This book describes several approaches to adaptability that are applied for the optimization
of parallel applications, such as thread-level parallelism exploitation and dynamic voltage …

Intel Optane memory offers non-volatility, byte addressability, and high capacity. It suits
managed workloads that prefer large main memory heaps. We investigate Optane as the …

The pursuit of power-efficiency is popularizing asymmetric multicore processors (AMP) such
as ARM big. LITTLE, Apple M1 and recent Intel Alder Lake with big and little cores. However …

Energy efficiency is considered to be a critical concern for modern hardware and a variety of
hardware features have been developed to improve the energy balance for executing …

Making modern computer systems energy-efficient is of paramount importance. Dynamic
Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) is widely used to manage the energy and power …

Analytical performance modeling is a useful complement to detailed cycle-level simulation to
quickly explore the design space in an early design stage. Mechanistic analytical modeling …

High-performance, multi-core processors are the key to accelerating workloads in several
application domains. To continue to scale performance at the limit of Moore's Law and …

A dual-OS platform can efficiently implement emerging mixed-criticality systems by
consolidating a real-time OS (RTOS) and a general-purpose OS (GPOS). Although the dual …

Highly-parallel, high-performance scientific applications must maximize performance inside
of a power envelope while maintaining scalability. Emergent parallel and distributed …

Heterogeneous processors (eg, ARM's big. LITTLE) improve performance in power-
constrained environments by executing applications on the 'little'low-power core and move …
