A tuneable software cache coherence protocol for heterogeneous MPSoCs
In a multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) private caches introduce the cache coherence problem. Here, we target at heterogeneous MPSoCs with a network-on-chip (NoC). Existing har...

So Many States, So Little Time: Verifying Memory Coherence in the Cray X1
This paper investigates a complexity-effective technique for verifying a highly distributed directory-based cache coherence protocol. We develop a novel approach called “witnes...

Coherence decoupling: making use of incoherence
This paper explores a new technique called coherence decoupling, which breaks a traditional cache coherence protocol into two protocols: a Speculative Cache Lookup (SCL) protocol ...

In-Network Cache Coherence
With the trend towards increasing number of processor cores in future chip architectures, scalable directory-based protocols for maintaining cache coherence will be needed. Howeve...

A Low Overhead Fault Tolerant Coherence Protocol for CMP Architectures
It is widely accepted that transient failures will appear more frequently in chips designed in the near future due to several factors such as the increased integration scale. On t...

In-Network Snoop Ordering (INSO): Snoopy coherence on unordered interconnects
Realizing scalable cache coherence in the many-core era comes with a whole new set of constraints and opportunities. It is widely believed that multi-hop, unordered on-chip networ...

Using a formal specification and a model checker to monitor and direct simulation
We describe a technique for verifying that a hardware design correctly implements a protocol-level formal specification. Simulation steps are translated to protocol state transiti...
