A Cross-Architectural Interface for Code Cache Manipulation
Software code caches help amortize the overhead of dynamic binary transformation by enabling reuse of transformed code. Since code caches contain a potentiallyaltered copy of ever...

Direct Coherence: Bringing Together Performance and Scalability in Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
Traditional directory-based cache coherence protocols suffer from long-latency cache misses as a consequence of the indirection introduced by the home node, which must be accessed...
