  2. Locality of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locality_of_reference

    Paging obviously benefits from temporal and spatial locality. A cache is a simple example of exploiting temporal locality, because it is a specially designed, faster but smaller memory area, generally used to keep recently referenced data and data near recently referenced data, which can lead to potential performance increases.

  3. Memory access pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_access_pattern

    In computing, a memory access pattern or IO access pattern is the pattern with which a system or program reads and writes memory on secondary storage.These patterns differ in the level of locality of reference and drastically affect cache performance, [1] and also have implications for the approach to parallelism [2] [3] and distribution of workload in shared memory systems. [4]

  4. Memory hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_hierarchy

    Most modern CPUs are so fast that for most program workloads, the bottleneck is the locality of reference of memory accesses and the efficiency of the caching and memory transfer between different levels of the hierarchy [citation needed]. As a result, the CPU spends much of its time idling, waiting for memory I/O to complete.

  5. LIRS caching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIRS_caching_algorithm

    LIRS (Low Inter-reference Recency Set) is a page replacement algorithm with an improved performance over LRU (Least Recently Used) and many other newer replacement algorithms. [1] This is achieved by using "reuse distance" [ 2 ] as the locality metric for dynamically ranking accessed pages to make a replacement decision.

  6. Consistency model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistency_model

    Transactional memory model [7] is the combination of cache coherency and memory consistency models as a communication model for shared memory systems supported by software or hardware; a transactional memory model provides both memory consistency and cache coherency. A transaction is a sequence of operations executed by a process that ...

  7. Cache coherency protocols (examples) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_coherency_protocols...

    Sending cache is changed in S and the requesting cache is set R/F (in read miss the "ownership" is always taken by the last requesting cache) – shared intervention. – In all the other cases the data is supplied by the memory and the requesting cache is set S (V). Data stored in MM and only in one cache in E (R) state.

  9. Non-uniform memory access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_memory_access

    NUMA is beneficial for workloads with high memory locality of reference and low lock contention, because a processor may operate on a subset of memory mostly or entirely within its own cache node, reducing traffic on the memory bus. [2] NUMA architectures logically follow in scaling from symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) architectures.
