Network-Compute Co-Design for Distributed In-Memory Computing

Alexandros Daglis

The booming popularity of online services is rapidly raising the demands for modern datacenters. In order to cope with data deluge, growing user bases, and tight quality of service constraints, service providers deploy massive datacenters with tens to hund ...

Scalable Synchronization in Shared-Memory Systems: Extrapolating, Adapting, Tuning

Georgios Chatzopoulos

As hardware evolves, so do the needs of applications. To increase the performance of an application, there exist two well-known approaches. These are scaling up an application, using a larger multi-core platform, or scaling out, by distributing work to mul ...

Near-Memory Address Translation

Javier Picorel Obando

Virtual memory (VM) is a crucial abstraction in modern computer systems at any scale, from handheld devices to datacenters. VM provides programmers the illusion of an always sufficiently large and linear memory, making programming easier. Although the core ...

Characterization of the Impact of Hardware Islands on OLTP

Anastasia Ailamaki, Miguel Sérgio De Oliveira Branco, Pinar Tözün, Ippokratis Pandis, Danica Porobic

Modern hardware is abundantly parallel and increasingly heterogeneous. The numerous processing cores have non-uniform access latencies to the main memory and processor caches, which causes variability in the communication costs. Unfortunately, database sys ...
