Accomplished by well-designed algorithms that keep track of every read and write event, cache coherency is even more critical in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) where memory is shared by multiple ...

A determining factor in how well these cores work together is cache coherency. We now look at how cores, caching, and coherency have evolved, why existing design practices often run into trouble at ...

One of the key challenges in chip multi-processing is to provide a programming model that manages cache coherency in a transparent and efficient way. A large number of applications designed for ...
