The heap is a critical and widely used component of many applications. Due to its dynamic
nature, combined with the complexity of heap management algorithms, it is also a frequent …

Virtual memory translation has become a key performance bottleneck of memory-intensive
workloads in virtualized cloud environments. On the x86 architecture, a nested translation …

Large memory workloads with favorable locality of reference can benefit by extending the
memory hierarchy across machines. Systems that enable such far memory configurations …

Modern and emerging architectures demand increasingly complex compiler analyses and
transformations. As the emphasis on compiler infrastructure moves beyond support for …

Since the inception of computing, we have been reliant on CPU-powered architectures.
However, today this reliance is challenged by manufacturing limitations (CMOS scaling) …

Compartmentalization effectively prevents initial corruption from turning into a successful
attack. This paper presents O2C, a pioneering system designed to enforce OS kernel …

The abstraction of a shared memory space over separate CPU and GPU memory domains
has eased the burden of portability for many HPC codebases. However, users pay for ease …

The inability to relocate objects in unmanaged languages brings with it a menagerie of
problems. Perhaps the most impactful is memory fragmentation, which has long plagued …

Extending Linux through the kernel module interface can offer immense benefits and
capabilities in high performance computing (HPC). These extensions can also be more …
