Abstract :
In the last three years there has been over a fourfold improvement in the raw processor performance of VLSI integrated processors with a corresponding increase in the memory bandwidth demand. The author explores the issues of managing this increased bandwidth while retaining compatibility with a first-generation shared-memory, bus-based, symmetric, transparent multiprocessor.<>
