Prefetched Address Translation

Edouard Bugnion, Boris Robert Grot, Dmitrii Ustiugov

With explosive growth in dataset sizes and increasing machine memory capacities, per-application memory footprints are commonly reaching into hundreds of GBs. Such huge datasets pressure the TLB, resulting in frequent misses that must be resolved through a ...

New approaches for track reconstruction in LHCb's Vertex Locator

Sébastien Ponce, Dylan Teo Sommers Bourgeois

Starting with Upgrade 1 in 2021, LHCb will move to a purely software-based trigger system. Therefore, the new trigger strategy is to process events at the full rate of 30MHz. Given that the increase of CPU performance has slowed down in recent years, the p ...

Efficient Dynamic Optimisation Heuristics for Dataflow Pipelines

Marco Mattavelli, Endri Bezati, Simone Casale Brunet, Anatoly Prihozhy

Large dataflow designs appear as a result of functional specification of modern complex digital systems and/ or a result of unfolding and behavioral transformation of looped and branched programs. Since deep-submicron silicon technology provides large amou ...

Low-Overhead Dynamic Instruction Mix Generation using Hybrid Basic Block Profiling

Willy Zwaenepoel, Andrzej Pawel Nowak

Dynamic instruction mixes form an important part of the toolkits of performance tuners, compiler writers, and CPU architects. Instruction mixes are traditionally generated using software instrumentation, an accurate yet slow method, that is normally limite ...

Multi-time scale coordination of complementary resources for the provision of ancillary services

Colin Neil Jones, Christophe Salzmann, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Faran Ahmed Qureshi, Luca Fabietti

This paper presents a predictive control scheme for coordinating a set of heterogeneous and complementary resources at different time scales for the provision of ancillary services. In particular, we combine building thermodynamics (slow), and energy stora ...

Intra- and extra-axonal axial diffusivities in the white matter: Which one is faster?

Nicolas Kunz, Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Analina Raquel Hausin

A two-compartment model of diffusion in white matter, which accounts for intra- and extra-axonal spaces, is associated with two plausible mathematical scenarios: either the intra-axonal axial diffusivity Da,‖ is higher than the extra-axonal De,‖ (Branch 1) ...

Unified prefetching into instruction cache and branch target buffer

Babak Falsafi, Boris Robert Grot, Ilknur Cansu Kaynak

A system and method of coupling a Branch Target Buffer (BTB) content of a BTB with an instruction cache content of an instruction cache. The method includes: tagging a plurality of target buffer entries that belong to branches within a same instruction blo ...

Easy and Accurate Hardware-based Program Performance Monitoring

Andrzej Pawel Nowak

The performance monitoring of computer systems is a complex affair, made even more challenging by the increasing gap between hardware and software. Methods that collect and feed data to performance analysis can usually be classified into one of two groups. ...

Circuit Design, Architecture and CAD for RRAM-based FPGAs

Xifan Tang

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been indispensable components of embedded systems and datacenter infrastructures. However, energy efficiency of FPGAs has become a hard barrier preventing their expansion to more application contexts, due to two ...

Axially Equilibrated Displacement-based Beam Element: Implementation in OpenSees and Application to Dynamic Analysis of Structures

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Danilo Tarquini

Experimental tests on the inelastic behavior of RC bridge piers have shown that, due to tension shift effects, the curvature profile above the base section of the structural member differs from the one that would develop according to a force-based or a cla ...

Hierarchical status predicts behavioral vulnerability and nucleus accumbens metabolic profile following chronic social defeat stress

Rolf Gruetter, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Hongxia Lei, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Thomas Didier Larrieu

Extensive data highlight the existence of major differences in individuals’ susceptibility to stress [1; 2; 3 ; 4]. While genetic factors [5 ; 6] and exposure to early life stress [7 ; 8] are key components for such neurobehavioral diversity, intriguing ob ...

When Constant-time Source Yields Variable-time Binary: Exploiting Curve25519-donna Built with MSVC 2015

Serge Vaudenay

The elliptic curve Curve25519 has been presented as pro- tected against state-of-the-art timing attacks [2]. This paper shows that a timing attack is still achievable against a particular X25519 implemen- tation which follows the RFC 7748 requirements [11] ...
