Cores execute instructions independently but share critical resources such as L2 cache memory and data channels. Clusters using multicore architectures or multiprocessors chips (MPC's) suggest a hierarchical memory environment. Parallel applications should take advantage of such memory hierarchy to achieve high performance. This paper presents a performance analysis of a synthetic application in a multicore cluster and introduces a preliminary architecture model that considers communication through both shared memory and data channels and its impact on the application performance. 606 $aComputer architecture$vCongresses 615 0$aComputer architecture 676 $a004.22 702 $aieee 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aPROCEEDING 912 $a9910140891803321 996 $a2010 22nd International Symposium on Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing Workshops$92423988 997 $aUNINA
