Cache Pipelining

Definition:
Cache pipelining ek method hai jisme cache operations ko chhote-chhote sequential stages
mein divide kiya jata hai, taaki multiple operations ek saath process kiye ja sakein.

Stages:

 Tag Check: Ye check karta hai ki jo data request kiya gaya hai, wo cache mein
available hai ya nahi, iske liye tags ko compare kiya jata hai.
 Data Access: Agar tag match ho jata hai, toh data ko cache memory se read ya write
kiya jata hai.
 Write-back (agar applicable ho): Agar cache mein koi data modify ho gaya ho, toh
usse lower memory levels (jaise main memory) mein likha jata hai.

Advantages:

 Higher Throughput: Multiple memory operations alag-alag stages mein parallel

process hoti hain, jiski wajah se delays kam ho jate hain.
 Reduced Access Time: Stages ko overlap karke cache access ka latency kam kiya
jata hai.

2. Write Buffers

Definition:
Write buffer ek chhoti aur fast memory area hoti hai jo data ko temporarily hold karti hai jab
data ko main memory ya lower-level cache mein likhna hota hai.

Purpose:
Write buffer ka main kaam CPU ko stall hone se bachana hota hai jab tak write operation
complete nahi hota.

Operation:

 Jab CPU memory ko write karta hai, data temporarily write buffer mein store hota hai.
 Write buffer pending writes ko manage karta hai aur jab main memory free ho, tab
data ko wahan likh deta hai.

Benefits:

 Reduces Write Latency: CPU dusre operations kar sakta hai jab tak write operation
background mein complete hota hai.
 Prevents Stalls: Pipeline mein stalls (yaani, operations ke rukne) ko kam karta hai,
taaki read aur write operations ek saath chal sakein.
3. Multilevel Caches

Definition:
Multilevel caches ek hierarchy mein organize kiye jate hain, jaise L1, L2, aur kabhi-kabhi L3
cache, jismein har level ka size aur speed alag hota hai.

Levels:

 L1 Cache: Sabse fast, sabse chhota, aur CPU ke bahut kareeb hota hai. Iska latency
bahut kam hota hai.
 L2 Cache: L1 se thoda bada aur thoda slow, yeh L1 ke miss hone par data store karta
hai.
 L3 Cache: Agar present ho, toh sabse bada aur sabse slow cache hota hai, aur yeh
multi-core systems mein cores ke beech shared hota hai.

Benefits:

 Reduced Access Time: Zyada tar data requests fast caches (L1, L2) se fulfill ho jati
hain, jiski wajah se slower main memory access ki zarurat kam padti hai.
 Improved Hit Rate: Multiple cache levels ka use karne se system ko frequently
accessed data CPU ke kareeb rakhne mein madad milti hai, jo performance ko
improve karta hai.

4. Victim Caches

Definition:
Victim cache ek chhoti, fully associative cache hoti hai jo recently evicted data ko hold karti
hai jo higher-level cache (usually L1) se nikaal diya gaya ho.

Purpose:
Yeh conflict misses ko kam karti hai, jo data ko store karti hai jo recently main cache se evict
ho gaya ho.

How It Works:

 Jab data L1 se evict hota hai, toh use victim cache mein store kiya jata hai.
 Agar future mein us data ki request hoti hai, toh wo data victim cache se uthaya jata
hai, isse slow main memory ya L2 ko access karne ki zarurat nahi padti.

Benefits:

 Reduces Miss Penalty: Data jo jaldi access ho sakta tha, usko victim cache mein store
karne se miss rates kam ho jate hain.
 Efficient for Direct-Mapped Caches: Yeh direct-mapped caches mein faida mand
hota hai, jahan limited associativity ke karan conflict misses zyada hote hain.
5. Prefetching

Definition:
Prefetching ek technique hai jisme CPU future mein jo data access karega, usse pehle hi
cache mein load kar liya jata hai.

Types:

 Hardware Prefetching: CPU hardware data access patterns ko predict karke data ko
pre-load karta hai.
 Software Prefetching: Compiler prefetch instructions insert karta hai, jo code mein
predictable data access patterns ko dekh kar data ko pre-fetch karte hain.

