Integrating Cache Coherence Protocols for Heterogeneous Multiprocessor Systems, Part 2
September/October 2004 (vol. 24 no. 5)
pp. 70-78
Experiments with actual heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms on a shared-bus measure the effectiveness of two cache coherence techniques. This integration approach, snoop-hit buffer, and the accompanying region-based cache coherence approach yield significant speedups compared to a pure software solution.
