Reducing Coherence Overhead in Shared-Bus Multiprocessors
To reduce the overhead of cache coherence enforcement in shared-bus multiprocessors, we propose a self-invalidation technique as an extension to write-invalidate protocols. The technique speculatively identi es cache blocks to be invalidated and dynamically determines when to invalidate them locally. We also consider enhancing our selfinvalidation scheme by incorporating read snar ng, to reduce...
متن کاملBus-Based COMA - Reducing Traffic in Shared-Bus Multiprocessors
A problem with bus-based shared-memory multiprocessors is that the shared bus rapidly becomes a bottleneck in the machine, effectively limiting the machine size to somewhere between ten and twenty processors. We propose a new architecture, the Bus-Based COMA (BB-COMA) that addresses this problem. Compared to the standard UMA architecture, the BB-COMA has lower requirements on bus bandwidth. We ...
متن کاملOptimal Design of Megabyte Second-Level Caches for Minimizing Bus Traffic in Shared-Memory Shared-Bus Multiprocessors
As the design of shared-memory sharedbus multiprocessors is heading toward employing megabyte second-level caches, how to optimize the design of the second-level caches in order to minimize the traffic on the shared memory bus and thus improve system scalability is of great interest. This paper presents a comprehensive study on this issue through extensive trace-driven simulation. The simulatio...
متن کاملA Workload Generation Environment for Trace-Driven Simulation of Shared-Bus Multiprocessors
We describe an environment to produce traces representing significant workloads for a shared-bus shared-memory multiprocessor used as a general-purpose multitasking machine, where each processor can include multithread facilities. By means of an exclusively software approach, the environment produces traces that include both user and kernel references, starting from source traces containing onl...
متن کاملPSCR: A Coherence Protocol for Eliminating Passive Sharing in Shared-Bus Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
ÐIn high-performance general-purpose workstations and servers, the workload can be typically constituted of both sequential and parallel applications. Shared-bus shared-memory multiprocessor can be used to speed-up the execution of such workload. In this environment, the scheduler takes care of the load balancing by allocating a ready process on the first available processor, thus producing pro...