Methods:

 Sequential Prefetching: Next block ko fetch karta hai agar predict kiya jata hai ki
CPU ko wo jaldi chahiye hoga.
 Stride Prefetching: Regular access patterns (jaise arrays mein fixed interval pe data
access) ko identify karke data ko pre-fetch karta hai.

Advantages:

 Reduces Cache Misses: Data ko pehle se load karne se, cache mein wo data milne ke
chances badh jaate hain jab CPU usse access karega.
 Improves Performance: CPU ko required data time pe mil jata hai, jisse idle time
kam hota hai aur performance improve hoti hai.

1. Software Memory Optimization

Definition:
Software memory optimization wo techniques hain jo memory usage ko efficiently
improve karte hain aur data access ko optimize karte hain, taaki cache misses
minimize ho sakein aur performance enhance ho sake.

Purpose:
Iska main purpose hai cache ko maximum use karna, jisse code aur data ko is tarah se
organize kiya jata hai ki wo cache memory mein better fit ho. Isse slow main memory access
ki zarurat kam ho jati hai.

Techniques:
• Loop Tiling (Blocking):
Yeh technique large data structures ko chhote blocks mein divide karti hai, jisse har block ke
andar cache reuse zyada ho. Yeh aksar matrix operations mein use hota hai, jahan
submatrices ko cache mein fit kiya jata hai.

• Data Layout Optimization:

Data ko is tarah se arrange karte hain ki wo access patterns se match kare, taaki cache lines
ko efficiently utilize kiya ja sake.

 Array of Structures (AoS) vs. Structure of Arrays (SoA):

Aise data layouts choose kiye jaate hain jo access patterns ko better match karte hain,
khas kar SIMD operations mein.

• Loop Unrolling:
Loop ko expand karke loop control overhead ko kam kiya jata hai, jisse pipelining aur cache
usage better ho sake.
Example: Agar ek array ko loop ke through access kiya ja raha ho, toh unrolling se ek saath
multiple array elements ko access kiya ja sakta hai, jisse data locality improve hoti hai.

• Memory Access Reordering:

Computations ko is tarah se reorder karte hain ki data ko sequential pattern mein access kiya
jaye, jisse cache misses reduce ho.
Example: Arrays ko row-wise access karna, column-wise access se behtar hota hai, khaas kar
row-major memory layouts mein.

• Prefetching (Software-Controlled):
Prefetch instructions manually insert karte hain taaki data cache mein aa jaye uske use hone
se pehle. Isse cache misses ko avoid kiya ja sakta hai jab data access pattern predictable ho.

• Minimizing Cache Interference:

Data ko is tarah se arrange kiya jata hai taaki frequently used data same cache line mein na
aaye, jisse conflict misses reduce ho sake.
Example: Arrays ko pad karna ya data placement ko adjust karna, jisse direct-mapped ya set-
associative caches mein conflicts kam ho jaye.

Benefits:
• Improved Cache Hit Rate:
Cache ko zyada effectively use karke costly memory accesses ko minimize kiya jata hai.

• Faster Execution:
Cache misses kam hone se CPU ko data jaldi milta hai aur execution fast hota hai.

2. Nonblocking Caches
Definition:
Nonblocking caches wo caches hoti hain jo ek waqt mein multiple cache requests ko
process kar sakti hain bina kisi request ko block kiye.

Purpose:
Iska main purpose hai CPU ko continue karne dena jab tak cache misses handle ho rahe ho,
matlab CPU ko har request ke complete hone ka wait nahi karna padta.
Operation:
• Jab cache miss hota hai, CPU dusre instructions ko execute kar sakta hai jo missed data par
depend nahi karte.
• Multiple cache misses ko simultaneously handle kiya ja sakta hai, jisse delays kam hote
hain aur throughput improve hota hai.

Key Features:
• Miss Status Holding Registers (MSHRs):
Yeh registers cache miss ke baare mein information hold karte hain aur multiple cache misses
ko manage karte hain.

• Multiple Miss Handling:

Yeh feature multiple data requests ko handle karta hai memory se, jisse non-blocking
behavior maintain hota hai jab cache misses ho rahe ho.

