Cache coherence protocols in multi-processor / Fatin Najihah Razlan

The data coherence in the cache systems in multi-processors is expected to be more precise and reliable. There is no doubt that many approach has been taken in order to achieve that purpose. This thesis describes one of the approaches which is the cache coherence protocols in multiprocessor. A cache...
