Boosting the performance of shared memory multiprocessors
Per Stenström, Mats Brorsson, Fredrik Dahlgren, Håkan Grahn, Michel Dubois · Computer · 1997
Proposed hardware optimizations to CC-NUMA machines-shared memory multiprocessors that use cache consistency protocols-can shorten the time processors lose because of cache misses and invalidations. The authors look at cost-performance trade-offs for each.
