In this paper, we examine a ready-to-use, robust, and computationally fast fixed-size
memory pool manager with no-loops and no-memory overhead that is highly suited towards …

Modern parallel architectures have both heterogeneous processors and deep, complex
memory hierarchies. We present Legion, a programming model and runtime system for …

Memory deduplication, a well-known technique to reduce the memory footprint across virtual
machines, is now also a default-on feature inside the Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 …

This thesis addresses the challenges of building a software system for general-purpose
runtime code manipulation. Modern applications, with dynamically-loaded modules and …

In recent years, the deployment of many application-level countermeasures against memory
errors and the increasing number of vulnerabilities discovered in the kernel has fostered a …

At global user population scale, important microservices in warehouse-scale data centers
can grow to account for an enormous installed base of servers. With the end of Dennard …

We present Low*, a language for low-level programming and verification, and its application
to high-assurance optimized cryptographic libraries. Low* is a shallow embedding of a …

This paper explores and quantifies garbage collection behavior for three whole heap
collectors and generational counterparts: copying semi-space, mark-sweep, and reference …

This paper describes Automatic Pool Allocation, a transformation framework that segregates
distinct instances of heap-based data structures into seperate memory pools and allows …

Modern C++ servers have memory footprints that vary widely over time, causing persistent
heap fragmentation of up to 2x from long-lived objects allocated during peak memory usage …
