Serverless computing is a rapidly growing cloud application model, popularized by
Amazon's Lambda platform. Serverless cloud services provide fine-grained provisioning of …

Heterogeneous computing systems combine different types of compute elements that share
memory. A specific class of heterogeneous systems discussed in this paper pairs traditional …

Applications extensively use data objects with a regular and fixed layout, which leads to the
recurrence of access patterns over memory regions. Spatial data prefetching techniques …

Scale-out datacenters mandate high per-server throughput to get the maximum benefit from
the large TCO investment. Emerging applications (eg, data serving and web search) that run …

In this paper, we present the most extensive comparison of synchronization techniques. We
evaluate 5 different synchronization techniques through a series of 31 data structure …

Data prefetching, ie, the act of predicting an application's future memory accesses and
fetching those that are not in the on-chip caches, is a well-known and widely used approach …

Key-value stores, such as Memcached, have been used to scale web services since the
beginning of the Web 2.0 era. Data center real estate is expensive, and several industry …

Abstract Domain-specific architectures (DSAs) or hardware accelerators are typical
innovations that are leading computer architecture into a new golden age. In a …

Traditional datacenter systems advocate the use of high-performance hardware, resulting in
increased power consumption and cooling costs. With increasing availability of systems …

Lack of energy proportionality in server systems results in significant waste of energy when
operating at low utilization, a common scenario in today's data centers. We propose DIMMer …
