Abstract: This paper evaluates the tradeoffs involved in the design of the software-extended memory system of Alewife, a multiprocessor architecture that implements coherentsharedmemory through a combination of hardware and software mechanisms. For each block of memory, Alewife implements between zero and five coherence directory pointers in hardwareand allows software to handle requests when the pointers are exhausted. The software includes a flexible coherence interface that facilitates protocol... (Update)
