Cloud providers widely deploy FPGAs as application-specific accelerators for customer use.
These providers seek to multiplex their FPGAs among customers via virtualization, thereby …

Computers continue to diversify with respect to system designs, emerging memory
technologies, and application memory demands. Unfortunately, continually adapting the …

Today's datacenters demand high-performance, energy-efficient software data planes,
which are widely used in many areas including fast network packet processing, network …

To expand effective memory capacity, hardware memory compression transparently
compresses and packs memory values more densely together in DRAM. This requires …

Conventional virtual memory (VM) frameworks enable a virtual address to flexibly map to
any physical address. This flexibility necessitates large data structures to store virtual-to …

Virtual-to-physical memory translation is becoming an increasingly dominant cost in
workload execution; as data sizes scale, up to four memory accesses are required per …

As the memory footprint of emerging applications continues to increase, the address
translation becomes a critical performance bottleneck owing to frequent misses on the …

Nested/Extended Page Table (EPT) is the current hardware solution for virtualizing memory
in virtualized systems. It induces a significant performance overhead due to the 2D page …

WebGL paves the way for the great development of lightweight rendering applications (eg,
web games). However, the target audience of Cloud-rendering frameworks (eg, Google …

The constant growth of workload size in modern applications is making address translation a
performance bottleneck. In principle, increasing the virtual page size could be …
