Chip multicore processors (CMPs) have emerged as the dominant architecture choice for
modern computing platforms and will most likely continue to be dominant well into the …

Data centers are increasingly employing virtualization and consolidation as a means to
support a large number of disparate applications running simultaneously on server …

Ensuring the quality of service (QoS) for latency-sensitive applications while allowing co-
locations of multiple applications on servers is critical for improving server utilization and …

Cloud services are rapidly gaining adoption due to the promises of cost efficiency,
availability, and on-demand scaling. To achieve these promises, cloud providers share …

This paper investigates the problem of partitioning a shared cache between multiple
concurrently executing applications. The commonly used LRU policy implicitly partitions a …

DRAM consists of multiple resources called banks that can be accessed in parallel and
independently maintain state information. In Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) multicore …

In a chip-multiprocessor (CMP) system, the DRAM system isshared among cores. In a
shared DRAM system, requests from athread can not only delay requests from other threads …

DRAM memory is a major resource shared among cores in a chip multiprocessor (CMP)
system. Memory requests from different threads can interfere with each other. Existing …

Cores in a chip-multiprocessor (CMP) system share multiple hardware resources in the
memory subsystem. If resource sharing is unfair, some applications can be delayed …

In a multi-core system, interference at shared resources (such as caches and main memory)
slows down applications running on different cores. Accurately estimating the slowdown of …
