Caching Gaussians: Minimizing Total Correlation on the Gray–Wyner Network

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Guillaume Jean Op 't Veld

We study a caching problem that resembles a lossy Gray–Wyner network: A source produces vector samples from a Gaussian distribution, but the user is interested in the samples of only one component. The encoder first sends a cache message without any knowle ...

K Users Caching Two Files: An Improved Achievable Rate

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Saeid Sahraei

Caching is an approach to smoothen the variability of traffic over time. Recently it has been proved that the local memories at the users can be exploited for reducing the peak traffic in a much more efficient way than previously believed. In this work we ...

SABRes: Atomic Object Reads for In-Memory Rack-Scale Computing

Babak Falsafi, Edouard Bugnion, Boris Robert Grot, Alexandros Daglis, Stanko Novakovic, Dmitrii Ustiugov

Modern in-memory services rely on large distributed object stores to achieve the high scalability essential to service thousands of requests concurrently. The independent and unpredictable nature of incoming requests results in random accesses to the objec ...

A New Converse Bound for Coded Caching

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Sung Hoon Lim, Chien-Yi Wang

An information-theoretic lower bound is developed for the caching system studied by Maddah-Ali and Niesen. By comparing the proposed lower bound with the decentralized coded caching scheme of Maddah-Ali and Niesen, the optimal memory--rate tradeoff is char ...

Building Evolvable Networks

Mihai Dobrescu

Software packet-processing platforms--network devices running on general-purpose servers--are emerging as a compelling alternative to the traditional high-end switches and routers running on specialized hardware. Their promise is to enable the fast dep ...

Memory Systems and Interconnects for Scale-Out Servers

Stavros Volos

The information revolution of the last decade has been fueled by the digitization of almost all human activities through a wide range of Internet services. The backbone of this information age are scale-out datacenters that need to collect, store, and proc ...

Shared Frontend for Manycore Server Processors

Ilknur Cansu Kaynak

Instruction-supplymechanisms, namely the branch predictors and instruction prefetchers, exploit recurring control flow in an application to predict the applicationâs future control flow and provide the core with a useful instruction stream to execute in ...

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 ...

Confluence: unified instruction supply for scale-out servers

Babak Falsafi, Boris Robert Grot, Ilknur Cansu Kaynak

Multi-megabyte instruction working sets of server workloads defy the capacities of latency-critical instruction-supply components of a core; the instruction cache (L1-I) and the branch target buffer (BTB). Recent work has proposed dedicated prefetching tec ...

Caching (a pair of) Gaussians

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Guillaume Jean Op 't Veld

A source produces i.i.d. vector samples from a Gaussian distribution, but the user is interested in only one component. In the cache phase, not knowing which component the user is interested in, a first compressed description is produced. Upon learning the ...
