Protocols play critical roles in computer systems today, including managing resources,
facilitating communication, and coordinating actions of components. It is highly desirable to …

Commercial databases run on multiprocessor systems exhibit particularly high levels of false
data sharing resulting from the low cache coherency present in such systems. These …

Performance growth of single processor systems recently stalled because of power and heat
problems associated with increasing the clock frequency. In order to continue to deliver a …

Existing shared-memory multicore processors utilizing snoopy coherence, explicitly require
ordering of requests to maintain memory consistency semantics. Unfortunately ordered …

Abstract Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been shown to be effective at achieving
large speedups over contemporary chip multiprocessors (CMPs) on massively parallel …

El propósito de este proyecto es diseñar y evaluar por medio de simulación una nueva
estructura de directorio más escalable que los esquemas de caché de directorio …

This chapter presents a distributed program that implements the distributed lock service in
Chap. 11 over a fifo channel. It first solves a “distributed request scheduling” problem using …

Continuous improvements in image and video processing require high computational power
to deal with the increasing complexity of algorithms and higher definition video. Meanwhile …

The implementation of multiple processors on a single chip has been made possible with
advancements in process technology. The benefits of having multiple cores on a single chip …

A number of limit studies have concluded that there exists a large amount of Instruction
Level Parallelism (ILP factors of 10 or more) in typical integer codes (eg, SPEC). However …
