Caching and Neutrality

Aikaterini Argyraki, Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Muhammad Abdullah

We are used to defining network neutrality as absence of traffic differentiation, like policing or shaping. These mechanisms, however, are often not what determines end-users’ quality of experience (QoE). Most content today is accessed through edge caches, ...

HPCache: memory-efficient OLAP through proportional caching revisited

Anastasia Ailamaki, Periklis Chrysogelos, Hamish Mcniece Hill Nicholson

Analytical engines rely on in-memory data caching to avoid storage accesses and provide timely responses by keeping the most frequently accessed data in memory. Purely frequency- and time-based caching decisions, however, are a proxy of the expected query ...

Request, Coalesce, Serve, and Forget: Miss-Optimized Memory Systems for Bandwidth-Bound Cache-Unfriendly Applications on FPGAs

Paolo Ienne, Mikhail Asiatici

Applications such as large-scale sparse linear algebra and graph analytics are challenging to accelerate on FPGAs due to the short irregular memory accesses, resulting in low cache hit rates. Nonblocking caches reduce the bandwidth required by misses by re ...

Dynamic Personalized Ranking

Jérémie Rappaz

Personalized ranking methods are at the core of many systems that learn to produce recommendations from user feedbacks. Their primary objective is to identify relevant items from very large vocabularies and to assist users in discovering new content. These ...

Rebooting Virtual Memory with Midgard

Babak Falsafi, Atri Bhattacharyya, Siddharth Gupta, Mathias Josef Payer, Yunho Oh, Abhishek Bhattacharjee

Computer systems designers are building cache hierarchies with higher capacity to capture the ever-increasing working sets of modern workloads. Cache hierarchies with higher capacity improve system performance but shift the performance bottleneck to addres ...

Rethinking Software Runtimes for Disaggregated Memory

Ivan Puddu, Sanidhya Kashyap

Disaggregated memory can address resource provisioning inefficiencies in current datacenters. Multiple software runtimes for disaggregated memory have been proposed in an attempt to make disaggregated memory practical. These systems rely on the virtual mem ...

Micro-architectural analysis of in-memory OLTP: Revisited

Anastasia Ailamaki, Danica Porobic, Utku Sirin

Micro-architectural behavior of traditional disk-based online transaction processing (OLTP) systems has been investigated extensively over the past couple of decades. Results show that traditional OLTP systems mostly under-utilize the available micro-archi ...

Large-Scale Graph Processing on FPGAs with Caches for Thousands of Simultaneous Misses

Paolo Ienne, Mikhail Asiatici

Efficient large-scale graph processing is crucial to many disciplines. Yet, while graph algorithms naturally expose massive parallelism opportunities, their performance is limited by the memory system because of irregular memory accesses. State-of-the-art ...

Tackling Peer-to-Peer Discrimination in the Sharing Economy

Boi Faltings, Maxime Rutagarama, Naman Goel

Sharing economy platforms such as Airbnb and Uber face a major challenge in the form of peer-to-peer discrimination based on sensitive personal attributes such as race and gender. As shown by a recent study under controlled settings, reputation systems can ...

Successive Refinement to Caching for Dynamic Requests

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Pinar Sen

In the celebrated coded caching problem studied by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, the peak-traffic network load is to be reduced by first caching some information about contents into individual memories of end users during the off-peak hours and then upon user req ...

Caching (Bivariate) Gaussians

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Guillaume Jean Op 't Veld

Caching is a technique that alleviates networks during peak hours by transmitting partial information before a request for any is made. In a lossy setting of Gaussian databases, we study a single-user model in which good caching strategies minimize the dat ...

Successive Refinement to Caching for Dynamic Content

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Pinar Sen

To reduce the network load during peak hours, servers deliver partial data to users during the off-peak time of the network before the actual requests are known, which is known as caching. This paper studies a single user caching problem in which the file ...

Stop Crying Over Your Cache Miss Rate: Handling Efficiently Thousands of Outstanding Misses in FPGAs

Paolo Ienne, Mikhail Asiatici

FPGAs rely on massive datapath parallelism to accelerate applications even with a low clock frequency. However, applications such as sparse linear algebra and graph analytics have their throughput limited by irregular accesses to external memory for which ...
