Chip multicore processors (CMPs) have emerged as the dominant architecture choice for
modern computing platforms and will most likely continue to be dominant well into the …

As much of the world's computing continues to move into the cloud, the overprovisioning of
computing resources to ensure the performance isolation of latency-sensitive tasks, such as …

This paper investigates the problem of partitioning a shared cache between multiple
concurrently executing applications. The commonly used LRU policy implicitly partitions a …

Performance isolation is a key challenge in cloud computing. Unfortunately, Linux has few
defenses against performance interference in shared resources such as processor caches …

Contention for shared resources on multicore processors remains an unsolved problem in
existing systems despite significant research efforts dedicated to this problem in the past …

In a chip-multiprocessor (CMP) system, the DRAM system isshared among cores. In a
shared DRAM system, requests from athread can not only delay requests from other threads …

DRAM memory is a major resource shared among cores in a chip multiprocessor (CMP)
system. Memory requests from different threads can interfere with each other. Existing …

This paper presents a detailed study of fairness in cache sharing between threads in a chip
multiprocessor (CMP) architecture. Prior work in CMP architectures has only studied …

Cache partitioning has a wide range of uses in CMPs, from guaranteeing quality of service
and controlled sharing to security-related techniques. However, existing cache partitioning …

Cache partitioning is now available in commercial hardware. In theory, software can
leverage cache partitioning to use the last-level cache better and improve performance. In …
