We present a tool for measuring network service latency times under high network load. This tool is a proof-of-concept application designed to show the viability of using programmable network data planes as a basis for both generating a high rate of networ ...
General-purpose processors, while tremendously versatile, pay a huge cost for their flexibility by wasting over 99% of the energy in programmability overheads. We observe that reducing this waste requires tuning data storage and compute structures and thei ...
Recent advances in data processing and communication systems have led to a continuous increase in the amount of data communicated over today’s networks. These large volumes of data pose new challenges on the current networking infrastructure that only offe ...
For several decades, online transaction processing (OLTP) has been one of the main server applications that drives innovations in the data management ecosystem, and in turn the database and computer architecture communities. Recent hardware trends oblige s ...
Hardware-assisted instruction-grain monitoring frameworks provide high-coverage, low overhead debugging support for parallel programs. Unfortunately, existing frameworks are ill-suited for the relaxed memory models employed by nearly all modern processor a ...
In this paper, we investigate the opportunity brought by controllable-polarity transistors to design efficient reconfigurable circuits. Controllable-polarity transistors are devices whose polarity can be electrostatically programmed to be either n- or p-ty ...

To become a credible alternative to specialized hardware, general-purpose networking needs to offer not only flexibility, but also predictable performance. Recent projects have demonstrated that general-purpose multicore hardware is capable of high-perform ...
Recent studies highlight that traditional transaction processing systems utilize the micro-architectural features of modern processors very poorly. L1 instruction cache and long-latency data misses dominate execution time. As a result, more than half of th ...
Contention for shared resources—caches, memory controllers, buses, NICs—is assumed to be a hurdle in optimizing and predicting the performance of multi-core software systems, especially packet-processing systems, which make extensive use of these resources ...
For several decades, online transaction processing has been one of the main applications that drives innovations in the data management ecosystem, and in turn the database and computer architecture communities. Despite the novel approaches from industry an ...
