Scalable and Efficient Bounds Checking for Large-Scale CMP Environments

B. S. An, K. H. Yum and E. J. Kim

Proceedings of International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques (PACT-2011), Galveston Island, Texas, October 2011

We attempt to provide an architectural support for fast and efficient bounds checking for multithread work-loads in chip-multiprocessor (CMP) environments. Bounds information sharing and smart tagging help to perform bounds checking more effectively utilizing the characteristics of a pointer. Also, the BCache architecture allows fast access to the bounds information. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme increases μ PC of memory operations by 29% on average compared to the previous hardware scheme.
