Abstract :
The authors examine the feasibility of building cache coherent shared memory multiprocessor systems on hypercube. Various shared memory schemes are investigated and compared with each other. The schemes considered are based on memory coherence algorithms for distributed shared memory and cache coherence protocols for other shared memory architectures. It is concluded that efficient cache coherent architectures can be built using hypercubes
