A Software Approach to Unifying Multicore Caches

Multicore chips will have large amounts of fast on-chip cache memory, along with relatively slow DRAM interfaces. The on-chip cache memory, however, will be fragmented and spread over the chip; this distributed arrangement is hard for certain kinds of applications to exploit efficiently, and can lea...
