Architectural Studies and Simulations of Large-Scale Multiprocessor Systems

这个项目包括两个与Cedar项目相关的研究工作：扩展Cedar共享内存和针对新的大规模多处理器的架构研究。内存扩展允许在机器上运行真实的基准测试，这有助于架构研究。研究内容包括多处理器的内存层次结构、缓存设计、虚拟内存以及处理器同步和指令执行的新技术。这些课题正在对扩大后的雪松进行分析、模拟和实验研究。

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.
