this is somewhat the issue raised in this reference posting from comp.arch ... 360/370s, continuing thru 3090, etc was on path that would have required infinit fast cycle for caches in order to provide memory consistency as number of processors scaled up. their influence then somewhat impacted on rochester as they were looking as providing cache syncronization and memory consistency by a different approach (than requiring infinitly fast cache cycle time). http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005r.html#46 Numa-Q Information in the above reference by rochester ... there is some chance that the individual cited ... i may have been their direct report at some point.
