As the number of on-chip cores and memory demands of applications increase, judicious
management of cache resources has become not merely attractive but imperative. Cache …

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 …

This paper studies the impact of L2 cache sharing on threads that simultaneously share the
cache, on a chip multi-processor (CMP) architecture. Cache sharing impacts threads …

This paper proposes dynamic cache partitioning amongst simultaneously executing
processes/threads. We present a general partitioning scheme that can be applied to set …

Measuring the indirect cost of context switch is a challenging problem. In this paper, we
show our results of experimentally quantifying the indirect cost of context switch using a …

We propose a low overhead, online memory monitoring scheme utilizing a set of novel
hardware counters. The counters indicate the marginal gain in cache hits as the size of the …

This paper presents a general solution to the determination of the pose of a perspective
camera with unknown focal length from images of four 3D reference points. Our problem is a …

We propose an Online-Model based Scheme for Cache Allocation for shared cache servers
among cloud block storage devices. OSCA can find a near-optimal configuration scheme at …

To become a credible alternative to specialized hardware, general-purpose networking
needs to offer not only flexibility, but also predictable performance. Recent projects have …

On modern computer systems, the memory performance of an application depends on its
locality. For a single execution, locality-correlated measures like average miss rate or …
