Scalable Multiprocessors and the DASH Approach, lecture by John Hennessy. This video was recorded in April, 1992. From University Video Communications' catalog: "Any multiprocessor architecture that claims to scale to large numbers of processors must be able to scale both the private memory bandwidth and the interprocessor communication bandwidth. It is easy to see how nonshared memory machines can provide for scaling these metrics; however, it is less easy to see how a shared memory machine can do so. The DASH architecture being developed at Stanford provides for the scaling of both local and shared memory bandwidth. DASH uses distributed memory and a cache coherency protocol based on directories. The shared memory model simplifies programming and eases the construction of efficient compilers." Lot number: X6636.2013 Catalog number: 102624687
