TLDR
Cache memory organization for parallel-pipelined multiprocessor systems is evaluated and a shared cache is evaluated, which can attain a higher hit ratio and suffers performance degradation due to access conflicts.
Abstract
Cache memory organization for parallel-pipelined multiprocessor systems is evaluated. Private caches have a cache coherence problem. A shared cache avoids this problem and can attain a higher hit ratio due to sharing of single copies of common blocks and dynamic allocation of cache space among the processes. However, a shared cache suffers performance degradation due to access conflicts.

A low-overhead coherence solution for multiprocessors with private cache memories

TL;DR: This paper presents a cache coherence solution for multiprocessors organized around a single time-shared bus that aims at reducing bus traffic and hence bus wait time and increases the overall processor utilization.

Parallel Supercomputing Today and the Cedar Approach (並列処理ハ-ドウェアと言語特集)

David J. Kuck
TL;DR: The Cedar supercomputer as discussed by the authors uses advanced system and applications developed at the University of Illinois during the past 12 years, which should allow the number of processors in Cedar to be doubled annually, providing rapid performance advances in the next decade.

Digital computer with cache capable of concurrently handling multiple accesses from parallel processors

TL;DR: A cache memory capable of concurrently accepting and working on completion of more than one cache access from a plurality of processors connected in parallel is discussed in this paper. But the work in this paper is restricted to the case of a single processor.

A study of replacement algorithms for a virtual-storage computer

TL;DR: One of the basic limitations of a digital computer is the size of its available memory; an approach that permits the programmer to use a sufficiently large address range can accomplish this objective, assuming that means are provided for automatic execution of the memory-overlay functions.

A New Solution to Coherence Problems in Multicache Systems

TL;DR: A memory hierarchy has coherence problems as soon as one of its levels is split in several independent units which are not equally accessible from faster levels or processors.

Structural aspects of the system/360 model 85: II the cache

J. S. Liptay
- 01 Mar 1968 - 
TL;DR: The cache, a high-speed buffer establishing a storage hierarchy in the Model 85, is discussed in depth in this part, since it represents the basic organizational departure from other SYSTEM/360 computers.
