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 ...

Challenges of Memory Management on Modern NUMA Systems

Baptiste Joseph Eustache Lepers, Mohammad Dashti Rahmat Abadi

The latency of memory access times is hence non-uniform, because it depends on where the request originates and where it is destined to go. Such systems are referred to as nonuniform memory access (or NUMA). Current x86 NUMA systems are cache coherent (cal ...

Temperature-Aware Runtime Power Management for Chip-Multiprocessors with 3-D Stacked Cache

Giovanni De Micheli, Siang-Yun Lee

The advent of 3-D fabrication technology makes it possible to stack a large amount of last-level cache memory onto a multi-core die to reduce off-chip memory accesses and, thus, increases system performance. However, the higher power density (i.e., power d ...

Unison Cache: A Scalable and Effective Die-Stacked DRAM Cache

Babak Falsafi, Ilknur Cansu Kaynak

Recent research advocates large die-stacked DRAM caches in manycore servers to break the memory latency and bandwidth wall. To realize their full potential, die-stacked DRAM caches necessitate low lookup latencies, high hit rates and the efficient use of o ...

BuMP: Bulk Memory Access Prediction and Streaming

Babak Falsafi, Boris Robert Grot, Stavros Volos, Javier Picorel Obando

With the end of Dennard scaling, server power has emerged as the limiting factor in the quest for more capable datacenters. Without the benefit of supply voltage scaling, it is essential to lower the energy per operation to improve server efficiency. As th ...

A Primer on Hardware Prefetching

Babak Falsafi

Since the 1970’s, microprocessor-based digital platforms have been riding Moore’s law, allowing for doubling of density for the same area roughly every two years. However, whereas microprocessor fabrication has focused on increasing instruction execution r ...

Design Methods and Tools for Application-Specific Predictable Networks-on-Chip

Ciprian Seiculescu

As the complexity of applications grows with each new generation, so does the demand for computation power. To satisfy the computation demands at manageable power levels, we see a shift in the design paradigm from single processor systems to Multiprocessor ...
