors (CMPs), data accesslatency dependson the memory hierarchy organization, the on-chip interconnect (NoC), and the running workload. Reducing data access late...
With the ability to place large numbers of transistors on a single silicon chip, manufacturers have begun developing chip multiprocessors (CMPs) containing multiple processor core...
In this paper, we propose a novel hardware caching technique, called switch directory, to reduce the communication latency in CC-NUMA multiprocessors. The main idea is to implemen...
