 \subsection{Controlled Allocation Size; Variable Allocation Count}
 Experiments are first conducted over software coherency operation latencies over variable \texttt{mmap}-ed memory area sizes while keeping the underlying allocation sizes to 4KiB (i.e., single-page allocation). All experiments are conducted on \texttt{star} on \texttt{mmap} memory areas ranged from 16KiB till 1GiB, in which we control the number of sampled coherency operations to 1000. Data gathering is performed using the \texttt{trace-cmd} front-end for \texttt{ftrace}. The results of the experiments conducted is listed in figure \ref{fig:coherency-op-per-page-alloc}.

 \subsection{Controlled Allocation Count; Variable Allocation Size} \label{sec:experiment-var-alloc-cnt}
 We also conduct experiments over software coherency operations latencies over fixed \texttt{mmap}-ed memory area sizes while varying the underlying allocation sizes. This is achieved by varying the allocation order -- while 0-order allocation allocates $2^0 = 1$ page per allocation, a 8-order allocation allocates $2^8 = 256$ contiguous pages per allocation. All experiments are conducted on \texttt{star}. The results for all experiments are gathered using \texttt{bcc-tools}, which provide utilities for injecting \textit{BPF}-based tracing routines. The results of these experimentations are visualized in figure \ref{fig:coherency-op-multi-page-alloc}, with $N \ge 64$ per experiment.
