OLTP on Hardware Islands

Anastasia Ailamaki, Miguel Sérgio De Oliveira Branco, Pinar Tözün, Ippokratis Pandis, Danica Porobic

Modern hardware is abundantly parallel and increasingly heterogeneous. The numerous processing cores have non-uniform access latencies to the main memory and to the processor caches, which causes variability in the communication costs. Unfortunately, datab ...

TM2C: A software transactional memory for many-cores

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Vasileios Trigonakis

Transactional memory is an appealing paradigm for concurrent programming. Many software implementations of the paradigm were proposed in the last decades for both shared memory multi-core systems and clusters of distributed machines. However, chip manufact ...

A High-throughput and Low-Latency Interconnection Network for Multi-Core Clusters with 3-D Stacked L2 Tightly-Coupled Data Memory

Giovanni De Micheli, Luca Benini

The performance of most digital systems today is limited by the interconnect latency between logic and memory, rather than by the performance of logic or memory itself. Three- dimensional (3-D) integration using through-silicon-vias (TSVs) may provide a so ...

Toward Predictable Performance in Software Packet-Processing Platforms

Mihai Dobrescu

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 ...

Optimizing Data-Center TCO with Scale-Out Processors

Babak Falsafi, Boris Robert Grot, Pejman Lotfi Kamran

Performance and total cost of ownership (TCO) are key optimization metrics in large-scale data centers. According to these metrics, data centers designed with conventional server processors are inefficient. Recently introduced processors based on low-power ...

Toward Predictable Performance in Software Packet-Processing Platforms

Mihai Dobrescu

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 ...

Fine-grained Parallel Traversals of Irregular Data Structures

James Richard Larus

Fine-grain data parallelism is increasingly common in mainstream processors in the form of long vectors and on-chip GPUs. This paper develops compiler and runtime support to exploit such data parallelism for non-numeric, non-graphic, irregular parallel tas ...

Online Thermal Control Methods for Multi-Processor Systems

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Colin Neil Jones, Luca Benini, Francesco Zanini

With technological advances, the number of cores integrated on a chip is increasing. This, in turn is leading to thermal constraints and thermal design challenges. Temperature gradients and hot-spots not only affect the performance of the system, but also ...

Towards Multi-Fabric 3D Integration Architectures

Panagiotis Athanasopoulos

The main aim of this thesis is to examine the advantages of 3D stacking applied to microprocessors and related integrated microprocessor systems in the architectural level. In the succession of years microprocessors are aiming towards lower power consumpti ...
