We describe a simulator which emulates the activity of a shared memory, common bus
multiprocessor system with private caches. Both kernel and user program activities are …

Improving performance and scalability in shared-memory multiprocessors requires an
appropriate solution to the well-known cache coherence problem. Hardware schemes …

This book lays out the concepts necessary to understand how a computer works. For
reasons of clarity, the authors have deliberately chosen examples that apply to machines …

In high-performance general-purpose workstations and servers, the workload can be
typically constituted of both sequential and parallel applications. Shared-bus shared …

Caching has been widely used in many diverse computer applications to improve
performance. Although these applications often utilize diverse platforms due to their inherent …

We present an educational software package (Cachesim) used as a teaching tool for
studying and analysing computers with cache memories. Cachesim allows students to …

The infrastructure to support electronic commerce is one of the areas where more
processing power is needed. A multiprocessor system can offer advantages for running …

Traditionally, in the field of embedded systems low power consumption and low cost have
been always regarded as stringent specification constraints. In recent years, high …

(57) ABSTRACT A cache control circuit reduces the number of accesses to main memory in
a multiprocessing system. The circuit allows a cache memory associated with one Central …

The performance of an electronic commerce server, ie a system running electronic
commerce applications is evaluated in the case of shared-bus multiprocessor architecture …
