Abstract: Caches enhance the performance of multiprocessors by reducing network traffic and average memory access latency. However, cache-based systems must address the problem of cache coherence. We propose the LimitLESS directory protocol to solve this problem. The LimitLESS scheme uses a combination of hardware and software techniques to realize the performance of a full-map directory with the memory overhead of a limited directory. This protocol is supported by Alewife, a large-scale multiprocessor.... (Update)
