Abstract
The Automatic Update Release Consistency (AURC) protocol was evaluated on the SHRIMP multicomputer, the only hardware platform that supports an automatic update mechanism. Automatic update propagates local memory writes to remote memory locations automatically. The AURC protocol was compared with its all-software counterpart protocol, Home-based Lazy Release Consistency (HLRC). By integrating AU support into the protocol as well, the AURC protocol can improve performance. For applications with write-write false sharing, an AU-based multiple-writer protocol can significantly outperform an all-software home-based multiple-writer LRC protocol that uses diffs.
