One of the key challenges in chip multi-processing is to provide a programming model that manages cache coherency in a transparent and efficient way. A large number of applications designed for ...

Open Core Protocol (OCP) [1][2] is a common standard for Intellectual Property (IP)core interfaces. OCP facilitates IP core plug-and-play and simplifies reuse by decoupling the cores from the on-chip ...

In distributed memory systems, not all cores or processors have the same access to memory; see Figure 4.7. Memory is local to a particular core or processor, with only that processor having direct ...

Although snoopy virtual-bus approaches are the first step, hybrid snoopy-directory schemes will be the next trend in embedded coherence. Without a doubt, embedded systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) are becoming ...

Machine learning and artificial intelligence systems are driving the need for systems-on-chip containing tens or even hundreds of heterogeneous processing cores. As these systems expand in size and ...

In addition to the cache-coherence protocol discussed here, Sun already used formal verification successfully to verify other protocol-related problems. Architecture-level protocol verification is a ...

“We report our experience formally modelling and verifying CXL.cache, the inter-device cache coherence protocol of the Compute Express Link standard. We have used the Isabelle proof assistant to ...

This project was a solo project and as a part of Advance Computer Architecture class at Georgia Tech. “MOESI” is invalidation based multiprocessor cache coherence protocol which has five states namely ...
