Abstract:
The present invention may provide a computer system including a plurality of tiles divided into multiple virtual domains. Each tile may include a router to communicate with others of said tiles, a private cache to store data, and a spill table to record pointers for data evicted from the private cache to a remote host, wherein the remote host and the respective tile are provided in the same virtual domain. The spill tables may allow for faster retrieval of previously evicted data because the home registry does not need to be referenced if requested data is listed in the spill table. Therefore, embodiments of the present invention may provide a distance-aware cache collaboration architecture without incurring extraneous overhead expenses.
