The slowing of Moore's Law is forcing the computer industry to embrace domain-specific hardware, which must be coupled with general-purpose traditional systems. This architecture is most useful when large compute power is needed. Among the most compute-...

It was previously shown that Hybrid Photonic Plasmonic Interconnect (HyPPI) is an efficient candidate for augmenting electronic network on chips (NoCs). Here we introduce a reconfigurable Hybrid Photonic Plasmonic NoC termed D³NOC, which intelligently ...

Distributed arrays reduce programming effort through implicit communication. However, relying solely on this abstraction causes fine-grained communication and performance overhead. A variety of optimization techniques can be used to mitigate such ...

Many-core microprocessor architectures are quickly becoming prevalent in data centers, due to their demonstrated processing power and network flexibility. However, this flexibility comes at a cost; co-mingled data from disparate users must be kept ...

The Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming model strikes a balance between the explicit, locality-aware, message-passing model and locality-agnostic, but easy-to-use, shared memory model (e.g. OpenMP). However, the PGAS memory model comes ...

The incorporation of GPUs as co-processors has brought forth significant performance improvements for High-Performance Computing (HPC). Efficient utilization of the GPU resources is thus an important consideration for computer scientists. In order to ...

The HPC field is witnessing a widespread adoption of GPUs as accelerators for traditional homogeneous HPC systems. One of the prevalent parallel programming models is the SPMD paradigm, which has been adapted for GPU-based parallel processing. Since ...

Rapid advances in the performance and programmability of graphics accelerators have made GPU computing a compelling solution for a wide variety of application domains. However, the increased complexity as a result of architectural heterogeneity and ...

Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are data storage devices that use solid-state memory to store persistent data. Flash memory is the de facto nonvolatile technology used in most SSDs. It is well known that the writing performance of flash-based SSDs is much ...
