The modern organization of parallel computing machines uses shared address-space memory.

a) Assume uniform memory access (UMA) is used for a shared address-space computer. Discuss an advantage of cache to improve the read-only and read-write operations on that computer. (6 marks)

b) Assume concurrent writing to a memory location is allowed. Define how the priority and arbitrary protocols work on concurrent writes by multiple processors. (4 marks) Show less
