Scalable and flexible communication networks increasingly conduct the packet processing
for Network Functions (NFs) in General Purpose Computing (GPC) platforms. The …

NUMA systems are characterized by Non-Uniform Memory Access times, where accessing
data in a remote node takes longer than a local access. NUMA hardware has been built …

Graph-structured analytics has been widely adopted in a number of big data applications
such as social computation, web-search and recommendation systems. Though much prior …

It is well known that the placement of threads and memory plays a crucial role for
performance on NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory-Access) systems. The conventional wisdom is …

Shared memory architectures have recently experienced a large increase in thread-level
parallelism, leading to complex memory hierarchies with multiple cache memory levels and …

Novel trusted execution technologies such as Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX) are
considered a cure to many security risks in clouds. This is achieved by offering trusted …

High-performance servers are Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) machines. To fully
leverage these machines, programmers need efficient concurrent data structures that are …

To harness a heterogeneous memory hierarchy, it is advantageous to integrate application
knowledge in guiding frequent memory move, ie, replicating or migrating virtual memory …

Almost all of today's microprocessors contain memory controllers and directly attach to
memory. Modern multiprocessor systems support non-uniform memory access (NUMA): it is …

The parallelism in shared-memory systems has increased significantly with the advent and
evolution of multicore processors. Current systems include several multicore and …
