SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS

• Compiler oriented (static)

  • compile-time analysis of program structure and data dependencies
  • insertion of the CC maintenance activities into instruction streams
  • no communication between processors
  • problems with dynamic data and conditional writes
    

• Operating system oriented (dynamic)

  • run-time detection and prevention of inconsistency
  • CC maintenance activities incorporated into OS-kernel (primarily into primitive operations for mutual exclusion)
  • CC problem transparency for a compiler layer
