A single-ISA heterogeneous multi-core architecture is a chip multiprocessor composed of cores of varying size, performance, and complexity. This paper demonstrates that this architecture can provide significantly higher performance in the same area than a conventional chip multiprocessor. It does so by matching the various jobs of a diverse workload to the various cores. This type of architecture ...Show More

A cache consistency scheme is presented for a class of multiprocessors based on a hierarchy of rings. By taking advantage of the natural broadcast and ordering properties of rings, cache consistency is achieved via a simple, selective-broadcast based protocol requiring no complex hardware. Using address-trace driven simulations of the Hector shared-memory multiprocessor, it is shown that the schem...Show More
