The prevalence of multicore architectures has accentuated the need for scalable cache
coherence solutions. Many of the proposed designs use a mix of 1-to-1, 1-to-many (1-to-M) …

As the number of cores on a single-chip grows, scalable barrier synchronization becomes
increasingly difficult to implement. In software implementations, such as the tournament …

A lot of research and development have been done on producing Chinese fonts with smooth
outlines and solid colouring for computer displays and printing. Existing Chinese fonts …

In the multicore era, on-chip network latency and throughput have a direct impact on system
performance. A highly important class of communication flows traversing the network is …

Barrier synchronisation is a widely-studied topic since the supercomputer era due to its
significant impact on the overall performance of parallel applications. With the current shift to …

Growth in core count creates an increasing demand for interconnect bandwidth, driving a
change from shared buses to packet-switched on-chip interconnects. However, this …

Barrier synchronization, an essential mechanism for a block of threads to guard data
consistency, is regarded as a threat to performance. This study, however, provides a …

Sharing data among asynchronous processes is considered to be a hard systems problem
in multithreaded modern shared-memory multicore systems. Throughout the literature …

Adding multiple processing cores on the same chip has become the de facto design choice
as we continue extracting more and more performance/watt from our chips in every …

Directory-based coherence protocols (Directory) are considered the design of choice to
provide maximum performance in coherence maintenance for shared-memory many-core …
