Download or read book No Inclusion in Multi Level Caches written by Bharath Vasudevan and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusive property in multi-level cache has been the norm in most processor architectures. Nevertheless, recent trends in cache implementations call for a reexamination of this issue. This thesis analyzes and evaluates the traditional inclusive scheme, no-inclusiON scheme and mutual exclusion scheme. Using a Simple Scalar-based simulation and the SPEC2000 benchmark, it is been shown that the no-inclusion scheme, one of the non-inclusion schemes, provides the best performance. Further the thesis proposes two techniques to optimize the no inclusion scheme by selectively writing back data from L1 to L2. The first optimization filters out stack data that are unlikely to be accessed again immediately, and the second one filters out non-stack data of poor temporal locality. The two techniques not only reduce the L1-L2 traffic but also improve the efficiency of L2 cache as a backup storage. The simulation results show that these optimizations may reduce the main memory accesses by up to 23% and improve the performance of the no-inclusion scheme by up to 9%.

Download or read book Shared Memory Multiprocessing written by Norihisa Suzuki and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shared memory multiprocessors are becoming the dominant architecture for small-scale parallel computation. This book is the first to provide a coherent review of current research in shared memory multiprocessing in the United States and Japan. It focuses particularly on scalable architecture that will be able to support hundreds of microprocessors as well as on efficient and economical ways of connecting these fast microprocessors. The 20 contributions are divided into sections covering the experience to date with multiprocessors, cache coherency, software systems, and examples of scalable shared memory multiprocessors.
Download or read book Computer Architecture written by John L. Hennessy and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2006-11-03 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The era of seemingly unlimited growth in processor performance is over: single chip architectures can no longer overcome the performance limitations imposed by the power they consume and the heat they generate. Today, Intel and other semiconductor firms are abandoning the single fast processor model in favor of multi-core microprocessors--chips that combine two or more processors in a single package. In the fourth edition of Computer Architecture, the authors focus on this historic shift, increasing their coverage of multiprocessors and exploring the most effective ways of achieving parallelism as the key to unlocking the power of multiple processor architectures. Additionally, the new edition has expanded and updated coverage of design topics beyond processor performance, including power, reliability, availability, and dependability.

Download or read book A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence written by Daniel J. Sorin and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 215 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. Table of Contents: Preface / Introduction to Consistency and Coherence / Coherence Basics / Memory Consistency Motivation and Sequential Consistency / Total Store Order and the x86 Memory Model / Relaxed Memory Consistency / Coherence Protocols / Snooping Coherence Protocols / Directory Coherence Protocols / Advanced Topics in Coherence / Author Biographies

This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many modern computer systems, including homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures, 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 high-level concepts as well as specific, concrete examples from real-world systems. This second edition reflects a decade of advancements since the first edition and includes, among other more modest changes, two new chapters: one on consistency and coherence for non-CPU accelerators (with a focus on GPUs) and one that points to formal work and tools on consistency and coherence.
Download or read book Analysis of Multi megabyte Secondary CPU Cache Memories written by R. E. Kessler and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the placement of pages in main memory also places data in the cache, a poor page placement will cause poor cache performance. This dissertation introduces several new careful page mapping algorithms to improve the page placement, and shows that they eliminate 10%-20% of the direct-mapped real-indexed cache misses for the long traces. In other words, this dissertation develops software techniques that can make a hardware direct-mapped cache appear about 50% larger."
