Its main goal is to demonstrate that a slotted unidirectional ring with very fast point-to-point interconnections can be at least ten times faster than a shared ...

In a cache coherence system there are at least two types of messages,. i.e., probe message and block message, and the former is usually shorter than the latter.

Targets coherence between bus-based CMPs; Logical ring on message-passing interconnect; Protocol similar to GREEDY-ORDER. Uses a separate combined snoop ...

The snooping cache coherence protocol for the slotted ring, introduced in [1], is a write- invalidate write-back protocol, logically similar to an ownership- ...

The proposed architecture adopts a ring-map directory cache coherence scheme to avoid occupying too many rings during invalidation. Through performance ...

In this paper we evaluate the unidirectional slotted ring as an alternative to buses for cache-based multiprocessor systems with up to 64 processors and in the ...

Abstract. Most ring based multiprocessors built in the past have been based on unidirectional rings. Recently, bidirectional ring networks have been.

This work proposes to logically embed a ring in a point-to-point network topology to provide simple and competitive cache coherence protocol designs.
