When Contention Meets Heterogeneity

Speaker:  Xipeng Shen – Raleigh, NC, United States
Topic(s):  Software Engineering and Programming

Abstract

Heterogeneity is becoming a norm in modern computer architectures. How to optimize the designs of such architectures and how to make programs run efficiently on such systems are two fundamental problems that have drawn much attention in the last decade. Most of those studies have however assumed a clean single-program execution scenario. But the reality is often different: Multiple programs sharing a single machine is common, with them each competing for all kinds of resources, from computing units to memory and bandwidth. As a result, many of the careful designs and optimizations end up with a poor performance delivery in practice. This talk will examine the challenges, present some promising findings, and point out some future directions.
