A fundamentally new approach to cache coherence has been released -- the first in more than three decades. Whereas with existing techniques, the directory's memory allotment increases in direct ...

The past decade or so has seen some really phenomenal capacity growth and similarly remarkable software technology in support of distributed-memory systems. When work can be spread out across a lot of ...

Moreover, cache coherence is an especially important protocol to verify. A cache-coherence bug could result in a silent data corruption that would disrupt system functionality. A formal tool for ...

Open Core Protocol (OCP) [1][2] is a common standard for Intellectual Property (IP)core interfaces. OCP facilitates IP core plug-and-play and simplifies reuse by decoupling the cores from the on-chip ...

Machine learning and artificial intelligence systems are driving the need for systems-on-chip containing tens or even hundreds of heterogeneous processing cores. As these systems expand in size and ...

ASP.NET has become a highly popular technology for developing Web applications. A large number of these ASP.NET applications need to scale to accommodate the growing number of transactions and traffic ...

In the intricate world of modern chip architectures, the “memory wall” – the limitations posed by external DRAM accesses on performance and power consumption growing slower than the ability to compute ...

Distributed caches are used to improve the performance and scalability of applications. Typically, a distributed cache is shared by multiple application servers. In a distributed cache, the cached ...
