Efficient Management of PCM-based Swap Systems with a Small Page Size
Due to the recent advances in non-volatile memory technologies such as PCM, a new memory hierarchy of computer systems is expected to appear. In this paper, we explore the performance of PCMbased swap systems and discuss how this system can be managed efficiently. Specifically, we introduce three management techniques. First, we show that the page fault handling time can be reduced by attaching...
متن کاملSoftware-based contention management for efficient compare-and-swap operations
Many concurrent data-structure implementations – both blocking and non-blocking – use the well-known compare-and-swap (CAS) operation, supported in hardware by most modern multiprocessor architectures, for inter-thread synchronization. A key weakness of the CAS operation is its performance in the presence of memory contention. When multiple threads concurrently attempt to apply CAS operations t...
متن کاملThermal Management Using PCM-Based Heatsinks
Existing passive cooling solutions limit the short-term thermal output of systems, thereby either limiting instantaneous performance or requiring active cooling solutions. Active cooling requires relatively large amounts of power, and cannot easily and efficiently handle temperature spikes. PCMs (phase change materials) are materials that can change phase at a device’s operating temperature, ab...
متن کاملLDF-CLOCK: The Least-Dirty-First CLOCK Replacement Policy for PCM-based Swap Devices
Phase-change memory (PCM) is a promising technology that is anticipated to be used in the memory hierarchy of future computer systems. However, its access time is relatively slower than DRAM and it has limited endurance cycle. Due to this reason, PCM is being considered as a high-speed storage medium (like swap device) or long-latency memory. In this paper, we adopt PCM as a virtual memory swap...
متن کاملLightweight Contention Management for Efficient Compare-and-Swap Operations
Many concurrent data-structure implementations use the well-known compare-and-swap (CAS) operation, supported in hardware by most modern multiprocessor architectures, for inter-thread synchronization. A key weakness of the CAS operation is the degradation in its performance in the presence of memory contention. In this work we study the following question: can software-based contention manageme...
