This book was released on 2011-03-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many modern computer systems and most multicore chips (chip multiprocessors) support shared memory in hardware. In a shared memory system, each of the processor cores may read and write to a single shared address space. For a shared memory machine, the memory consistency model defines the architecturally visible behavior of its memory system. Consistency definitions provide rules about loads and stores (or memory reads and writes) and how they act upon memory. As part of supporting a memory consistency model, many machines also provide cache coherence protocols that ensure that multiple cached copies of data are kept up-to-date. The goal of this primer is to provide readers with a basic understanding of consistency and coherence. This understanding includes both the issues that must be solved as well as a variety of solutions. We present both highlevel concepts as well as specific, concrete examples from real-world systems.

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 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.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "This paper considers alternative directory protocols for providing cache coherence in shared-memory multiprocessors with 32 to 128 processors, where the state requirements of Dir[subscript N] may be considered too large. We consider Dir[subscript i]B, i = 1,2,4, Dir[subscript N], Tristate (also called superset), Coarse Vector, and three new protocols. The new protocols -- Gray-hardware, Gray-software, Home -- are optimizations of Tristate that use gray coding to favor near-neighbor sharing. Our results are the first to compare all these protocols with complete applications (and the first evaluation of Tristate with a non- synthetic workload). Results for three applications -- ocean (one dimensional sharing), appbt (three-dimensional sharing), and barnes (dynamic sharing) -- for 128 processors on the Wisconsin Wind Tunnel show that (a) Dir1B sends 15 to 43 times as many invalidation messages as Dir[subscript N], (b) Gray-software sends 1.0 to 4.7 times as many messages as Dir[subscript N], making it better than Tristate, Gray- Hardware, and Home, and (c) the choice between Dir[subscript i]B, Coarse Vector, and Gray-software depends on whether one wants to optimize for few sharers (Dir[subscript i]B), many sharers (Coarse Vector), or hedge one's bets between both alternatives (Gray-software)."