• Out-of-Order Execution Compatibility:

Nonblocking cache, out-of-order processors ke saath bhi kaam karti hai, matlab cache misses
ko parallel mein independent instructions ke saath handle kiya ja sakta hai.

Types:
• Fully Nonblocking Cache:
Yeh type koi bhi number of concurrent misses ko handle kar sakti hai, lekin yeh complex hoti
hai aur zyada resources require karti hai.

• Partially Nonblocking Cache:

Yeh concurrent misses ko limited number tak handle kar sakti hai, jisme complexity aur
performance balance hota hai.

Benefits:
• Reduces Cache Miss Penalty:
Yeh CPU ko wait karne ka time kam karti hai jab cache misses ho rahe ho.

• Increases Throughput:
CPU ki pipeline ko filled rakhti hai useful instructions se, jisse overall execution speed
improve hoti hai, especially memory-intensive tasks mein.

How's that? More casual and easy to follow now!

Here's a more casual, WhatsApp-style version of your content on Multithreading:

1. SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data)

 Definition: Ye ek parallel processing technique hai jisme ek hi instruction ko multiple

data points pe ek saath apply kiya jata hai.
 Purpose: Jaha pe same operation ko multiple data elements par chalana ho, jaise
image processing, scientific calculations, matrix operations.
 How It Works:
o Single Instruction: Sirf ek instruction processor se issue hota hai.
o Multiple Data Streams: Wo instruction multiple data elements pe apply hota
hai (jaise do arrays ko element-by-element add karna).
 Example:
Agar do arrays hain, to SIMD dono arrays ke corresponding elements ko ek hi
operation mein add kar sakta hai, instead of har pair ko loop karke add karna.
 Applications:
o Multimedia processing (video playback, gaming, image filtering)
o AI and machine learning (vectorized computations)
 Benefits:
o Increased Throughput: Zyada data ko ek hi instruction mein process karne
se tasks jaldi complete hote hain.
o Energy Efficiency: Kam instructions ke through zyada kaam ho jata hai, jisse
power save hota hai.
 Limitations:
o Ye best hai un tasks ke liye jaha same operation har data point pe ho. Agar
tasks mein alag-alag operations ki zarurat ho to ye utna effective nahi hai.

2. GPUs (Graphics Processing Units)

  Definition: Ye highly parallel processors hain jo originally graphics rendering ke liye
design kiye gaye the, par ab general-purpose computing (GPGPU) ke liye bhi use hote
hain.
 Purpose: GPUs wo tasks efficiently handle karte hain jo chhote subtasks mein divide
ho sakte hain, jaise rendering images, simulations, deep learning computations.
 Architecture:
o Many Cores: GPUs mein thousands of small cores hote hain jo data-parallel
processing karte hain.
o Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs): GPU ke cores groups mein organized
hote hain jo parallel threads execute karte hain.
o Memory Types:
 Global Memory: Sab threads access kar sakte hain, par thoda slow
hota hai.
 Shared Memory: Same block ke threads ke liye fast memory.
 Registers: Har core mein fast, local storage hota hai.
 Working Principle:
GPU ek time mein hazaaro threads ko execute karta hai, aur har core ek hi operation
ko alag-alag data points par perform karta hai. SIMD operations ke liye GPUs super
efficient hote hain.
 Applications:
o Graphics rendering, image processing
o Scientific simulations, cryptocurrency mining
o AI, machine learning
 Benefits:
o Massive Parallelism: Bohot saare threads ek saath execute karne se
computation fast ho jata hai.
o Efficient for High Data Parallelism: Jab same operation large datasets pe
apply karna ho, GPUs kaafi fast hote hain.
 Limitations:
o Less suited for tasks with high sequential dependencies: Agar tasks mein
sequential dependencies ho, toh GPUs utni efficiently nahi kaam karte.
o Not as flexible as CPUs for complex branching logic: CPUs branching logic
ko efficiently handle karte hain, jabki GPUs mein ye thoda complex hota hai.

