ABSTRACT: Switch chips are building blocks for computer and communication systems. Switches need internal buffering, because of output contention; shared buffering is known to perf...
Most of today's multiprocessors have a DistributedShared Memory (DSM) organization, which enables scalability while retaining the convenience of the shared-memory programming...

Abstract—Sharing patterns in shared-memory multiprocessors are the key to performance: uniprocessor latencytolerating techniques such as out-of-order execution and non-blocking c...
There are two important hurdles that restrict the scalability of directory-based shared-memory multiprocessors: the directory memory overhead and the long L2 miss latencies due to ...
Most recovery schemes that have been proposed for Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems require unnecessarily high checkpointing frequency and checkpoint traffic, which are sens...
