Shared-memory multiprocessor systems use private (or per processor) caches to enhance system performance by reducing average memory access time. In-cache modification of shared data in such systems leads to a d

Chip multiprocessor (CMP) systems rely on a cache coherence protocol to maintain data coherence between local caches and main memory. The traditional protocols adopted are based either on data invalidation or on data update policies. However, these strategies do not consider the changes in the data...
即使在多核处理器中,也可以套用这些Cache coherence protocol,只不过global bus的另一侧从内存变成了shared Last Level Cache。下面来看看它的implementation: 1. on write through cache HI P319 考虑一个简单的write through、no write-allocate的cache,对cacheline的任何改写操作都会立即被写回内存。假设系统中有两...
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...
Coherence defines the behavior of reads and writes to a single address location. A kind of data that appears in different caches at the same time is called cache coherence, which is called global memory in some systems. In a multi-processor system, consider that more than one processor has...

MESI is a very common cache coherence protocol used in multiprocessor designs, including Intel architectures, ARM11™, and ARM Cortex-A9 MPCores. Bus Addresses Externally attached devices are typically attached through a bus, usually PCIe or expansion bus interfaces. These external buses most often...
Cache coherence is a useful mechanism in multiple processor systems to provide a shared memory abstraction to the programmer. When multiple processor cores cache a given shared memory location, a cache coherence problem arises because a copy of the same memory location exists in multiple caches. A...
