Nowadays the market is moving to have multiple
cores on the same chip (Chip Multiprocessors - CMP)
with a multi-sliced L2 which is shared by 2 cores. CMPs
with 8 cores can already be found, and future CMPs
will have more than 8 cores. It’s interesting to have
more than 2 cores sharing their L2 slice. So, the idea
is to evaluate future CMPs with 4 processors sharing the
same L2 slice, compare them to the present ones with
2 processors sharing it and also with processors with 1
processor per L2. We construct a model and evaluate it
with a full-system simulation, using 32 processors, under
SPLASH-2 benchmarks. Previous results show that
the execution time is improved of about 8.7% for FMM
to 40.3% for Radiosity.