3. Coarse-Grained Multithreading

 Definition: Ye ek multithreading technique hai jisme processor threads tab switch

karta hai jab koi costly event ho, jaise cache misses ya long memory access delays.
 Purpose: Processor ko idle time se bachane ke liye. Jab ek thread stall ho jata hai,
doosra thread execute hota hai.
 How It Works:
o Coarse-Grained: Ye tab switch karta hai jab thread ko long latency events ka
samna ho. Agar ek thread wait kar raha ho memory fetch ke liye, processor
doosra thread execute kar sakta hai.
 Benefits:
o Reduced Latency: Jab ek thread stall ho jata hai, doosra thread kaam karke
processor ko busy rakhta hai.
 o Increased Throughput: Processor busy rahega, system performance improve
hoti hai.
 Example:
Agar ek web server pe ek thread database se data fetch kar raha ho, to processor
doosra thread handle kar sakta hai, jis se response time improve hota hai.
 Limitations:
o Context Switching Overhead: Jab frequent thread switching hota hai, to
thoda overhead aata hai, jo efficiency ko reduce kar sakta hai.
o Less Responsive Than Fine-Grained Multithreading: Fine-grained
multithreading mein har cycle pe thread switch hota hai, jabki coarse-grained
multithreading mein sirf long-latency events pe switch hota hai.

Hope that makes it easier to digest! Let me know if you'd like to modify anything further.

Here's a more casual, WhatsApp-style breakdown of your content on Parallel

Programming-I:

1. Introduction to Parallel Programming

 Definition: Parallel programming ek technique hai jisme multiple processes ya

threads ek saath execute hote hain, taak ki problem solve karne ki speed sequential
processing se zyada ho sake.
 Purpose: Tasks ko multiple processors ya cores mein divide karke performance
improve karna. Matlab, alag-alag computations parallel mein karne se kaafi time
bachta hai.
 Benefits:
o Increased Performance: Task ko complete karne ka time reduce hota hai
kyunki operations ek saath run ho rahe hote hain.
o Efficient Resource Utilization: Multi-core processors ka full use hota hai.
o Scalability: Jaise-jaise cores badhenge, waise problems ko handle karne mein
asaani hoti hai.
 Challenges:
o Data Synchronization: Ye ensure karna ki multiple threads ko shared data
consistent way mein mil raha ho.
o Concurrency Issues: Jab multiple threads ek hi resource ko access karte hain,
to conflicts ka issue aa sakta hai.
o Programming Complexity: Parallel programming likhna aur debug karna
sequential programs se thoda complex hota hai.
2. Sequential Consistency

 Definition: Ye ek consistency model hai jisme parallel operations ka result aise

dikhai deta hai jaise wo ek sequential order mein execute hue hon, even though wo
actually parallel mein chal rahe hote hain.
 Explanation: Sequential consistency ka matlab hai ki jo operations threads execute
karte hain, unka order sabhi threads ko same nazar aata hai. Even if threads parallel
mein run ho rahe hain, wo shared memory operations ko ek global order mein dikhate
hain.
 Importance:
o Predictability: Parallel programs ko samajhna easy hota hai kyunki order of
operations guaranteed hota hai.
o Debugging: Debugging bhi easy ho jati hai kyunki sab threads ek hi order
mein operations dekh rahe hote hain.
 Example:
o Agar Thread A ek variable pe value write karta hai, aur Thread B usi variable
ko read karta hai, to sequentially consistent system mein Thread B ko ya to
purani value milegi ya naye value, lekin sab threads ko wo same global order
dekhne ko milega.
 Limitations:
o Performance Impact: Sequential consistency ko enforce karne se
performance thoda slow ho sakta hai kyunki kuch optimizations nahi ho paati
hain.
o Less Common in Modern Systems: Aajkal ke systems weak consistency
models use karte hain taaki performance better ho sake. Par ye programming
ko thoda challenging bana sakta hai.

