Global address space, non-uniform bandwidth: a memory system performance characterization of parallel systems
Proceedings Third International Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture
Many parallel systems offer a simple view of memory: all storage cells are addressed uniformly. Despite a uniform view of the memory, the machines differ significantly in their memory system performance (and may offer slightly different consistency models). Cached and local memory accesses are much faster than remote read accesses to data generated by another processor or remote write to data intentionally pushed to memories close to another processor. The bandwidth from/to cache and local
