The bandwidth of the network (or memory) is the number of bytes transferred per second after the initial latency period. of these studies do not apply directly to scalable, network based machines however, which incorporate very different architectural tradeoffs. Other studies (e.g. [Dubnicki, 1993; Lee et al. 1987] have explored the relationship between block size and network bandwidth, but these studies either ignore one or more important factors (such as finite sized caches, or network contention) or assume a different architecture. We addressed these concerns in [Bianchini and ....

Can High Bandwidth and Latency Justify Large Cache Blocks.. - Bianchini, LeBlanc (1994) (1 citation) (Correct)
....and that explicit data prefetching encourages very small (4 byte) blocks. This study did not consider the dynamic sharing behavior of hardware cache coherence however, and therefore the performance of different cache block sizes on shared writable data could not be observed. Dubnicki [Dubnicki, 1993] explored the effect of changes in cache block size on the mean cost per reference as a function of latency and bandwidth. He showed that the range of block sizes that minimizes the mean cost per reference of an application suite shifts upward (within the range of block sizes considered) with an ....
