—We evaluate three extensions to directory-based cache coherence protocols in shared-memory multiprocessors. These extensions are aimed at reducing the penalties associated with ...
This paper introduces Strings, a high performance distributed shared memory system designed for clusters of symmetrical multiprocessors (SMPs). The distinguishing feature of this ...
