A simple and low-cost approach to supporting snoopy cache coherence is to logically embed a unidirectional ring in the network of a multiprocessor, and use it to transfer snoop me...
Shared-memory provides a uniform and attractive mechanism for communication. For efficiency, it is often implemented with a layer of interpretive hardware on top of a message-pas...
The current generation of le systems are inadequate in facing the new technological challenges of wide area networks and massive storage. xFS is a prototype le system we are devel...
Directed test program-based verification or formal verification methods are usually quite ineffective on large cachecoherent, non-uniform memory access (CC-NUMA) multiprocessors b...
The aggressive evolution of the semiconductor industry — smaller process geometries, higher densities, and greater chip complexity — has provided design engineers the means to...
