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. ...
Coherence本质上只需要per-block order, 但传统的snooping protocol保持total order, 这样可以更方便实现SC/TSO。 需要对coherence request进行serialization,各cache controller可能在发出请求后一段时间才能看到自己的请求被serialized; 而response无需遵守顺序,可以点对点发送。 7.2 Baseline Snooping Protocol 7.2.1 Protocol...
最实用、最有挑战性、最令人困惑的部分来了。我们现在有了变量x的 coherence,我们还需要什么呢? Cache Coherence 保证了单个 cache block 的 loads and stores 是按照定义运行的,但是我们假设有一个 produce-consume: // produce value <- 5 flag <- ok // consume wait until flag is ok -- 操作 value ...
of cache associated with each processor. This organization is essential to achieve reasonable performance. It does, however, create a problem known as the cache coherence problem. The essence of the problem is this: Multiple copies of the same data can exist in different caches simultaneously, and...
maintaining cache coherence among all of the cache controllers in a multiprocessor. A cache must recognize when a line that it holds is shared with other caches. When an update action is performed on a shared cache line, it must be announced ...
CACHE COHERENCE AND THE MESI PROTOCOL COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE DESIGNING FOR PERFORMANCE NINTH EDITION In contemporary multiprocessor systems, it is customary to have one or two levels of cache associated with each processor. This organization is essential to achieve...
Software Solutions CACHE COHERENCE AND THE MESI PROTOCOL COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE DESIGNING FOR PERFORMANCE NINTH EDITION Software cache coherence schemes attempt to avoid the need for additional hard- ware circuitry and logic by relying on the compiler and operating system to deal with...

Also, most of the compiler-directed coherence schemes proposed to date have not addressed the real cost of the required hardware support. For example, many of the schemes require expensive hardware support and assume a cache organization with single-word cache lines.This dissertation addresses these...
