For improving the performance of references to the system memory on a Cell processor, this paper implements a software cache supporting the released memory model. The experimental results show that the software cache can reduce the overhead of the references to the system memory, and can improve the performance of OpenMP programs.
Key words： cell processor；software cache;OpenMP
