1. 1. Understanding Multicore Performance : Efficient Memory System Modeling and Simulation

   Författare :Andreas Sandberg; Erik Hagersten; David Black-Schaffer; David A. Wood; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Architecture; Simulation; Modeling; Sampling; Caches; Memory Systems; gem5; Parallel Simulation; Virtualization; Sampling; Multicore; Datavetenskap; Computer Science;

   Sammanfattning : To increase performance, modern processors employ complex techniques such as out-of-order pipelines and deep cache hierarchies. While the increasing complexity has paid off in performance, it has become harder to accurately predict the effects of hardware/software optimizations in such systems. LÄS MER

3. 2. Hiding and Reducing Memory Latency : Energy-Efficient Pipeline and Memory System Techniques

   Författare :Andreas Sembrant; David Black-Schaffer; Erik Hagersten; David A. Wood; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Memory accesses in modern processors are both far slower and vastly more energy-expensive than the actual computations. To improve performance, processors spend a significant amount of energy and resources trying to hide and reduce the memory latency. LÄS MER

4. 3. Towards Scalable Performance Analysis of MPI Parallel Applications

   Författare :Xavier Aguilar; Erwin Laure; David Black-Schaffer; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; parallel computing; performance monitoring; performance tools; event flow graphs; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Sammanfattning :   A considerably fraction of science discovery is nowadays relying on computer simulations. High Performance Computing  (HPC) provides scientists with the means to simulate processes ranging from climate modeling to protein folding. LÄS MER

5. 4. Rethinking Dynamic Instruction Scheduling and Retirement for Efficient Microarchitectures

   Författare :Mehdi Alipour; David Black-Schaffer; Stefanos Kaxiras; Mikko H. Lipasti; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Out-of-Order Processors; Energy-Efficient; High-Performance; Instruction Scheduling; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Out-of-order execution is one of the main micro-architectural techniques used to improve the performance of both single- and multi-threaded processors. The application of such a processor varies from mobile devices to server computers. LÄS MER

7. 5. Leveraging Existing Microarchitectural Structures to Improve First-Level Caching Efficiency

   Författare :Ricardo Alves; David Black-Schaffer; Stefanos Kaxiras; Mattan Erez; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Energy Efficient Caching; Memory Architecture; Single Thread Performance; First-Level Caching; Out-of-Order Pipelines; Instruction Scheduling; Filter-Cache; Way-Prediction; Value-Prediction; Register-Sharing.;

   Sammanfattning : Low-latency data access is essential for performance. To achieve this, processors use fast first-level caches combined with out-of-order execution, to decrease and hide memory access latency respectively. LÄS MER
