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 …

User-facing, latency-sensitive services, such as websearch, underutilize their computing
resources during daily periods of low traffic. Reusing those resources for other tasks is rarely …

As the number of on-chip cores and memory demands of applications increase, judicious
management of cache resources has become not merely attractive but imperative. Cache …

This paper investigates the problem of partitioning a shared cache between multiple
concurrently executing applications. The commonly used LRU policy implicitly partitions a …

Cache partitioning has a wide range of uses in CMPs, from guaranteeing quality of service
and controlled sharing to security-related techniques. However, existing cache partitioning …

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

Cache partitioning is now available in commercial hardware. In theory, software can
leverage cache partitioning to use the last-level cache better and improve performance. In …

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 …

Many multi-core processors employ a large last-level cache (LLC) shared among the
multiple cores. Past research has demonstrated that sharing-oblivious cache management …

Cache partitioning and sharing is critical to the effective utilization of multicore processors.
However, almost all existing studies have been evaluated by simulation that often has …
