To meet the needs of a diverse range of workloads, asymmetric multicore processors
(AMPs) have been proposed, which feature cores of different microarchitecture or ISAs …

Large-scale datacenters (DCs) host tens of thousands of diverse applications each day.
However, interference between colocated workloads and the difficulty to match applications …

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 …

Single-ISA heterogeneous multi-core processors are typically composed of small (eg, in-
order) power-efficient cores and big (eg, out-of-order) high-performance cores. The …

We investigate the use of SmartNIC-accelerated servers to execute microservice-based
applications in the data center. By offloading suitable microservices to the SmartNIC's low …

Heterogeneous architectures that integrate a mix of big and small cores are very attractive
because they can achieve high single-threaded performance while enabling high …

Execution time is no longer the only metric by which computational systems are judged. In
fact, explicitly sacrificing raw performance in exchange for energy savings is becoming a …

The Intel® Core™ i7 processor code named Nehalem has a novel feature called Turbo
Boost which dynamically varies the frequencies of the processor's cores. The frequency of a …

In multicore systems, shared resources such as caches or the memory subsystem can lead
to contention between applications running on different cores, entailing reduced …

Interference between co-scheduled applications is one of the major reasons that causes
modern datacenters (DCs) to operate at low utilization. DC operators traditionally side-step …
