Abstract: We evaluate the performance impact of two different write--buffer configurations (one word per buffer entry and one block per buffer entry) and two different write--policies (write--through and write--back), when using the partial block invalidation coherence mechanism [3] in a shared--memory multiprocessor. Using an execution--driven simulator, we find that the one word per entry buffer configuration with a write--back policy is preferred for small write--buffer sizes when both buffers have an ...
