Workload consolidation is a widely-used technique to maximize server resource utilization in
cloud and datacenter computing. Recent commodity CPUs support last-level cache (LLC) …

Timing channels enable data leakage that threatens the security of computer systems, from
cloud platforms to smartphones and browsers executing untrusted third-party code …

Memory bandwidth is a highly performance-critical shared resource on modern computer
systems. To prevent the contention on memory bandwidth among the collocated workloads …

Public cloud providers offer access to hardware resources and users rent resources by
choosing among many VM sizes. While users choose the CPU core count and main memory …

With the rapid growth in memory demands, the slowdown of DRAM scaling, and the DRAM
price fluctuations, DRAM has become one of the critical resources in cloud computing …

Recent CPUs have begun to adopt non-inclusive cache hierarchies for more effective cache
utilization. Non-inclusive cache hierarchies have an additional advantage in that they …

Workload consolidation is a widely-used technique to improve the resource utilization of
services computing systems by consolidating latency-critical (LC) and batch workloads on …

To achieve contiguous growth of compute power, computer architectures have become
increasingly complicated as a result of consolidating more and more functional features on …

Thread packing (TP) is an effective and widely-used technique to significantly improve the
efficiency of parallel systems by dynamically controlling the number of cores allocated to …

In this work, we conduct in-depth characterization to quantify the impact of DRAM refresh,
the location of the target memory object within a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) node …
