In this article, we will discuss about the Cache Coherence Problem and its different protocols in Computer Architecture. Submitted by Uma Dasgupta, on March 08, 2020 First of all, we will try to understand what cache coherence is? When multiple processors maintain a locally cached copy of a ...
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...
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...
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...
Cache Coherence文献综述 文献阅读背景 如何选择高速缓存一致性的解决方案一直以来都是设计共享存储器体系结构的关键问题。相对于维护高速缓存一致性而言,数据的传输也显得简单了。高速缓存一致性协议致力于保证每个处理器的数据一致性。一致性通常是在高速缓存总线或者网线上得到保证。高速缓存的缺失可以从内存中得到数据,除...
