Recent research advocates using large die-stacked DRAM caches to break the memory bandwidth wall. Existing DRAM cache designs fall into one of two categories — block-based and page-based. The former organize data in conventional blocks (e.g., 64B), ensurin ...
These-dimensional (3-D) memory stacking is one of the most promising solutions to memory bandwidth problems in chip multiprocessors. In this work, we propose an efficient runtime 3-D cache management technique which takes advantage of the lower latencies t ...
A recent PVLDB paper reports on experimental analyses of ten spatial join techniques in main memory. We build on this comprehensive study to raise awareness of the fact that empirical running time performance findings in main-memory settings are results of ...
Instruction-grain monitoring is a powerful approach that enables a wide spectrum of bug-finding tools. As existing software approaches incur prohibitive runtime overhead, researchers have focused on hardware support for instruction-grain monitoring. A recu ...
Digital video broadcasting (DVB-C2) and other modern communication standards increase diversity by means of a symbol-level interleaver that spans over several codewords. Deinterleaving at the receiver requires a large memory, which has a significant impact ...

This contribution proposes a comparative analysis of the original and transformed domestic layout in recent renovations of late 18th and early 19th century housing in Lisbon’s Baixa Pombalina. We specifically look at modifications of room function and conn ...

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 ...
Gain-cell-based embedded dynamic random-access memory (DRAMs) are a potential high-density alternative to mainstream static random-access memory (SRAM). However, the limited data retention time of these dynamic bitcells results in the need for power-consum ...
The operating system storage stack is an important software component, but it faces several reliability threats. The research community has come up with many solutions to address individual parts of this reliability problem. However, when considering the b ...
We propose a new system-level abstraction, the lightweight immutable execution snapshot, which combines the immutable characteristics of checkpoints with the direct integration into the virtual memory subsystem of standard mutable address spaces. The abstr ...
