MOTIVATION

• Related work on the CC field systematization:

• HW solutions surveys:

  • [ARCHI86], [EGGER88]: hardware snoopy-schemes
  • [AGARW88]: hardware directory-schemes
  • [TOMAS93]: hardware solutions

• HW & SW solutions surveys:

  • [STENS90]: the included solutions are not presented into details, and many recent software solutions are missing.
  • [LILJA93]: appears recently, but does not cover properly software solutions

• SW solutions surveys:

  • [CHEON90]: compiler based schemes, developed by the authors
  • [MIN92]: a relatively narrow classification of software solutions.
