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 …

The conventional wisdom is that CPU resources such as cores, caches, and memory
bandwidth must be partitioned to achieve performance isolation between tasks. Both the …

Performance isolation is a key challenge in cloud computing. Unfortunately, Linux has few
defenses against performance interference in shared resources such as processor caches …

Cloud computing offers users the ability to access large pools of computational and storage
resources on demand. Multiple commercial clouds already allow businesses to replace, or …

Modern multi-core processors present new resource management challenges due to the
subtle interactions of simultaneously executing processes sharing on-chip resources …

Over the last decade, addressing quality of service (QoS) in multi-core server platforms has
been growing research topic. QoS techniques have been proposed to address the shared …
