An Application-Tailored Approach to Hardware Cache Coherence
Arrvindh Shriraman, Hongzhou Zhao, Sandhya Dwarkadas · Computer · 2013
Leveraging the computational power of the increasingly large core counts on a single chip requires scalable designs for cache coherence. The application-tailored approach eliminates redundancy in metadata storage and matches traffic to inherent application access and sharing behavior to allow scalability.
