Thanks for your interesting post! This is the ideal kind of discussion a programmer would like to have at a CC event.
So I do not want to spoil it by replying to the points you made :)
Yes i have all those PHD thesises, also Bob's one. Search for Robert Morgan Hyatt.
Unfortunately I could not find the thesis online. Could you or bob send it to me if it is ok. dshawul at yahoo.com.

Unfortunately, you are looking at something that evolved over time, whereas a specific article is about something being done at that specific interval in time.
That seems to be the case. I suppose the phd thesis is the last one , around 1988, which I should read first. I will come back after that.

Actually, that is the FIRST one. The DTS article in the JICCA is the last thing that was published on the topic. The last few changes (idle thread does everything) was not published anywhere, just used inside CB.

Did i hear the word GPU?

IMO there is no way to implement YBWC or DTS on current GPUs in an efficient matter.
