      Memory performance of DSS commercial workloads in shared-memory multiprocessors 

      Trancoso, Pedro; Larriba-Pey, Josep-L; Zhang, Zheng; Torrellas, Josep (IEEE, 1997)
      Although cache-coherent shared-memory multiprocessors are often used to run commercial workloads, little work has been done to characterize how well these machines support such workloads. In particular, we do not have much ...