3. Locks

 Definition: Lock ek synchronization mechanism hota hai jo parallel programming

mein use hota hai. Ye ensure karta hai ki ek time par ek hi thread ya process hi critical
section (shared resources ko access karne waala code) ko access kare.
 Purpose: Lock ka main purpose data races ko rokna hai aur ye ensure karna hai ki
shared data consistent rahe, jab multiple threads access kar rahe ho.
 Types of Locks:
o Mutex (Mutual Exclusion): Sabse common lock type. Ye ensure karta hai ki
ek samay par sirf ek thread hi critical section ko access kare. Jab ek thread
mutex ko lock karta hai, to dusre threads usko tab tak access nahi kar sakte jab
tak wo unlock na ho jaye.
o Spinlock: Ye lightweight lock hota hai jisme thread baar-baar check karta hai
ki lock available hai ya nahi. Ye tab use hota hai jab wait time bahut kam ho,
taaki threads ko sleep karne ka overhead na ho.
o Read-Write Lock: Multiple threads ko data read karne ki ijazat milti hai,
lekin sirf ek thread ko data write karne ki ijazat hoti hai. Ye un scenarios ke
liye useful hai jaha reads zyada ho aur writes kam.
 How Locks Work:
o Lock ko critical section mein enter karne se pehle acquire karna padta hai, aur
critical section ke baad release karna padta hai.
 o Agar dusra thread lock acquire karne ki koshish karega jab wo already locked
ho, to wo wait karega ya spinlock ke case mein baar-baar check karega jab tak
lock available na ho jaye.
 Applications:
o Shared resources (jaise database ya shared memory) ko access karte waqt
consistency ensure karna.
o Race conditions ko rokna, jaha do ya zyada threads ek saath data ko modify
kar rahe hote hain.
 Challenges:
o Deadlock: Ye tab hota hai jab do ya zyada threads ek doosre ka wait kar rahe
hote hain ki wo apna lock release karein, isse program hang ho jata hai.
o Priority Inversion: Ye situation hoti hai jab low-priority thread lock hold kar
raha ho, aur higher-priority thread us lock ka wait kar raha ho, jis se higher-
priority thread ka kaam ruk jata hai.
o Performance Overhead: Locking ka apna overhead hota hai, jisme threads
ko wait karna padta hai, jis se overall execution thoda slow ho jata hai.

Let me know if you need any more changes!

Here's the content on Parallel Programming-II in a WhatsApp-style, more casual version:

1. Atomic Operations

 Definition: Atomic operations wo operations hain jo ek hi step mein complete ho jati

hain bina interrupt ke, matlab wo indivisible hoti hain aur unhe break nahi kiya ja
sakta.
 Purpose: Ye ensure karta hai ki jab ek thread shared resource ko update kare, to koi
doosra thread usi waqt us data ko modify na kare. Isse race conditions prevent hoti
hain.
 Examples:
o Incrementing a Counter: Atomic increment operation ensures karta hai ki ek
time par sirf ek thread hi counter ko update kare.
o Compare-and-Swap (CAS): Ek variable ki current value ko specified value
se compare karta hai, aur agar match ho, to usse ek new value ke saath swap
kar leta hai.
 Importance:
o Thread Safety: Ye ensure karta hai ki data inconsistent na ho, kyunki koi
doosra thread operation ke beech mein interfere nahi karega.
o Efficiency: Atomic operations locks se fast hote hain, kyunki ye context
switching ya waiting require nahi karte. Simple tasks ke liye best hain.
 Limitations:
o Limited Scope: Ye sirf simple tasks ke liye kaam aati hain, jaise increment
karna ya value swap karna. Complex operations ke liye ye sufficient nahi hoti.
2. Memory Fences (Barriers)

 Definition: Memory fences wo instructions hoti hain jo memory operations par

ordering constraints enforce karti hain. Ye ensure karti hain ki kuch operations doosre
operations ke complete hone ke baad hi start ho.
 Purpose: Threads ke beech memory consistency maintain karne ke liye, specially
systems with relaxed memory models pe.
 Types of Memory Fences:
o Load Fence: Ye ensure karta hai ki saare read operations fence ke pehle
complete ho jaye, phir baad ke loads execute ho.
o Store Fence: Store operations pehle complete karni hoti hain, phir baad ke
stores execute hote hain.
o Full Fence: Saare loads aur stores fence ke pehle complete hone chahiye, phir
baad mein koi bhi operations execute ho.
 Usage in Multithreading: Memory fences ki importance tab badhti hai jab multiple
processors/cores hain, jaha instructions ko reorder kiya ja sakta hai optimization ke
liye. Fences ye reorder ko rokne ke liye help karti hain.
 Example: Ek producer-consumer model mein, memory fence ensure karta hai ki
producer ka data consumer ko access karne se pehle properly visible ho jaye.
 Limitations:
o Performance Cost: Fences ka use karne se program slow ho sakta hai, kyunki
strict ordering enforce hota hai.
o Complexity: Memory fences ka sahi se use karna thoda complex ho sakta hai,
kyunki system ke memory model ko samajhna padta hai.

