Abstract
This paper describes Constrained Associative-Mapping-of-Tracking-Entries (C-AMTE), a scalable mechanism to facilitate flexible and efficient distributed cache management in large-scale chip multiprocessors (CMPs). C-AMTE enables fast locating of cache blocks in CMP cache schemes that employ one-to-one or one-to-many associative mappings. C-AMTE stores in per-core data structures tracking entries to avoid on-chip interconnect traffic outburst or long distance directory lookups. Simulation results using a full system simulator demonstrate that C-AMTE achieves improvement in cache access latency by up to 34.4%, close to that of a perfect location strategy. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
