ARCc: A case for an architecturally redundant cache-coherence architecture for large multicores

This paper proposes an architecturally redundant cache-coherence architecture (ARCc) that combines the directory and shared-NUCA based coherence protocols to improve performance, energy and dependability. Both coherence mechanisms co-exist in the hardware and ARCc enables seamless transition between...
