Book excerpt: Cache And Interconnect Architectures In Multiprocessors Eilat, Israel May 25-261989 Michel Dubois UniversityofSouthernCalifornia Shreekant S. Thakkar SequentComputerSystems The aim of the workshop was to bring together researchers working on cache coherence protocols for shared-memory multiprocessors with various interconnect architectures. Shared-memory multiprocessors have become viable systems for many applications. Bus based shared-memory systems (Eg. Sequent's Symmetry, Encore's Multimax) are currently limited to 32 processors. The fIrst goal of the workshop was to learn about the performance ofapplications on current cache-based systems. The second goal was to learn about new network architectures and protocols for future scalable systems. These protocols and interconnects would allow shared-memory architectures to scale beyond current imitations. The workshop had 20 speakers who talked about their current research. The discussions were lively and cordial enough to keep the participants away from the wonderful sand and sun for two days. The participants got to know each other well and were able to share their thoughts in an informal manner. The workshop was organized into several sessions. The summary of each session is described below. This book presents revisions of some of the papers presented at the workshop.

Download or read book Reducing Memory Access Delays in Large-scale Shared-memory Multiprocessors written by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Center for Supercomputing Research and Development and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memory access time is a key factor limiting the performance of large-scale, shared-memory multiprocessors. In such systems, limited bandwidth in the interconnection between the processors and the memories, coupled with long delays resulting from network and memory conflicts, can produce serious memory access delays. Incorporating memory hierarchies and asynchronous block transfer mechanisms are common methods for reducing these delays. However, for these two mechanisms to be wed advantageously, they must be managed effectively, either in hardware or in software. Although this memory management problem is becoming increasingly important, good techniques are still lacking. The problem of reducing memory access delays can be attacked at several levels. The first is to attempt to improve the performance of the shared-memory system itself, where the shared-memory system includes implicitly both the network and the memory modules themselves. The second is to develop techniques to manage the memory hierarchy more effectively and to make use of the block transfer mechanisms. This thesis addresses this problem at both of these levels. The first part examines the behavior of a realistic shared-memory system and evaluates cost-effective hardware modifications for improving this balance. An additional goal is to achieve memory system scalability, where the term scalable describes systems whose per-processor performance is roughly constant across the range of system sizes examined. The remainder of this thesis addresses the problem of improving utilization of local storage in shared-memory systems where, at the very least, each processor has access to local (private) storage in addition to the global (shared) memory. A combined flow-and-dependence analysis algorithm is developed which produces the analytical information needed to optimize data accesses. It is shown how this information can be used as part of an intergrated hardware/software approach to eliminating redundant (unnecessary) memory accesses and prefetching data.

This book was released on 2011-03-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many modern computer systems and most multicore chips (chip multiprocessors) support shared memory in hardware. In a shared memory system, each of the processor cores may read and write to a single shared address space. For a shared memory machine, the memory consistency model defines the architecturally visible behavior of its memory system. Consistency definitions provide rules about loads and stores (or memory reads and writes) and how they act upon memory. As part of supporting a memory consistency model, many machines also provide cache coherence protocols that ensure that multiple cached copies of data are kept up-to-date. The goal of this primer is to provide readers with a basic understanding of consistency and coherence. This understanding includes both the issues that must be solved as well as a variety of solutions. We present both highlevel concepts as well as specific, concrete examples from real-world systems.

Download or read book Multi-Core Cache Hierarchies written by Rajeev Balasubramonian and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key determinant of overall system performance and power dissipation is the cache hierarchy since access to off-chip memory consumes many more cycles and energy than on-chip accesses. In addition, multi-core processors are expected to place ever higher bandwidth demands on the memory system. All these issues make it important to avoid off-chip memory access by improving the efficiency of the on-chip cache. Future multi-core processors will have many large cache banks connected by a network and shared by many cores. Hence, many important problems must be solved: cache resources must be allocated across many cores, data must be placed in cache banks that are near the accessing core, and the most important data must be identified for retention. Finally, difficulties in scaling existing technologies require adapting to and exploiting new technology constraints. The book attempts a synthesis of recent cache research that has focused on innovations for multi-core processors. It is an excellent starting point for early-stage graduate students, researchers, and practitioners who wish to understand the landscape of recent cache research. The book is suitable as a reference for advanced computer architecture classes as well as for experienced researchers and VLSI engineers.

