Applications extensively use data objects with a regular and fixed layout, which leads to the
recurrence of access patterns over memory regions. Spatial data prefetching techniques …

Data prefetching, ie, the act of predicting an application's future memory accesses and
fetching those that are not in the on-chip caches, is a well-known and widely used approach …

Offset prefetching has been recently proposed as a lowoverhead yet high-performance
approach to eliminate data cache misses or reduce their negative effect. In offset …

Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technology is a promising solution to fulfill the ever-growing
need for higher capacity in the main memory of modern systems. Despite having many great …

Hybrid main memory systems combine both performance and capacity advantages from
heterogeneous memory technologies. With larger capacities, higher associativities, and finer …

This paper proposes Blenda, a dynamically-partitioned memory-cache blend architecture for
giga-scale die-stacked DRAMs. Blenda architects the stacked DRAM partly as memory and …

Data prefetching, ie, the act of predicting application's future memory accesses and fetching
those that are not in the on-chip caches, is a well-known and widely-used approach to hide …

L1 instruction (L1-I) cache misses are a source of performance bottleneck. Sequential
prefetchers are simple solutions to mitigate this problem; however, prior work has shown that …

Die-stacked DRAM has emerged as an effective approach to address the memory
bandwidth wall as it offers much higher bandwidth than off-chip DRAM. It is typically used …

Server workloads like Media Streaming and Web Search serve millions of users and are
considered an important class of applications. Such workloads run on large-scale data …
