Analytical cache models with applications to cache partitioning
An accurate, tractable, analytic cache model for time-shared systems is presented, which estimates the overall cache missrate of a multiprocessing system with any cache size and t...

Context switch overheads for Linux on ARM platforms
Context switching imposes a performance penalty on threads in a multitasking environment. The source of this penalty is both direct overhead due to running the context switch code...

Adaptive Caches: Effective Shaping of Cache Behavior to Workloads
We present and evaluate the idea of adaptive processor cache management. Specifically, we describe a novel and general scheme by which we can combine any two cache management alg...

Quantifying the cost of context switch
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 ...
