Software-controlled heterogeneous memory systems have the potential to increase the
performance and cost efficiency of computing systems. However they can only deliver on …

The variety and complexity of microservices in warehouse-scale data centers has grown
precipitously over the last few years to support a growing user base and an evolving product …

Contemporary discrete GPUs support rich memory management features such as virtual
memory and demand paging. These features simplify GPU programming by providing a …

Effective huge page management in operating systems is necessary for mitigation of
address translation overheads. However, this continues to remain a difficult area in OS …

With explosive growth in dataset sizes and increasing machine memory capacities, per-
application memory footprints are commonly reaching into hundreds of GBs. Such huge …

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) exploit large amounts of threadlevel parallelism to
provide high instruction throughput and to efficiently hide long-latency stalls. The resulting …

As memory capacity has outstripped TLB coverage, large data applications suffer from
frequent page table walks. We investigate two complementary techniques for addressing …

The unprecedented growth in the memory needs of emerging memory-intensive workloads
has made virtual memory translation a major performance bottleneck. To address this …

To mitigate excessive TLB misses in large memory applications, techniques such as large
pages, variable length segments, and HW coalescing, increase the coverage of limited …

Virtual memory (VM) eases programming effort but can suffer from high address translation
overheads. Architects have traditionally coped by increasing Translation Lookaside Buffer …
