  2. 1. Performance Modeling of Multi-core Systems : Caches and Locks

    Author : Xiaoyue Pan; Bengt Jonsson; David Whalley; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; performance modeling; performance analysis; multi-core; cache; lock;

    Abstract : Performance is an important aspect of computer systems since it directly affects user experience. One way to analyze and predict performance is via performance modeling. In recent years, multi-core systems have made processors more powerful while keeping power consumption relatively low. READ MORE

  4. 2. Caches, Transactions and Memories : Models, Coherence and Consistency

    Author : Yunyun Zhu; Parosh Abdulla; Mohamed Faouzi Atig; Ahmed Rezine; Bengt Jonsson; Riadh Robbana; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cache coherence protocol; transactional memory; weak memory model; model checking; parameterized system; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Computers have brought us inestimable convenience in recent years. We have become dependent on them and more sensitive to their performance. During the past decades, we have been trying to improve program efficiency. The invention of multi-core systems is regarded as the new era of boosting performance of computer programs. READ MORE

  5. 3. Understanding Multicore Performance : Efficient Memory System Modeling and Simulation

    Author : Andreas Sandberg; Erik Hagersten; David Black-Schaffer; David A. Wood; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Architecture; Simulation; Modeling; Sampling; Caches; Memory Systems; gem5; Parallel Simulation; Virtualization; Sampling; Multicore; Datavetenskap; Computer Science;

    Abstract : To increase performance, modern processors employ complex techniques such as out-of-order pipelines and deep cache hierarchies. While the increasing complexity has paid off in performance, it has become harder to accurately predict the effects of hardware/software optimizations in such systems. READ MORE

  6. 4. Design Considerations of Value-aware Caches

    Author : Angelos Arelakis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Memory; Data Compression; Statistical-based Compression; Value Locality; Cache; Huffman Coding;

    Abstract : On-chip cache memories are instrumental in tackling several performance and energy issues facing contemporary and future microprocessor chip architectures. First, they are key to bridge the growing speed-gap between memory and processors. READ MORE

  7. 5. High Performance Hybrid Memory Systems with 3D-stacked DRAM

    Author : Evangelos Vasilakis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; DRAM caches; Data migration; 3D-stacked DRAM; Hybrid memory systems;

    Abstract : The bandwidth of traditional DRAM is pin limited and so does not scale well with the increasing demand of data intensive workloads. 3D-stacked DRAM can alleviate this problem providing substantially higher bandwidth to a processor chip. READ MORE
