Next-generation non-volatile memories (NVMs) promise DRAM-like performance, persistence, and high density. They can attach directly to processors to form non-volatile main memory ...
We introduce “asynchronized concurrency (ASCY),” a paradigm consisting of four complementary programming patterns. ASCY calls for the design of concurrent search data structur...
Motivated by rapid software and hardware innovation in warehouse-scale computing (WSC), we visit the problem of warehouse-scale network design evaluation. A WSC is composed of abo...

Non-CPU devices on a modern system-on-a-chip (SoC), ranging from accelerators to I/O controllers, account for a significant portion of the chip area. It is therefore vital for sy...

Processor implementation errata remain a problem, and worse, a subset of these bugs are security-critical. We classified 7 years of errata from recent commercial processors to un...

Finite State Machine (FSM) is the backbone of an important class of applications in many domains. Its parallelization has been extremely difficult due to inherent strong dependen...
Data races are common. They are difficult to detect, avoid, or eliminate, and programmers sometimes introduce them intentionally. However, shared-memory programs with data races ...
