Using Reference Counters in Update-Based Coherent Memory
Abstract. As the disparity between processor and memory speed continues to widen, the exploitation of locality of reference in shared-memory multiprocessors becomes an increasingly...

Quantifying and reducing the effects of wrong-path memory references in cache-coherent multiprocessor systems
High-performance multiprocessor systems built around out-of-order processors with aggressive branch predictors execute many memory references that turn out to be on a mispredicted...

Using Prediction to Accelerate Coherence Protocols
Most large shared-memory multiprocessors use directory protocols to keep per-processor caches coherent. Some memory references in such systems, however, suffer long latencies for ...

Store-Ordered Streaming of Shared Memory
Coherence misses in shared-memory multiprocessors account for a substantial fraction of execution time in many important scientific and commercial workloads. Memory streaming prov...

Increasing the effectiveness of directory caches by deactivating coherence for private memory blocks
To meet the demand for more powerful high-performance shared-memory servers, multiprocessor systems must incorporate efficient and scalable cache coherence protocols, such as thos...
