Abstract

Several protocols have been proposed in order to solve the cache coherence problem. In all cases, it is very difficult to understand how each algorithm works. The tool ToCCata has been designed and developed to graphically show the dynamic behavior of generic cache coherence algorithms. ToCCata can be used for pedagogical or demonstration purposes.
