Tartalja & Milutinovic's study

Goals, methodology, conditions, and metrics

• study of the impact of the restrictiveness of the invalidation conditions on the system performance

• modified Archibald-Baer’s model of the probabilistically synthesized workload:

  • spatial and processor locality modeling
  • operating system modeling

• realistic small-scale, bus-based multiprocessor

• a large number of parameters characterizing the system and workload; important Pr-o

• performance measures:

  • hit ratio,
  • invalidation traffic,
  • processing power
