In computer architecture , cache coherence is the uniformity of shared resource data that is stored in multiple local caches . In a cache coherent system, if multiple clients have a cached copy of the same region of a shared memory resource, all copies are the same. Without cache coherence, a change made to the region by one client may not be seen by others, and errors can result when the data used by different clients is mismatched.
56-410: Stanford DASH was a cache coherent multiprocessor developed in the late 1980s by a group led by Anoop Gupta, John L. Hennessy , Mark Horowitz , and Monica S. Lam at Stanford University . It was based on adding a pair of directory boards designed at Stanford to up to 16 SGI IRIS 4D Power Series machines and then cabling the systems in a mesh topology using

Since 1 January 2007, ISBNs have contained thirteen digits, a format that is compatible with " Bookland " European Article Numbers , which have 13 digits. Since 2016, ISBNs have also been used to identify mobile games by China's Administration of Press and Publication . The United States , with 3.9 million registered ISBNs in 2020,

Stanford DASH was also notable for both supporting and helping to formalize weak memory consistency models , including release consistency . Because Stanford DASH was

Another definition is: "a multiprocessor is cache consistent if all writes to the same memory location are performed in some sequential order". Rarely, but especially in algorithms, coherence can instead refer to the locality of reference . Multiple copies of the same data can exist in different cache simultaneously and if processors are allowed to update their own copies freely, an inconsistent view of memory can result. The two most common mechanisms of ensuring coherency are snooping and directory-based , each having their own benefits and drawbacks. Snooping based protocols tend to be faster, if enough bandwidth
280-446: A coherent system is via the definition of sequential consistency memory model: "the cache coherent system must appear to execute all threads’ loads and stores to a single memory location in a total order that respects the program order of each thread". Thus, the only difference between the cache coherent system and sequentially consistent system is in the number of address locations the definition talks about (single memory location for
336-603: A copy of the memory location X. The following conditions are necessary to achieve cache coherence: The above conditions satisfy the Write Propagation criteria required for cache coherence. However, they are not sufficient as they do not satisfy the Transaction Serialization condition. To illustrate this better, consider the following example: A multi-processor system consists of four processors - P1, P2, P3 and P4, all containing cached copies of
392-451: A given ISBN is complicated, because most of the parts do not use a fixed number of digits. ISBN issuance is country-specific, in that ISBNs are issued by the ISBN registration agency that is responsible for that country or territory regardless of the publication language. The ranges of ISBNs assigned to any particular country are based on the publishing profile of the country concerned, and so
448-429: A read to S . P4 on the other hand may see changes made by P1 and P2 in the order in which they are made and hence return 20 on a read to S . The processors P3 and P4 now have an incoherent view of the memory. Therefore, in order to satisfy Transaction Serialization, and hence achieve Cache Coherence, the following condition along with the previous two mentioned in this section must be met: The alternative definition of
504-405: A shared variable S whose initial value is 0. Processor P1 changes the value of S (in its cached copy) to 10 following which processor P2 changes the value of S in its own cached copy to 20. If we ensure only write propagation, then P3 and P4 will certainly see the changes made to S by P1 and P2. However, P3 may see the change made by P1 after seeing the change made by P2 and hence return 10 on

For example, an e-book , a paperback and a hardcover edition of the same book must each have a different ISBN, but an unchanged reprint of the hardcover edition keeps the same ISBN.

The method of assigning an ISBN is nation-specific and varies between countries, often depending on how large

The system for 13-digit ISBNs is not compatible with SBNs and will, in general, give a different check digit from the corresponding 10-digit ISBN, so does not provide the same protection against transposition. This is because the 13-digit code
728-564: A zero to a 9-digit SBN creates a valid 10-digit ISBN. The national ISBN agency assigns the registrant element ( cf. Category:ISBN agencies ) and an accompanying series of ISBNs within that registrant element to the publisher; the publisher then allocates one of the ISBNs to each of its books. In most countries, a book publisher is not legally required to assign an ISBN, although most large bookstores only handle publications that have ISBNs assigned to them.
