Toward a Coherent Multicore Memory Model.

With exascale multicores, the question of how to efficiently support a shared memory model is of paramount importance. As programmers demand the convenience of coherent shared memory, ever-growing core counts place higher demands on memory subsystems, and increasing on-chip distances mean that inter...

Sumario:With exascale multicores, the question of how to efficiently support a shared memory model is of paramount importance. As programmers demand the convenience of coherent shared memory, ever-growing core counts place higher demands on memory subsystems, and increasing on-chip distances mean that interconnect delays exert a significant effect on memory access latencies.
