There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Optimizing High Locality Memory References in Cache Coherent Shared Memory Multi-core Processors
Committee:

Abstract:
The objective of the proposed research is to identify and optimize two classes of high locality memory reference streams in the cache coherent shared memory multiprocessors. The underlying hypothesis is that modern cache coherent shared memory multiprocessors are optimized for accessing low-locality and moderately-shared memory objects. To achieve this goal, two different schemes are explored to minimize the shared memory abstraction overheads associated to those two target memory reference streams. This high-level approach ultimately aims at upgrading scalability of the large scale systems such as multi-socket cache coherent shared memory multi-processors, throughout improving performance.
