Abstract

In bus-based SMPs, cache misses and bus traffic form key obstacles to high performance. To overcome these problems, several techniques have been proposed: cache prefetching, read snarfing, software-controlled updating, and cache injection for reducing cache misses, and migrate-on-dirty, adaptive migratory detection, load-exclusive instruction, and exclusive prefetching for reducing invalidation bus traffic.
