Serializing instructions in system-intensive workloads: Amdahl's Law strikes again
Serializing instructions (SIs), such as writes to control registers, have many complex dependencies, and are difficult to execute out-of-order (OoO). To avoid unnecessary complexi...

Gaining insights into multicore cache partitioning: Bridging the gap between simulation and real systems
Cache partitioning and sharing is critical to the effective utilization of multicore processors. However, almost all existing studies have been evaluated by simulation that often ...

Computer generation of fast fourier transforms for the cell broadband engine
The Cell BE is a multicore processor with eight vector accelerators (called SPEs) that implement explicit cache management through direct memory access engines. While the Cell has...

Extending SSD Lifetimes with Disk-Based Write Caches
We present Griffin, a hybrid storage device that uses a hard disk drive (HDD) as a write cache for a Solid State Device (SSD). Griffin is motivated by two observations: First, HDD...

Offering a Precision-Performance Tradeoff for Aggregation Queries over Replicated Data
Strict consistency of replicated data is infeasible or not required by many distributed applications, so current systems often permit stale replication, in which cached copies of ...
