Chip multicore processors (CMPs) have emerged as the dominant architecture choice for
modern computing platforms and will most likely continue to be dominant well into the …

Data centers are increasingly employing virtualization and consolidation as a means to
support a large number of disparate applications running simultaneously on server …

As much of the world's computing continues to move into the cloud, the overprovisioning of
computing resources to ensure the performance isolation of latency-sensitive tasks, such as …

Contention for shared resources on multicore processors remains an unsolved problem in
existing systems despite significant research efforts dedicated to this problem in the past …

We describe the design and implementation of DeepDive, a system for transparently
identifying and managing performance interference between virtual machines (VMs) co …

With the widespread adoption of multicore architectures, multiprocessors are now a
standard deployment platform for (soft) real-time applications. This dissertation addresses …

Cache partitioning is now available in commercial hardware. In theory, software can
leverage cache partitioning to use the last-level cache better and improve performance. In …

Over the last decade, addressing quality of service (QoS) in multi-core server platforms has
been growing research topic. QoS techniques have been proposed to address the shared …

Many multi-core processors employ a large last-level cache (LLC) shared among the
multiple cores. Past research has demonstrated that sharing-oblivious cache management …

Virtualization is an essential technology in modern datacenters. Despite advantages such as
security isolation, fault isolation, and environment isolation, current virtualization techniques …
