Analyzing multicore dumps to facilitate concurrency bug reproduction
Debugging concurrent programs is difficult. This is primarily because the inherent non-determinism that arises because of scheduler interleavings makes it hard to easily reproduc...

Virtualized and flexible ECC for main memory
We present a general scheme for virtualizing main memory errorcorrection mechanisms, which map redundant information needed to correct errors into the memory namespace itself. We ...

Flexible architectural support for fine-grain scheduling
To make efficient use of CMPs with tens to hundreds of cores, it is often necessary to exploit fine-grain parallelism. However, managing tasks of a few thousand instructions is ...

Dynamic filtering: multi-purpose architecture support for language runtime systems
This paper introduces a new abstraction to accelerate the readbarriers and write-barriers used by language runtime systems. We exploit the fact that, dynamically, many barrier exe...

Shoestring: probabilistic soft error reliability on the cheap
Aggressive technology scaling provides designers with an ever increasing budget of cheaper and faster transistors. Unfortunately, this trend is accompanied by a decline in individ...

Specifying and dynamically verifying address translation-aware memory consistency
Computer systems with virtual memory are susceptible to design bugs and runtime faults in their address translation (AT) systems. Detecting bugs and faults requires a clear speci...

CoreDet: a compiler and runtime system for deterministic multithreaded execution
The behavior of a multithreaded program does not depend only on its inputs. Scheduling, memory reordering, timing, and low-level hardware effects all introduce nondeterminism in t...

ConMem: detecting severe concurrency bugs through an effect-oriented approach
Multicore technology is making concurrent programs increasingly pervasive. Unfortunately, it is difficult to deliver reliable concurrent programs, because of the huge and non-det...

Dynamically replicated memory: building reliable systems from nanoscale resistive memories
DRAM is facing severe scalability challenges in sub-45nm technology nodes due to precise charge placement and sensing hurdles in deep-submicron geometries. Resistive memories, suc...
