We present FireSim, an open-source simulation platform that enables cycle-exact
microarchitectural simulation of large scale-out clusters by combining FPGA-accelerated …

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 …

The increasing demand for extracting value out of ever-growing data poses an ongoing
challenge to system designers, a task only made trickier by the end of Dennard scaling. As …

Online data-intensive services, such as search, serve billions of users, utilize millions of
cores, and comprise a significant and growing portion of datacenter-scale workloads …

DRAM technology scaling has the undesirable side effect of degrading cell reliability. One
such concern of deeply scaled DRAMs is the increased coupling between adjacent cells …

Computer systems designers are building cache hierarchies with higher capacity to capture
the ever-increasing working sets of modern workloads. Cache hierarchies with higher …

The memory system is a major performance determinant for server processors. Ever-
