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 ...

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 ...

The interconnect may include a directory or snoop filter, or it may broadcast snoops to all masters. Unlike early cache coherency protocols and systems (such as board-based MEI snoop coherency where ...
