dc.description.abstract	Shared-memory multiprocessors commonly use shared variables for synchronization. Simulations of real parallel applications show that large-scale cache-coherent multiprocessors suffer significant amounts of invalidation traffic due to synchronization. Large multiprocessors that do not cache synchronization variables are often more severely impacted.	en_US
