This paper presents CMP Cooperative Caching, a unified framework to manage a CMP’s aggregate on-chip cache resources. Cooperative caching combines the strengths of private and ...
In cache based multiprocessors a protocol must maintain coherence among replicated copies of shared writable data. In delayed consistency protocols the effect of out-going and in-...
Dynamic optimization systems store optimized or translated code in a software-managed code cache in order to maximize reuse of transformed code. Code caches store superblocks that...
