Abstract :
In this two-part survey, we discussed the problems and possible solutions caused by virtual address caches in single-processor systems. In this paper, we continue to explore these topics in the context of multiprocessor systems. Processors may access their cache directly using virtual addresses. We discuss the inherent problems and possible solutions in this approach for multiprocessor systems
