Abstract :
Certain real-time power systems simulation applications running on parallel architectures are characterized by bursty broadcast traffic, making them ideal candidates for reflective memory networks (RMN) based on cache-coherent cache-only memory access (CC-COMA) type of schemes. We present a minimalist, scalable, and high performance RMN interface controller suitable for such applications
