Wiki: True and false sharing. In Lectures 9 and 10, we covered performance results for true- and false-sharing misses. The results showed that some applications experienced degradation due to false sharing, and that this problem was greater with larger cache lines. But these data are at least 9 years old, and for multiprocessors that are smaller than those in use today. Comb the ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, and the Web for more up-to-date results. What strategies have proven successful in combating false sharing? Is there any research into ways of diminishing true-sharing misses, e.g., by locating communicating processes on the same processor? Wouldn't this diminish parallelism and thus hurt performance?
