  2. Project 11 • Configure a system with the following architectural characteristics: • • Cache coherence protocol = MESI. • • Scheme for bus arbitration = LRU. • • Word wide (bits) = 16. • • Words by block = 32 (block size = 64 bytes). • • Blocks in main memory = 524288 (main memory size = 32 MB). • • Blocks in cache = 256 (cache size = 16 KB). • • Mapping = Set-Associative. • • Cache sets = 64 (four-way set associative caches). • • Replacement policy = LRU.

  3. Question : Does the global miss rate increase or decrease as the number of processors increases? Why? Does this increment or decrement happen for all the benchmarks or does it depend on the different locality grades, shared data,...? What does it happen with the capacity and coherence misses when you enlarge the number of processors? Are there conflict misses in these experiments? Why? Answer The global miss rate will increase as the number of processor increases. By the result, the increment are happened in all benchmarks. Generally, the greater number of processors, the higher miss rate and network traffics.

  4. Question: Configure the number of processors in the SMP using the following configurations: 1, 2, 4, and 8. For each of the configurations, obtain the global miss rate for the system using the three traces that were generated by the post-mortem scheme: FFT, Simple and Weather. (Note: To change with Comp, Hydro and Nasa7 with your permission) Answer : I have attached the result by configuring each of the processor using SMP Cache simulator. I have chose Comp, Hydro and Nasa7 traces to get my result.

  21. Conclusion Question: In conclusion, does the increase of the number of processors improve the multiprocessor system performance? Why and in what sense? Answer: • In conclusion, the increase of the number of processors can improve the multiprocessor system performance. However, it depends on the bus bandwidth, if the Multiprocessor System have enough bus bandwidth then the performance will increase, if not the system will slow down.
