Many modern and emerging applications must process increasingly large volumes of data.
Unfortunately, prevalent computing paradigms are not designed to efficiently handle such …

Emerging nonvolatile memory technologies (NVRAM) promise the performance of DRAM
with the persistence of disk. However, constraining NVRAM write order, necessary to ensure …

Currently multi-threaded C or C++ programs combine a single-threaded programming
language with a separate threads library. This is not entirely sound [7]. We describe an effort …

Increases in on-chip communication delay and the large working sets of server and scientific
workloads complicate the design of the on-chip last-level cache for multicore processors …

Specialized on-chip accelerators are widely used to improve the energy efficiency of
computing systems. Recent advances in memory technology have enabled near-data …

Systems featuring a load-store interface to persistent memory (PM) are expected soon,
making in-memory persistent data structures feasible. Ensuring persistent data structure …

Many modern computer systems, including homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures,
support shared memory in hardware. In a shared memory system, each of the processor …

Prior research indicates that there is much spatial variation in applications' memory access
patterns. Modern memory systems, however, use small fixed-size cache blocks and as such …

While Sequential Consistency (SC) is the most intuitive memory consistency model and the
one most programmers likely assume, current multiprocessors do not support it. Instead …

Support for deterministic replay of multithreaded execution can greatly help in finding
concurrency bugs. For highest effectiveness, replay schemes should (i) record at production …
