Architectural Studies and Simulations of Large-Scale Multiprocessor Systems

该项目包括与Cedar项目相关的两项研究工作：Cedar共享内存的扩展和新的大规模多处理器的体系结构研究。内存的扩展允许在机器上运行真实的基准测试，从而方便了体系结构研究。将开展的研究包括多处理器中的存储器层次组织、高速缓存设计、虚拟存储器以及处理器同步和指令执行的新技术。这些主题正在通过分析、模拟和在扩大的雪松上进行实验来研究。

This project includes two research efforts related to the Cedar project: enlargement of the Cedar shared memory and architectural studies for new large-scale multiprocessors. The memory enlargement allows realistic benchmarks to be run on the machine, which facilitates the architectural studies. The studies to be carried out include investigations of memory hierarchy organization in multiprocessors, cache design, virtual memory, and new techniques for processor synchronization and instruction execution. These topics are being investigated analytically, by simulation, and experimentally on the enlarged Cedar.
