Exploiting Bandwidth to Reduce Average Memory Access Time in ScalableMultiprocessors

摘要

The overhead of remote memory accesses is a major impediment to achieving goodapplication performance on scalable shared-memory multiprocessors. This dissertation explores ways in which to exploit network and memory bandwidth in order to reduce the average cost of memory accesses. We consider scenarios (1) where the remote access cost is dominated by contention, and (2) where the
