In mobile edge computing systems, base stations (BSs) equipped with edge servers can provide computing services to users to reduce their task execution time. However, there is always a conflict of interest between the BS and users. The BS…
Cache partitioning techniques have been successfully adopted to mitigate interference among concurrently executing real-time tasks on multi-core processors. Considering that the execution time of a cache-sensitive task strongly depends on…
Caching is frequently used by Internet Service Providers as a viable technique to reduce the latency perceived by end users, while jointly offloading network traffic. While the cache hit-ratio is generally considered in the literature as…
Serverless computing has gained a significant traction in recent times because of its simplicity of development, deployment and fine-grained billing. However, while implementing complex services comprising databases, file stores, or more…
Cloud computing is driven by economies of scale. A cloud system uses virtualization technology to provide cloud resources (e.g. CPU, memory) to users in form of virtual machines. Virtual machine (VM), which is a sandbox for user…
Caching is an approach to smoothen the variability of traffic over time. Recently it has been proved that the local memories at the users can be exploited for reducing the peak traffic in a much more efficient way than previously believed.…
Scalable web search systems typically employ multi-stage retrieval architectures, where an initial stage generates a set of candidate documents that are then pruned and re-ranked. Since subsequent stages typically exploit a multitude of…
The disaggregated memory (DM) architecture offers high resource elasticity at the cost of data access performance. While caching frequently accessed data in compute nodes (CNs) reduces access overhead, it requires costly centralized…
The main objective of this paper is to present a mechanism of enhanced paging support for the second generation microkernels in the form of explicit support of multi-pager environment for the tasks running in the system. Proposed mechanism…
A new form of caching, namely application-level caching, has been recently employed in web applications to improve their performance and increase scalability. It consists of the insertion of caching logic into the application base code to…
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have become an essential component in many application domains including web-based services. A variety of these services require high throughput and (close to) real-time features, for instance, to respond or…
Caching is a technique to reduce peak traffic rates by prefetching popular content into memories at the end users. Conventionally, these memories are used to deliver requested content in part from a locally cached copy rather than through…
Unified Virtual Memory (UVM) relieves the developers from the onus of maintaining complex data structures and explicit data migration by enabling on-demand data movement between CPU memory and GPU memory. However, on-demand paging soon…
Caching is crucial for enabling high-throughput networks for data intensive applications. Traditional caching technology relies on DRAM, as it can transfer data at a high rate. However, DRAM capacity is subject to contention by most system…
In recent years, there is an increasing demand of big memory systems so to perform large scale data analytics. Since DRAM memories are expensive, some researchers are suggesting to use other memory systems such as non-volatile memory (NVM)…
We present a new unified framework for minimizing congestion-dependent network cost in information-centric networks by jointly optimizing forwarding and caching strategies. As caching variables are integer-constrained, the resulting…
This paper presents the architecture and characteristics of a memory database intended to be used as a cache engine for web applications. Primary goals of this database are speed and efficiency while running on SMP systems with several CPU…
With the rapid development of DNN applications, multi-tenant execution, where multiple DNNs are co-located on a single SoC, is becoming a prevailing trend. Although many methods are proposed in prior works to improve multi-tenant…
Cuckoo hashing [4] is a multiple choice hashing scheme in which each item can be placed in multiple locations, and collisions are resolved by moving items to their alternative locations. In the classical implementation of two-way cuckoo…
The use of cloud computational resources has become increasingly important for companies and researchers to access on-demand and at any moment high-performance resources. However, given the wide variety of virtual machine types, network…
