Omer Khan. 2011, IEEE Computer Architecture Letters • Cache coherence plus allowing a processor to have only one request in flight at a time will provide SC • Change architecture => Relaxed memory models - Use OOO and non-blocking caches • Cache coherence and allowing multiple concurrent requests (to different addresses) gives high performance • Add fence operations to force ordering

Can the programmer ensure coherence if caches are invisible to software? What if the ISA provided a cache flush instruction? FLUSH-LOCAL A: Flushes/invalidates the cache block containing address A from a processor's local cache. FLUSH-GLOBAL A: Flushes/invalidates the cache block containing address A from all other processors'caches.
In computer architecture, cache coherence is the uniformity of shared resource data that ends up stored in multiple local caches. When clients in a system maintain caches of a common memory resource, problems may arise with incoherent data, which is particularly the case with CPUs in a multiprocessing system.
But when caches are involved, cache coherency needs to be maintained. So these systems are also known as CC-NUMA (Cache Coherent NUMA). Cache Only Memory Architecture (COMA) COMA machines are similar to NUMA machines, with the only difference that the main memories of COMA machines act as direct-mapped or set-associative caches.
This is a basic cache coherence protocol used in multiprocessor system. The letters of protocol name identify possible states in which a cache can be. So, for MSI each block can have one of the following possible states: Modified -. The block has been modified in cache, i.e., the data in the cache is inconsistent with the backing store (memory).
Cache Coherence A cache coherence issue results from the concurrent operation of several processors and the possibility that various caches may hold different versions of the identical memory block. The practice of cache coherence makes sure that alterations in the contents of associated operands are quickly transmitted across the system.
3.2 Cache Coherency. Cache coherency is a situation where multiple processor cores share the same memory hierarchy, but have their own L1 data and instruction caches. Incorrect execution could occur if two or more copies of a given cache block exist, in two processors' caches, and one of these blocks is mod
