Source-code-correlated cache coherence characterization of OpenMP benchmarks

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS, 18(6), 818–834.

By: J. Marathe n & F. Mueller n

author keywords: cache memories; simulation; dynamic binary rewriting; program instrumentation; SMPs; coherence protocols
TL;DR: This paper develops a coherence analysis framework based on incremental coherence simulation of actual reference traces, and shows that cache coherence traffic can be simulated with a considerable degree of accuracy for SPMD programs, as the invalidation traffic closely matches the corresponding hardware performance counters.
