Caching and Neutrality

Pavlos Nikolopoulos, Muhammad Abdullah, Aikaterini Argyraki

We are used to defining network neutrality as absence of traffic differentiation, like policing or shaping. These mechanisms, however, are often not what determines end-users’ quality of experience (QoE). Most content today is accessed through edge caches, ...

Request, Coalesce, Serve, and Forget: Miss-Optimized Memory Systems for Bandwidth-Bound Cache-Unfriendly Applications on FPGAs

Paolo Ienne, Mikhail Asiatici

Applications such as large-scale sparse linear algebra and graph analytics are challenging to accelerate on FPGAs due to the short irregular memory accesses, resulting in low cache hit rates. Nonblocking caches reduce the bandwidth required by misses by re ...

HPCache: Memory-Efficient OLAP Through Proportional Caching

Anastasia Ailamaki, Hamish Mcniece Hill Nicholson, Periklis Chrysogelos

Analytical engines rely on in-memory caching to avoid disk accesses and provide timely responses by keeping the most frequently accessed data in memory. Purely frequency- & time-based caching decisions, however, are a proxy of the expected query execution ...

NVCache: A Plug-and-Play NVMM-based I/O Booster for Legacy Systems

Rafael Pereira Pires, Pascal Felber

This paper introduces NVCache, an approach that uses a non-volatile main memory (NVMM) as a write cache to improve the write performance of legacy applications. We compare NVCache against file systems tailored for NVMM (Ext4-DAX and NOVA) and with I/O-heav ...

Large-Scale Graph Processing on FPGAs with Caches for Thousands of Simultaneous Misses

Paolo Ienne, Mikhail Asiatici

Efficient large-scale graph processing is crucial to many disciplines. Yet, while graph algorithms naturally expose massive parallelism opportunities, their performance is limited by the memory system because of irregular memory accesses. State-of-the-art ...

Successive Refinement to Caching for Dynamic Content

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Pinar Sen

To reduce the network load during peak hours, servers deliver partial data to users during the off-peak time of the network before the actual requests are known, which is known as caching. This paper studies a single user caching problem in which the file ...
