In this article, we will discuss about the Cache Coherence Problem and its different protocols in Computer Architecture.
Cache coherence schemes help to avoid this problem by maintaining a uniform state for each cached block of data.Let X be an element of shared data which has been referenced by two processors, P1 and P2. In the beginning, three copies of X are consistent. If the processor P1 writes ...
Coherence Protocols What Is Cache Coherence? To begin with, what is cache coherence? In computer architecture, cache consistency is the unity of shared resource data, and the resource is ultimately stored in multiple local caches. When the client in the system maintains caches of common memory re...
Cache consistency in computer architecture refers to the contract between the programmer and the memory system regarding the synchronization and ordering of memory operations in a cache-coherence scheme. It is different from the concept of cache coherence and consistency models. ...
Memory Models for Embedded Multicore Architecture Cache coherency Multicore systems may have several levels of memory cache as shown in Figure 4.8. To maintain consistency and validation of data, cache coherence protocols, provided by the processor, must be used. For example, consider the situation...

Directory-based coherence: In a directory-based system, the data being shared is placed in a common directory that maintains the coherence between caches. The directory acts as a filter through which the processor must ask permission to load an entry from the primary memory to its cache. When...
在本章中,我们介绍目录一致性协议 (directory coherence protocol)。 最初开发目录协议是为了解决监听协议缺乏可扩展性的问题。 传统的监听系统在一个完全有序的互连网络上广播所有请求,并且所有请求都被所有一致性控制器监听。 相比之下,目录协议使用一定程度的间接性来避免有序广播网络和让每个缓存控制器处理每个请求...
