Due to power and clocking constraints, integrating more processing cores onto a single chip, instead of increasing the frequency has become the norm in modern processor design. This …

In this chapter, we present snooping coherence protocols. Snooping protocols were the first widely-deployed class of protocols and they continue to be used in a variety of systems …
Los continuos avances en la escala de integración permiten reducir cada vez más el tamaño de los transistores y, por tanto, cada vez podemos encontrar chips con un mayor …
We design a 16-entry destination reorder buffer (DRB) that is used in timestamp snooping for Symmetric Multiprocessor (MSP) servers. The reorder buffer, as the interface between the …
Traditionally, cache coherence in largescale shared-memory multiprocessors has been ensured by means of a distributed directory structure stored in main memory. In this way, the …

The paper describes the use of a distributed group communication system to support consultation and collaboration among a group of people in a network of international …

Communication misses-those serviced by dirty data in remote caches-are a pressing performance limiter in shared-memory multiprocessors. Recent research has indicated that …
The relentless quest for processing speeds in the range of Teraflops and beyond has accelerated the need for scalable, parallel, High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems …
