As technology continues to scale, the need for more sophisticated coherence management is becoming a necessity. The likely solution to this problem is the use of coherence hierarchies, analogous to how cache hierarchies have helped address the memory-wall problem in the past. Previous work in the construction of large-scale coherence protocols, however, demonstrates the complexity inherent to this design space.
