Abstract
We propose Proximity Coherence, a scheme in which L1 load misses are optimistically forwarded to nearby caches via dedicated links rather than always being indirected via a directory structure. Such an optimization is enabled by the comparable cost of local cache accesses with the use of on-chip network resources. Coherency is maintained through the use of lightweight graph structures embedded in the L1 caches.
