Seven at one stroke: results from a cache-oblivious paradigm for scalable matrix algorithms
A blossoming paradigm for block-recursive matrix algorithms is presented that, at once, attains excellent performance measured by • time, • TLB misses, • L1 misses, • L2 m...

A case for compiler-driven superpage allocation
Most modern microprocessor-based systems provide support for superpages both at the hardware and software level. Judicious use of superpages can significantly cut down the number...

Practical, Transparent Operating System Support for Superpages
Most general-purpose processors provide support for memory pages of large sizes, called superpages. Superpages enable each entry in the translation lookaside buffer (TLB) to map a...

Reevaluating Online Superpage Promotion with Hardware Support
fipical translation lookaside buffers (TLBs)can map a far smaller region of memory than application footprints demand, and the cost of handling TLB misses therefore limits the per...
