Title
Exact Distributed Invalidation
Abstract
This paper develops and proves an exact distributed invalidation algorithm for programs with compile time decidable control-flow. We present an efficient constructive algorithm that globally combines locally gathered information to insert coherence calls in such a manner that eliminates all invalidation traffic without loss of locality and places the minimal number of coherence calls. Experimental results show that it outperforms existing compiler directed coherence techniques and hardware based memory consistency.
