The Memory stress (Mess) framework provides a unified view of the memory system
benchmarking, simulation and application profiling. The Mess benchmark provides a holistic …

In modern server CPUs, last-level cache (LLC) is a critical hardware resource that exerts
significant influence on the performance of the workloads, and how to manage LLC is a key …

A system's memory size is often dictated by worst-case workloads with highest memory
requirements; this causes memory to be underutilized in the common case when the system …

Memory reliability is a key factor in the design of warehouse-scale computers. Prior work has
focused on the performance overheads of memory fault-tolerance schemes when errors do …

Due to the ever-increasing gap between the speed of processing elements and the speed at
which memory systems can feed them with data, current computing systems are often …

Performance tools are the bridge between processor architecture and a user. However, with
the increasingly complex processor architectures, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the …

When an OS allocates memory to a process, it implicitly performs long-term scheduling on
DRAM resources such as channels and banks: Each mapped page frame allows memory …

Datacenters have witnessed a staggering evolution in networking technologies, driven by
insatiable application demands for larger datasets and inter-server data transfers. Modern …

When cluster heads transmit their data to the sink via multi-hop communication, the cluster
heads closer to the sink not only gather the data in its cluster but also forward the data for …

As semiconductor power density is no longer constant with the technology process scaling
down, we need different solutions if we are to continue scaling application performance. To …