3. Locks

 Definition: Locks ek synchronization mechanism hai jo ensure karta hai ki ek time

par sirf ek thread hi resource ko access kare ya critical section mein enter kare.
 Purpose: Multiple threads ko ek saath shared resources ko access karne se rokta hai,
taaki data consistent rahe.
 Common Types of Locks:
o Mutex (Mutual Exclusion): Ye lock type sabse common hai. Sirf ek thread
ko critical section mein enter karne ki permission milti hai.
o Spinlock: Thread baar-baar check karta hai ki lock available hai ya nahi.
Short wait times ke liye ideal hota hai.
o Read-Write Lock: Multiple threads ko data read karne ki permission milti
hai, lekin write sirf ek thread kar sakta hai at a time. Reads jyada hain aur
writes kam hain, to ye useful hai.
 How Locks Work:
o Thread ko lock acquire karna padta hai critical section mein enter hone ke liye,
aur phir release karna padta hai jab wo exit karta hai.
o Agar koi doosra thread lock acquire karne ki koshish kare, to wo wait karega
ya spinlock mein baar-baar check karega.
 Issues with Locks:
 o Deadlock: Jab do ya zyada threads ek doosre ka wait karte hain apne locks
release karne ke liye, to program halt ho jata hai.
o Priority Inversion: Agar low-priority thread lock hold kar raha ho aur high-
priority thread ko wo lock chahiye ho, to high-priority thread delay ho jata hai.
o Performance Overhead: Frequent locks ka use program ko slow kar sakta
hai, kyunki threads ko resource access karne ke liye wait karna padta hai.

4. Semaphores

 Definition: Semaphores ek synchronization tool hai jo counter ke through resource

access ko control karta hai, allowing a specified number of threads to access the
resource at the same time.
 Types of Semaphores:
o Binary Semaphore: Ye ek type ka semaphore hota hai jisme value 0 ya 1 hoti
hai, jaise mutex. Sirf ek thread ko resource access milta hai at a time.
o Counting Semaphore: Ye multiple threads ko resource access dene ki ijazat
deta hai, jo counter ki value pe depend karta hai.
 How Semaphores Work:
o Wait (P Operation): Semaphore count ko 1 se decrease karta hai. Agar count
0 ho, to thread block ho jata hai jab tak count increase nahi hota.
o Signal (V Operation): Semaphore count ko 1 se increase karta hai, taaki koi
waiting thread resource access kar sake.
 Applications:
o Resource Management: Database connections ya limited resources ko
manage karne mein help karta hai, jaha threads ko limit kiya jata hai ki kitni
threads ek saath resource access kar sakti hain.
o Thread Synchronization: Threads ko coordinate karta hai taaki ek thread kisi
task ko complete karne ke baad doosra thread start ho sake.
 Example: Agar ek system mein database connections limited hain, to counting
semaphore ye ensure karta hai ki ek waqt mein limited number of threads hi database
ko access kar sake.
 Advantages:
o Flexibility: Multiple threads ko access dena possible hai, isliye limited
resources efficiently handle kiye ja sakte hain.
o Efficiency: Jab multiple threads ko access dena safe ho, to resources ka better
utilization hota hai.
 Challenges:
o Risk of Misuse: Agar semaphore ka use galat tarike se kiya jaye, to deadlocks
ho sakte hain.
o Complexity: Semaphore ka management thoda tricky hota hai, aur careful
planning ki zarurat hoti hai taaki resource exhaustion ya conflicts na ho.

Let me know if you want any more changes or clarifications!

