Region-level Tracking for Scalable Directory Cache
Traditional coherence directories track sharing information at a cache-line granularity. In practice, however, as data sharing occurs at a coarser granularity in a large region of memory, common sharing patterns tend to be observed across multiple proximate lines. Hence, the directory entries for the lines replicate the same sharing information, resulting in inefficient use of space, power, and...

متن کاملSegment Directory Enhancing the Limited Directory Cache Coherence Schemes
We present a new arrangement of directory bits called the segment directory to improve directory storage efficiency: a segment directory can point to several sharing processors with almost the same number of bits as the pointer which can point to only one. Many directory overflows can be eliminated by using the segment directory element in place of the pointer in the limited directory schemes. ...
متن کاملCharacterization of a List-Based Directory Cache Coherence Protocol for Manycore CMPs
The development of efficient and scalable cache coherence protocols is a key aspect in the design of manycore chip multiprocessors. In this work, we review a kind of cache coherence protocols that, despite having been already implemented in the 90s for building large-scale commodity multiprocessors, have not been seriously considered in the current context of chip multiprocessors. In particular...
