Comprehensive hardware and software support for operating systems to exploit MP memory hierarchies
1999
IEEE transactions on computers
AbstractÐHigh-performance multiprocessor workstations are becoming increasingly popular. Since many of the workloads running on these machines are operating-system intensive, we are interested in exploring the types of support for the operating system that the memory hierarchy of these machines should provide. In this paper, we evaluate a comprehensive set of hardware and software supports that minimize the performance losses for the operating system in a sophisticated cache hierarchy. These
