Optimizing Transactions for Captured Memory

Aleksandar Dragojevic

In this paper, we identify transaction-local memory as a major source of overhead from compiler instrumentation in software transactional memory (STM). Transaction-local memory is memory allocated inside a transaction, which cannot escape (i.e., is capture ...

Parallel eigenvalue reordering in real Schur forms

Daniel Kressner, Bo Kågström

A parallel algorithm for reordering the eigenvalues in the real Schur form of a matrix is presented and discussed. Our novel approach adopts computational windows and delays multiple outside-window updates until each window has been completely reordered lo ...

Stretching Transactional Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, Michal Kapalka, Aleksandar Dragojevic

Transactional memory (TM) is an appealing abstraction for programming multi-core systems. Potential target applications for TM, such as business software and video games, are likely to involve complex data structures and large transactions, requiring speci ...

Temporal streams in commercial server applications

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi, Michael Ferdman

Commercial server applications remain memory bound on modern multiprocessor systems because of their large data footprints, frequent sharing, complex non-strided access patterns, and long chains of dependant misses. To improve memory system performance des ...

Top-k/w publish/subscribe: finding k most relevant publications in sliding time window w

Karl Aberer, Ivana Podnar, Kresimir Pripuzic

Existing content-based publish/subscribe systems are designed assuming that all matching publications are equally relevant to a subscription. As we cannot know in advance the distribution of publication content, the following two unwanted situations are hi ...

Deep-submicron embedded processor architectures for high-performance, low-cost and low-power

Sylvain Aguirre

Because the market has an insatiable appetite for new functionality, performance is becoming an increasingly important factor. The telecommunication and network domains are especially touched by this phenomenon but they are not the only ones. For instance, ...

PAI: A lightweight mechanism for single-node memory recovery in DSM servers

Babak Falsafi

Several recent studies identify the memory system as the most frequent source of hardware failures in commercial servers. Techniques to protect the memory system from failures must continue to service memory requests, despite hardware failures. Furthermore ...

Spatial Memory Streaming

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi

Prior research indicates that there is much spatial variation in applications' memory access patterns. Modern memory systems, however, use small fixed-size cache blocks and as such cannot exploit the variation. Increasing the block size would not only proh ...

Store-Ordered Streaming of Shared Memory

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi

Coherence misses in shared-memory multiprocessors account for a substantial fraction of execution time in many important scientific and commercial workloads. Memory streaming provides a promising solution to the coherence miss bottleneck because it improve ...