Here's a WhatsApp-style summary of Small Multiprocessors for you:

1. Bus Implementation

 Definition: Bus ek communication system hai jo data transfer karta hai processors,
memory, aur other components ke beech. Iska kaam processors ko ek doosre ke saath
aur memory ke saath communicate karna hai.
 Purpose: Taki processors apne memory aur resources share kar sakein, aur data
transfer smoothly ho sake.
 Key Components:
o Data Bus: Ye data ko processors, memory, aur devices ke beech carry karta
hai.
o Address Bus: Ye memory locations ke addresses transmit karta hai.
o Control Bus: Ye signals send karta hai jo data flow ka timing aur direction
decide karte hain.
 Types of Bus Systems:
o Single Bus: Sab processors aur memory modules ek hi bus share karte hain.
Simple hai, par jab zyada processors ho, to bottleneck ho sakta hai.
o Multiple Bus: Alag-alag buses ka use hota hai, jisse bandwidth improve hoti
hai aur multiple data transfers simultaneously ho sakte hain.
 Challenges:
o Scalability: Jitne zyada processors honge, bus ka contention utna zyada hoga,
jis se communication slow ho sakta hai.
o Performance Bottlenecks: Agar multiple processors bus ko access karna
chahein, to delay ho sakta hai.
 Solution - Bus Arbitration:
o Purpose: Jab multiple devices bus access karna chahti hain, to arbitration
decide karta hai ki kaun bus use karega.
o Arbitration Methods:
 Centralized Arbitration: Ek controller decide karta hai kis device ko
bus access milega, based on priority.
 Distributed Arbitration: Sab devices milke decide karte hain ki kis
device ko bus milega.

2. Cache Coherence Protocols

 Definition: Ye protocols ensure karte hain ki multiprocessor system mein different
processors ke caches mein data consistent rahe.
 Purpose: Taaki saare processors ko memory ka consistent view mile, jab multiple
caches ek hi data ko store karte hain.
 Why Cache Coherence is Needed: Multiprocessor systems mein har processor ka
apna cache hota hai. Agar ek processor apne cache mein data update karta hai, aur
doosra processor apne outdated cache se data access kare, to inconsistency ho sakti
hai.
 Types of Cache Coherence Problems:
o Write-Through Problem: Jab ek cache shared variable ko update karta hai,
lekin doosre caches ko update nahi milta.
o False Sharing: Jab processors ek doosre ke cache entries ko invalidate karte
rehte hain, even though wo alag parts ko access kar rahe hote hain.
 Main Cache Coherence Protocols:
o Snooping Protocols:
 Definition: Isme har cache shared bus ko monitor karta hai (snoop)
taaki agar doosra cache data modify kare, to wo update ho sake.
 Common Snooping Protocols:
 Write-Invalidate: Jab processor kisi cache line ko write karta
hai, wo saare caches ko invalidate kar deta hai, taaki ek valid
copy hi rahe.
 Write-Update (Write-Broadcast): Jab processor kisi cache
line ko write karta hai, wo update doosre caches ko broadcast
kar deta hai, taaki saare copies update ho jayein.
 Advantages:
 Effective for small multiprocessor systems.
 Simple implementation agar shared bus ho.
 Disadvantages:
 Jaise-jaise processors badhte hain, bus par traffic zyada ho jata
hai, jisse inefficiency hoti hai.
o Directory-Based Protocols:
 Definition: Ek centralized directory hota hai jo track karta hai kis
cache ke paas kaunsa memory block hai. Ye directory coherence ko
manage karta hai, taaki caches ko baar-baar bus ko monitor karna na
pade.
 How It Works: Jab processor read ya write karta hai, wo directory se
contact karta hai, aur directory handle karti hai coherence.
 Advantages:
 Zyada processors hone par better scale hota hai.
 Bus traffic kam hota hai, kyunki sirf necessary updates
communicate hote hain.
 Disadvantages:
 Implementation thoda complex hota hai, kyunki ek centralized
directory manage karni padti hai.
 States in Cache Coherence Protocols:
o MESI Protocol (common in snooping systems):
 Modified (M): Cache line modified hai aur sirf is cache mein hai. Isse
main memory mein write karna padta hai jab doosra processor access
kare.
  Exclusive (E): Cache line modified nahi hai, aur yeh sirf is cache mein
hai. Agar modify kare, to write back ki zarurat nahi.
 Shared (S): Cache line multiple caches mein ho sakta hai, par
modified nahi hai.
 Invalid (I): Cache line invalid ya outdated hai.
