An Implementation of Page Allocation Shaping for Energy Efficiency
Main memory in many tera-scale systems requires tens of kilowatts of power. The resulting energy consumption increases system cost and the heat produced reduces reliability. Emerg...

Analysis of Kernel Effects on Optimisation Mismatch in Cache Reconfiguration
The effect of kernel operations on cache optimisations in a soft-core reconfigurable system is important for dynamic cache switching design. Considering kernel operations changes ...

Buffer Sizing for Self-timed Stream Programs on Heterogeneous Distributed Memory Multiprocessors
Abstract. Stream programming is a promising way to expose concurrency to the compiler. A stream program is built from kernels that communicate only via point-to-point streams. The ...

Reducing performance non-determinism via cache-aware page allocation strategies
Performance non-determinism in computer systems complicates evaluation, use, and even development of these systems. In performance evaluation via benchmarking and simulation, nond...
