Abstract
<jats:p>Nowadays, the computational systems (multi and uniprocessors) need to avoid the cachecoherence problem. There are some techniques to solve this problem. The MESI cachecoherence protocol is one of them. This paper presents a simulator of the MESI protocolwhich is used for teaching the cache memory coherence on the computer systems withhierarchical memory system and for explaining the process of the cache memory location inmultilevel cache memory systems. The paper shows a description of the course in which thesimulator is used, a short explanation about the MESI protocol and how the simulatorworks. Then, some experimental results in a real teaching enviro...
