Abstract: Memory latency, bandwidth, and locality of reference will play larger roles in future parallel systems as processors speed up relative to main memory latency. Using an instruction level PA-RISC multiprocessor simulator, we examined hardware and software techniques that address these issues for small-scale, shared memory machines.
