Software engineering practices have been steadily moving towards higher-level programming languages and away from lower-level ones. High-level languages tend to greatly improve safety, productivity, and code maintainability because they handle various impl ...
In a non-uniform memory access machine, the placement of software threads to hardware cores can have a significant effect on the performance of concurrent applications. Detecting the best possible placement for each application is a necessity for thread sc ...
RePlAce is a state-of-the-art prototype of a flat, analytic, and nonlinear global cell placement algorithm, which models a placement instance as an electrostatic system with positively charged objects. It can handle large-scale standard-cell and mixed-cell ...
In a drive to maximize resource utilization, today's datacenters are moving to colocation of latency-sensitive and batch workloads on the same server. State-of-the-art deployments, such as those at Google, colocate such diverse workloads even on a single S ...
Database systems access memory either sequentially or randomly. Contrary to sequential access and despite the extensive efforts of
computer architects, compiler writers, and system builders, random access to data larger than the processor cache has been s ...
