Why Nothing Matters: The Impact of Zeroing

Memory safety defends against inadvertent and malicious misuse of memory that may compromise program correctness and security. A critical element of memory safety is zero initialization. The direct cost of zero initialization is surprisingly high: up to 12 ...

Performance Profiling of Virtual Machines

Willy Zwaenepoel, Jiaqing Du

Profilers based on hardware performance counters are indispensable for performance debugging of complex software systems. All modern processors feature hardware performance counters, but current virtual machine monitors (VMMs) do not properly expose them t ...

Synthesis strategies for sub-VT systems

Andreas Peter Burg, Pascal Andreas Meinerzhagen, Oskar Andersson

Various synthesis strategies relying on conventional standard-cell libraries (SCLs) are evaluated in order to minimize the energy dissipation per operation in sub-threshold (sub-VT) systems. First, two sub-V T analysis methods are reviewed, both of which a ...

Performance Profiling in a Virtualized Environment

Willy Zwaenepoel, Jiaqing Du

Virtualization is a key enabling technology for cloud computing. Many applications deployed in a cloud run in virtual machines. However, profilers based on CPU performance counters do not work well in a virtualized environment. In this paper, we explore th ...

Language Virtualization for Heterogeneous Parallel Computing

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Hassan Chafi

As heterogeneous parallel systems become dominant, application developers are being forced to turn to an incompatible mix of low level programming models (e.g. OpenMP, MPI, CUDA, OpenCL). However, these models do little to shield developers from the diffic ...

Optimizing network performance in virtual machines

Aravind Menon

In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in the adoption of virtual machine technology in data centers and cluster environments. This trend towards server virtualization is driven by two main factors: the savings in hardware cost that can be achieved ...

How TMS and (light) masks modulate feature integration

Michael Herzog, Frank Scharnowski, Johannes Rüter

When a right offset vernier is immediately followed by a left offset vernier (or vice versa), only one vernier is perceived. Feature fusion has occurred. In feature fusion, observers cannot resolve the two verniers individually. Subjects perform at chance ...
