Stretch: Balancing QoS and Throughput for Colocated Server Workloads on SMT Cores

Boris Robert Grot, Siddharth Gupta

In a drive to maximize resource utilization, today's datacenters are moving to colocation of latency-sensitive and batch workloads on the same server. State-of-the-art deployments, such as those at Google, colocate such diverse workloads even on a single S ...

Linebacker: Preserving Victim Cache Lines in Idle Register Files of GPUs

Yunho Oh

Modern GPUs suffer from cache contention due to the limited cache size that is shared across tens of concurrently running warps. To increase the per-warp cache size prior techniques proposed warp throttling which limits the number of active warps. Warp thr ...

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, ...

Fast, Nearly Optimal ISE Identification with I/O Serialization through Maximal Clique Enumeration

Paolo Ienne, Philip Brisk, Ajay Kumar Verma

The last decade has witnessed the emergence of the application-specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) as a viable platform for embedded systems. Extensible ASIPs allow the user to augment a base processor with instruction set extensions (ISEs) that exec ...
