In this paper, we analyze the benefits and problems associated with the buffering of memory requests in shared memory multiprocessors. We show that the logical ...

In highly-pipelined machines, instructions and data are prefetched and buffered in both the processor and the cache. This is done to reduce the average ...

In a shared memory multiprocessor, there are more advantages in buffering memory requests, since each memory access has to traverse the memory- processor ...

The results show that in an environment where processor reads are blocking and writes are buffered, a significant performance increase is achieved from ...

Thread-level speculation provides architectural support to ag- gressively run hard-to-analyze code in parallel. As speculative.

Request buffer holds state associated with each memory request (e.g. the address, type, identifier, age of the request, readiness, completion status). It can ...

Buffering and pipelining are attractive techniques for hiding the latency of memory accesses in large scale shared-memory multi- processors. However, the ...

Abstract. DRAM memory is a major resource shared among cores in a chip multiprocessor (CMP) system. Memory requests from different threads.

Store misses cause significant delays in shared-memory multiprocessors because of limited store buffering and ordering constraints required for proper ...
