HetExchange: Encapsulating heterogeneous CPU-GPU parallelism in JIT compiled engines

Anastasia Ailamaki, Periklis Chrysogelos, Manolis Karpathiotakis, Raja Appuswamy

Modern server hardware is increasingly heterogeneous as hardware accelerators, such as GPUs, are used together with multicore CPUs to meet the computational demands of modern data analytics workloads. Unfortunately, query parallelization techniques used by ...

LTRF: Enabling High-Capacity Register Files for GPUs via Hardware/Software Cooperative Register Prefetching

Babak Falsafi, Mario Paulo Drumond Lages De Oliveira, Hamid Sarbazi-Azad, Seyed Borna Ehsani

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) employ large register files to accommodate all active threads and accelerate context switching. Unfortunately, register files are a scalability bottleneck for future GPUs due to long access latency, high power consumption, ...

Interleaving with coroutines: a systematic and practical approach to hide memory latency in index joins

Anastasia Ailamaki, Georgios Psaropoulos

Index joins present a case of pointer-chasing code that causes data cache misses. In principle, we can hide these cache misses by overlapping them with computation: The lookups involved in an index join are parallel tasks whose execution can be interleaved ...

Interleaving with Coroutines: A Practical Approach for Robust Index Joins

Anastasia Ailamaki, Georgios Psaropoulos

Index join performance is determined by the efficiency of the lookup operation on the involved index. Although database indexes are highly optimized to leverage processor caches, main memory accesses inevitably increase lookup runtime when the index outsiz ...

Exploiting Dynamic Timing Margins in Microprocessors for Frequency-Over-Scaling with Instruction-Based Clock Adjustment

Andreas Peter Burg, Georgios Karakonstantis, Jeremy Hugues-Felix Constantin, Anupam Chattopadhyay

Static timing analysis provides the basis for setting the clock period of a microprocessor core, based on its worst-case critical path. However, depending on the design, this critical path is not always excited and therefore dynamic timing margins exist th ...

Multi-Gigabyte On-Chip DRAM Caches for Servers

Dorde Jevdic

While DRAM latency has long been recognized as a major bottleneck in servers, DRAM bandwidth is emerging as an important bottleneck as server processors shift to many-core architectures to allow for sustainable throughput improvements. The rapid expansion ...

Reducing the Energy Dissipation of the Issue Queue by Exploiting Narrow Immediate Operands

Yusuf Onur Koçberber, Ilknur Cansu Kaynak

In contemporary superscalar microprocessors, issue queue is a considerable energy dissipating component due its complex scheduling logic. In addition to the energy dissipated for scheduling activities, read and write lines of the issue queue entries are al ...

A case for asymmetric-cell cache memories

Babak Falsafi

In this paper, we make the case for building high-performance asymmetric-cell caches (ACCs) that employ recently-proposed asymmetric SRAMs to reduce leakage proportionally to the number of resident zero bits. Because ACCs target memory value content (indep ...

Optimizing traffic in DSM clusters: fine-grain memory caching versus page migration/replication

Babak Falsafi

In this paper we compare and contrast two techniques to improve capacity/conflict miss traffic in CC-NUMA DSM clusters. Page migration/replication optimizes read-write accesses to a page used by a single processor by migrating the page to that processor an ...
