Title
Reducing the Read-Miss Penalty for Flat COMA Protocols
Abstract
In flat cache-only memory architectures (COMA), an attraction-memory miss must first interrogate a directory before a copy of the requested data can be located, which often involves three network traversals. By keeping track of the identity of a potential holder of the copy–called a hint–one network traversal can be saved which reduces the read penalty. We have evaluated the reduction of the read-...
