TN (United States) Oak Ridge National Lab., T Dunigan, USDOE, Washington, DC (United States) · 1994
Performance of the hierarchical shared-memory system of the Kendall Square Research multiprocessor is measured and characterized. The performance of prefetch is measured. Latency, bandwidth, and contention are analyzed on a 4-ring, 128 processor system. Scalability comparisons are made with other shared-memory and distributed-memory multiprocessors.
