In a shared memory multiprocessor machine each CPU and cache module are connected together via a bus that also includes memory and IO connections. The bus enforces a cache coherency protocol. See also cache, coherence, Mbus, XDBus.
Industry:Computer
A fatal error occurs in the SAX parser when a document is not well formed or otherwise cannot be processed. See also error, warning.

In a set associative cache, there are a fixed number of locations (at least two) where each block can be placed. A set associative cache with n locations for a block is called an n-way set associative cache. An n-way set associative cache consists of more than one set, each of which consists of n blocks. A block can be placed in any location (element) of that set. Increasing the associativity level (number of blocks in a set) increases the cache hit rate. See also cache, cache locality, false sharing, write-invalidate, write-update.

A DTD specification that defines an element as containing a mixture of text and one more other elements. The specification must start with #PCDATA, followed by diverse elements, and must end with the "zero-or-more" asterisk symbol (*).
