NeCTAR - University of Melbourne
(2017-09-10)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe presenters shared their experiences of running the NeCTAR, the largest academic and research cloud deployment in Australia. They also presented an overview of the architecture, use, and the corresponding training ... -
The Heidelberg Laureate Forum
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessThe Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) is an annual meeting bringing together the winners of the most prestigious international awards in mathematics (Abel Prize, Fields Medal and Nevanlinna Prize) and computer science (ACM ... -
An industrial point of view on next-generation graph computing
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessIn the era of big data, the graph models are becoming very popular data models as they can naturally represent many real world problems. Over the past several years, the efforts to accelerate graph computing on supercomputing ... -
Innovative applications and technology pivots - a perfect storm in computing
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessSince 2006, we have been experiencing two very important developments in computing. One is that tremendous amounts of resources have been invested into innovative applications such as first-principle based models, deep ... -
NVDRAM a new technological evolution of a new system revolution?
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessNonvolatile memories are being used for quite long time in computer systems. So far, they successfully added another level of abstraction to the current memory hierarchy. The introduction of byte addressable nonvolatile ... -
On the nature of computing
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessComputing is a domain of knowledge. Knowledge is information that embedded into the right network of conceptual interrelations can be used to understand a subject or solve a problem. According to this definition, Physics, ... -
Rigorous system design
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessToday, the development costs of high confidence systems explode with their size. We are far away from the solution of the so-called, software crisis. In fact, the latter hides another much bigger: the system crisis. n ... -
Towards convection-resolution climate modeling
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessCurrently comprehensive efforts are underway to refine the horizontal resolution of global and regional climate models to O (1 km), with the intent to represent convective clouds explicitly rather than using semi-empirical ... -
Resilience design patterns: a structured approach to resilience at extreme scale
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessReliability is a serious concern for future extreme-scale high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Projections based on the current generation of HPC systems and technology roadmaps suggest the prevalence of very high ... -
Big data applications on flash storage with accelerators
(2017-09-10)
Open AccessFast content-based searches and complex analytics of the vast amount of data collected via social media, cell phones, ubiquitous smart sensors, and satellites is likely to be the biggest economic driver for the IT industry ... -
Large-scale graph processing and applications
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessIn the Big Data era, graph processing has been widely used to represent complex system structure, capture data dependency and uncover relationship insights. Due to the ever-growing graph scale and algorithm complexity, ... -
Artificial intelligence and big data management: the dynamic duo for moving forward data centric sciences
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessAfter vivid discussions led by the emergence of the buzzword “Big Data”, it seems that industry and academia have reached an objective understanding about data properties (volume, velocity, variety, veracity and value), ... -
Processor paradigms: evolution or disruption
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessAt HPCA in February, a workshop titled Pioneering Processor Paradigms was held (first one), focused on taking a look at key paradigms of the past to see what we could learn from them. They asked me to give the keynote. ... -
Instruction sets want to be free
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessThe most important interface in a computer system is the instruction set architecture (ISA) as it connects software to hardware. So, given the prevalence of open standards for almost all other important interfaces, why ... -
Tomorrow’s memory systems, 2017 edition
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessI will discuss technologies our group helped develop, including Micron’s Hybrid Memory Cube, flash-based main memories, and high-bandwidth/high-capacity memory; I will discuss the impact these will have on applications and ... -
Machine learning for microarchitectural prediction
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessCache replacement and branch prediction are two important microarchitectural prediction techniques for improving performance. We propose a data-driven approach to designing microarchitectural predictors. Through simulation, ... -
A memory model for RISC-V
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessHistorically memory models for multiprocessors have not been designed deliberately but have just emerged. Practically every microarchitectural optimization, which is transparent in a single threaded setting, becomes ... -
Performance matters
(2017-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessPerformance clearly matters to users. The most common software update on the AppStore *by far* is "Bug fixes and performance enhancements." Now that Moore's Law Free Lunch has ended, programmers have to work hard to get ...
