This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we continue to build faster and fast. er computers, their performance is be coming increasingly dependent on the memory hierarchy. Both the clock speed of the machine and its throughput per clock depend heavily on the memory hierarchy. The time to complet. e a cache acce88 is oft. en the factor that det. er mines the cycle time. The effectiveness of the hierarchy in keeping the average cost of a reference down has a major impact on how close the sustained per formance is to the peak performance. Small changes in the performance of the memory hierarchy cause large changes in overall system performance. The strong growth of ruse machines, whose performance is more tightly coupled to the memory hierarchy, has created increasing demand for high performance memory systems. This trend is likely to accelerate: the improvements in main memory performance will be small compared to the improvements in processor performance. This difference will lead to an increasing gap between prOCe880r cycle time and main memory acce. time. This gap must be closed by improving the memory hierarchy. Computer architects have attacked this gap by designing machines with cache sizes an order of magnitude larger than those appearing five years ago. Microproce880r-based RISe systems now have caches that rival the size of those in mainframes and supercomputers.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overall, this work demonstrates that update-based protocols can be used not only as a coherence mechanism, but also as a latency reducing and tolerating technique to improve the performance of a set of fine-grain scientific applications. But as with other latency reducing techniques, such as data prefetch, the technique must be used with an understanding of its consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effective and efficient use of the memory hierarchy of the computer system is one of the, if not the single most important aspect of computer system design and use. Cache memory performance is often the limiting factor in CPU performance and cache memories also serve to cut the memory traffic in multiprocessor systems. Multiprocessor systems are also requiring advances in cache architecture with respect to cache consistency. Similarly, the study of the best means to share main memory is an important research topic. Disk cache is becoming important for performance in high end computer systems and is now widely available commercially; there are many related research problems. The development of mass storage, especially optical disk, will promote research in effective algorithms for file management and migration. In this paper, we look at each component of the memory hierarchy and address two issues: what are likely directions for development, and what are the interesting research problems.

Book excerpt: Cache And Interconnect Architectures In Multiprocessors Eilat, Israel May 25-261989 Michel Dubois UniversityofSouthernCalifornia Shreekant S. Thakkar SequentComputerSystems The aim of the workshop was to bring together researchers working on cache coherence protocols for shared-memory multiprocessors with various interconnect architectures. Shared-memory multiprocessors have become viable systems for many applications. Bus based shared-memory systems (Eg. Sequent's Symmetry, Encore's Multimax) are currently limited to 32 processors. The fIrst goal of the workshop was to learn about the performance ofapplications on current cache-based systems. The second goal was to learn about new network architectures and protocols for future scalable systems. These protocols and interconnects would allow shared-memory architectures to scale beyond current imitations. The workshop had 20 speakers who talked about their current research. The discussions were lively and cordial enough to keep the participants away from the wonderful sand and sun for two days. The participants got to know each other well and were able to share their thoughts in an informal manner. The workshop was organized into several sessions. The summary of each session is described below. This book presents revisions of some of the papers presented at the workshop.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "This simulation-based study examines the behavior of a realistic shared-memory multiprocessor system that utilizes Omega networks. A unique aspect is the presence of bursts of requests, such as processors with associated vector units or caches would generate. It is demonstrated that the forward network, the memory modules, and the reverse network of such a system interact and affect each other's performance such that good performance depends less on the speed of any one component than on the interaction between them. Cost-effective modifications for improving this balance are evaluated. Within the range of system sizes studied (32 to 512 processors), results show that MIN-based systems that operate close to their peak memory bandwidth can indeed be constructed."
