Abstract
Non­Blocking Multithreaded execution models have
been proposed as an effective means to overlap compu­
tation and communication in distributed memory sys­
tems without any hardware support. Even with the
capability of latency tolerance in these execution mod­
els, each remote memory request still incurs the cost
of communication interface overhead. We therefore
designed and implemented our I­Structure Software
Cache system to further reduce communication over­
head for non­blocking multithreaded execution.
