Contention-based nonminimal adaptive routing in high-radix networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015)
Conference report
Open AccessAdaptive routing is an efficient congestion avoidance mechanism for modern Datacenter and HPC networks. Congestion detection traditionally relies on the occupancy of the router queues. However, this approach can hinder ... -
Efficient bypass in mesh and torus NoCs
(Elsevier, 2020)
Article
Open AccessMinimizing latency and power are key goals in the design of NoC routers. Different proposals combine lookahead routing and router bypass to skip the arbitration and buffering, reducing router delay. However, the conditions ... -
Efficient routing mechanisms for Dragonfly networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)
Conference lecture
Open AccessHigh-radix hierarchical networks are cost-effective topologies for large scale computers. In such networks, routers are organized in super nodes, with local and global interconnections. These networks, known as Dragonflies, ... -
FlexVC: Flexible virtual channel management in low-diameter networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017)
Conference report
Open AccessDeadlock avoidance mechanisms for lossless lowdistance networks typically increase the order of virtual channel (VC) index with each hop. This restricts the number of buffer resources depending on the routing mechanism and ... -
Global misrouting policies in two-level hierarchical networks
(2013)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyDragonfly networks are composed of interconnected groups of routers. Adaptive routing allows packets to be forwarded minimally or non-minimally adapting to the traffic conditions in the network. While minimal routing sends ... -
Hybrid transactional memory to accelerate safe lock-based transactions
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2008)
Conference report
Open AccessTo reduce the overhead of Software Transactional Memory (STM) there are many recent proposals to build hybrid systems that use architectural support either to accelerate parts of a particular STM algorithm (Ha-TM), or ... -
Hybrid transactional memory with pessimistic concurrency control
(2011-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyTransactional Memory (TM) intends to simplify the design and implementation of the shared-memory data structures used in parallel software. Many Software TM systems are based on writer-locks to protect the data being ... -
