Many modern computer systems and most multicore chips (chip multiprocessors) support shared memory in hardware. In a shared memory system, each of the processor

Caches are frequently employed in memory systems, exploiting memory locality to gain advantages in high-speed performance and low latency. However, as computer

A key determinant of overall system performance and power dissipation is the cache hierarchy since access to off-chip memory consumes many more cycles and energ

Next generation multicore processors and applications will operate on massive data with significant sharing. A major challenge in their implementation is the st
