We present SonicBOOM, the third generation of the Berkeley Outof-Order Machine (BOOM).
SonicBOOM is an open-source RTL implementation of a RISC-V superscalar out-of-order …

Simple graph algorithms such as PageRank have been the target of numerous hardware
accelerators. Yet, there also exist much more complex graph mining algorithms for problems …

Graph processing is an important analysis technique for a wide range of big data
applications. The ability to explicitly represent relationships between entities gives graph …

Artificial intelligence has been showing accelerated growth due to its use in solving
problems in several application domains. This success results from the convergence of large …

Optical on-chip communication is considered a promising candidate to overcome latency
and energy bottlenecks of electrical interconnects. Although recently proposed hybrid …

Object serialization and deserialization (S/D) is an essential feature for efficient
communication between distributed computing nodes with potentially non-uniform execution …

Graph analysis is a critical task in many fields, such as social networking, epidemiology,
bioinformatics, and fraud de-tection. In particular, understanding and inferring relationships …

The architecture design of peta-scale computing systems is complex and presents lots of
difficulties to designs, as current tools lack support for relevant features of future scenarios …

Associative access is widely used in fundamental microarchitectural components, such as
caches and TLBs. However, associative (or content addressable) memories (CAMs) have …

General-purpose serial-thread performance gains have become more difficult for industry to
realize due to the slowing down of process improvements. In this new regime of poor …
