Abstract: this paper, we examine the relationship between these factors in the context of large-scale, network-based, cache-coherent, shared-memory multiprocessors. Prompted by expected increases in interconnection network bandwidth (particularly with the use of optical networks), we consider whether or not increased bandwidth can be used to reduce the average cost of remote references through an increase in the cache block size. Larger cache blocks often result in reduced miss rates and, given... (Update)

...improvements seen by increasing the line size are progressively smaller for each increase. This is in agreement with the results in [11]. The exception to the above observations is mp3d under software coherence, where increases in line size hurt performance. The reason for this...

...(such as finite sized caches, or network contention) or assume a different architecture. We addressed these concerns in [Bianchini and LeBlanc, 1994], where we studied the relationship between cache block size and application performance as a function of remote access...
