Automatic Sublining for Efficient Sparse Memory Accesses

Applications from big data analytics, machine learning, and high performance computing, amongst others, operate on large inputs, which can place capacity pressure on caches. Further, some rely on operations over a dynamically determined subset of the ...

Recent studies have shown that cache-conscious indexes outperform conventional main memory indexes. Cache-conscious indexes focus on better utilization of each cache line for improving search performance of a single lookup. None has exploited cache ...

Directory-based, write-invalidate cache coherence protocols are effective in reducing latencies to the memory but suffer from cache misses due to coherence actions. It is therefore important to understand the nature of data sharing causing misses for ...
