Secure Interface Design Leveraging Hardware/Software Support
Computer systems rely heavily on abstraction to manage the exponential growth of complexity across hardware and software. Due to practical considerations of compatibility between components of these complex systems across generations, developers have favou ...
EPFL2024Rebooting Virtual Memory with Midgard
Virtual Memory (VM) is a critical programming abstraction that is widely used in various modern computing platforms. With the rise of datacenter computing and birth of planet-scale online services, the semantic and capacity requirements from memory have ev ...
EPFL2023Method for reading and writing unreliable memories and a corresponding memory controller device and memory
Andreas Peter Burg, Reza Ghanaatian Jahromi
A method of accessing a memory space of a memory device with a decoder, the memory space having faults, including the steps of performing a memory access operation by an electronic device to a access a logical memory space of the memory device, and randomi ...
2022Rebooting Virtual Memory with Midgard
Babak Falsafi, Mathias Josef Payer, Siddharth Gupta, Atri Bhattacharyya, Yunho Oh, Abhishek Bhattacharjee
Computer systems designers are building cache hierarchies with higher capacity to capture the ever-increasing working sets of modern workloads. Cache hierarchies with higher capacity improve system performance but shift the performance bottleneck to addres ...
2021SPARTA: A Divide and Conquer Approach to Address Translation for Accelerators
Babak Falsafi, Javier Picorel Obando, Abhishek Bhattacharjee
Virtual memory (VM) is critical to the usability and programmability of hardware accelerators. Unfortunately, implementing accelerator VM efficiently is challenging because the area and power constraints make it difficult to employ the large multi-level TL ...
2020Gain-Cell Embedded DRAMs: Modeling and Design Space
Andreas Peter Burg, Adam Shmuel Teman, Robert Giterman, Andrea Bonetti
Among the different types of DRAMs, gain-cell embedded DRAM (GC-eDRAM) is a compact, low-power and CMOS-compatible alternative to conventional SRAM. GC-eDRAM achieves high memory density as it relies on a storage cell that can be implemented with as few as ...
IEEE2020Prefetched Address Translation
Edouard Bugnion, Boris Robert Grot, Dmitrii Ustiugov
With explosive growth in dataset sizes and increasing machine memory capacities, per-application memory footprints are commonly reaching into hundreds of GBs. Such huge datasets pressure the TLB, resulting in frequent misses that must be resolved through a ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2019Timely and cost-efficient data exploration through adaptive tuning
Modern applications accumulate data at an exponentially increasing rate and traditional database systems struggle to keep up.
Decision support systems used in industry, rely heavily on data analysis, and require real-time responses irrespective of data siz ...
EPFL2019Near-Memory Address Translation
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 ...
EPFL2017Enabling efficient OS paging for main-memory OLTP databases
Anastasia Ailamaki, Radu Ioan Stoica
Even though main memory is becoming large enough to fit most OLTP databases, it may not always be the best option. OLTP workloads typically exhibit skewed access patterns where some records are hot (frequently accessed) but many records are cold (infrequen ...