Book excerpt: Abstract: "Large-scale multiprocessors suffer from long latencies for remote accesses. Caching is by far the most popular technique for hiding such delays. Caching not only hides the delay, but also decreases the network load. Cache-Only Memory Architectures (COMA), have no physically shared memory. Instead, all the memory resources are invested in caches, resulting in caches of the largest possible size. A datum has no home, and is moved by a protocol between the caches, according to its usage. It might exist in multiple caches. Even though no shared memory exists, the architecture still provides the shared memory view to a programmer. Simulation results from large programs running on 64 processors indicate that the COMA adapts well to existing programs for shared memory. They also show that an application with a poor locality can benefit by adopting to the COMA principle of no home for data, resulting in a reduced execution time of a factor three. In a COMA, a large majority of the misses are invalidation misses, or share misses caused by write-once/read-many behavior, or a producer-consumer relation, i.e. would benefit from write broadcast. A new protocol is proposed that behaves like a write-invalidate protocol by default for all data. A reader can detect its need for a write-broadcast behavior for a datum, which it enables by sending a subscribe request for the datum to the writer."

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The workshop on Scalable Shared Memory Multiprocessors took place on May 26 and 27 1990 at the Stouffer Madison Hotel in Seattle, Washington as a prelude to the 1990 International Symposium on Computer Architecture. About 100 participants listened for two days to the presentations of 22 invited The motivation for this workshop was to speakers, from academia and industry. promote the free exchange of ideas among researchers working on shared-memory multiprocessor architectures. There was ample opportunity to argue with speakers, and certainly participants did not refrain a bit from doing so. Clearly, the problem of scalability in shared-memory multiprocessors is still a wide-open question. We were even unable to agree on a definition of "scalability". Authors had more than six months to prepare their manuscript, and therefore the papers included in this proceedings are refinements of the speakers' presentations, based on the criticisms received at the workshop. As a result, 17 authors contributed to these proceedings. We wish to thank them for their diligence and care. The contributions in these proceedings can be partitioned into four categories 1. Access Order and Synchronization 2. Performance 3. Cache Protocols and Architectures 4. Distributed Shared Memory Particular topics on which new ideas and results are presented in these proceedings include: efficient schemes for combining networks, formal specification of shared memory models, correctness of trace-driven simulations,synchronization, various coherence protocols, .

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we continue to build faster and fast. er computers, their performance is be coming increasingly dependent on the memory hierarchy. Both the clock speed of the machine and its throughput per clock depend heavily on the memory hierarchy. The time to complet. e a cache acce88 is oft. en the factor that det. er mines the cycle time. The effectiveness of the hierarchy in keeping the average cost of a reference down has a major impact on how close the sustained per formance is to the peak performance. Small changes in the performance of the memory hierarchy cause large changes in overall system performance. The strong growth of ruse machines, whose performance is more tightly coupled to the memory hierarchy, has created increasing demand for high performance memory systems. This trend is likely to accelerate: the improvements in main memory performance will be small compared to the improvements in processor performance. This difference will lead to an increasing gap between prOCe880r cycle time and main memory acce. time. This gap must be closed by improving the memory hierarchy. Computer architects have attacked this gap by designing machines with cache sizes an order of magnitude larger than those appearing five years ago. Microproce880r-based RISe systems now have caches that rival the size of those in mainframes and supercomputers.

Download or read book A Shared Memory Multiprocessor System Architecture Utilizing a Uniformly Shared Level 2 Data-only Cache written by Frank Casilio and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is believed that Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) systems will be the next mainstream computer. While they can offer a substantial performance increase compared to uniprocessor systems, major design considerations must be addressed to achieve desired system efficiency levels. Managing cache coherence is a significant problem in multiprocessor systems. This thesis approaches the cache coherence problem from a new angle. Instead of utilizing a cache coherence protocol, a new memory system is proposed which eliminates the need for a cache coherence protocol, by utilizing a shared level 2 data-only cache. This allows for better utilization and improved performance and scalability.
