Writes Hurt: Lessons in Cache Design for Optane NVRAM
Alexandra Fedorova, Keith Smith, Keith Bostic +3
Intel OptaneTM DC Persistent Memory resides on the memory bus and approaches DRAM in access latency. One avenue for its adoption is to employ it in place of persistent storage; ano…
Trash Talk: Accelerating Garbage Collection on Integrated GPUs is Worthless
Mohammad Dashti, Alexandra Fedorova
Systems integrating heterogeneous processors with unified memory provide seamless integration among these processors with minimal development complexity. These systems integrate ac…
Bandwidth-Efficient Transaction Relay for Bitcoin
Gleb Naumenko, Gregory Maxwell, Pieter Wuille +2
Bitcoin is a top-ranked cryptocurrency that has experienced huge growth and survived numerous attacks. The protocols making up Bitcoin must therefore accommodate the growth of the…
Priority-based Parameter Propagation for Distributed DNN Training
Anand Jayarajan, Jinliang Wei, Garth Gibson +2
Data parallel training is widely used for scaling distributed deep neural network (DNN) training. However, the performance benefits are often limited by the communication-heavy par…
DINAMITE: A modern approach to memory performance profiling
Svetozar Miucin, Conor Brady, Alexandra Fedorova
Diagnosing and fixing performance problems on multicore machines with deep memory hierarchies is extremely challenging. Certain problems are best addressed when we can analyze the…
Performance monitoring for multicore embedded computing systems on FPGAs
Lesley Shannon, Eric Matthews, Nicholas Doyle +1
When designing modern embedded computing systems, most software programmers choose to use multicore processors, possibly in combination with general-purpose graphics processing uni…
Scaling Turbo Boost to a 1000 cores
Ananth Narayan S, Somsubhra Sharangi, Alexandra Fedorova
The Intel Core i7 processor code named Nehalem provides a feature named Turbo Boost which opportunistically varies the frequencies of the processor's cores. The frequency of a core…
