Software-controlled heterogeneous memory systems have the potential to increase the
performance and cost efficiency of computing systems. However they can only deliver on …

The variety and complexity of microservices in warehouse-scale data centers has grown
precipitously over the last few years to support a growing user base and an evolving product …

Contemporary discrete GPUs support rich memory management features such as virtual
memory and demand paging. These features simplify GPU programming by providing a …

Processors and operating systems (OSes) support multiple memory page sizes. Superpages
increase Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) hits, while small pages provide fine-grained …

Translation lookaside buffer (TLB) caches virtual to physical address translation information
and is used in systems ranging from embedded devices to high‐end servers. Because TLB …

Large pages have long been used to mitigate address translation overheads on big-memory
systems, particularly in virtualized environments where TLB miss overheads are severe. We …

Modern C++ servers have memory footprints that vary widely over time, causing persistent
heap fragmentation of up to 2x from long-lived objects allocated during peak memory usage …

With explosive growth in dataset sizes and increasing machine memory capacities, per-
application memory footprints are commonly reaching into hundreds of GBs. Such huge …

Modern discrete GPUs support unified memory and demand paging. Automatic
management of data movement between CPU memory and GPU memory dramatically …

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) exploit large amounts of threadlevel parallelism to
provide high instruction throughput and to efficiently hide long-latency stalls. The resulting …
