Abstract

Latency-critical workloads such as web search engines, social networks and finance market applications are sensitive to tail latencies for meeting service level objectives (SLOs). Since unexpected tail latencies are caused by sharing hardware resources with other co-executing workloads, a service provider executes the latency-critical workload alone. Thus, the data center for the latency-critical workloads has exceedingly low hardware resource utilization. For improving hardware resource utilization, the service provider has to co-locate the latency-critical workloads and other batch processing ones. However, because the memory bandwidth cannot be provided in isolation unlike the cores and cache memory, the latency-critical workloads experience poor performance isolation even though the core and cache memory are allocated in isolation to the workloads. To solve this problem, we propose an optimized memory bandwidth management approach for ensuring quality of service (QoS) and high server utilization. By providing isolated shared resources including the memory bandwidth to the latency-critical workload and co-executing batch processing ones, firstly, our proposed approach performs few pre-profilings under the assumption that memory bandwidth contention is the worst with a divide and conquer method. Second, we predict the memory bandwidth to meet the SLO for all queries per seconds (QPSs) based on results of the pre-profilings. Then, our approach allocates the amount of the isolated memory bandwidth that guarantees the SLO to the latency-critical workload and the rest of the memory bandwidth to co-executing batch processing ones. It is experimentally found that our proposed approach can achieve up to 99% SLO assurance and improve the server utilization up to 6.5×.
