ADVANCE Fellows Award: Caches As Filters Benchmark Characterization and Demonstration

CNS-0340813 Dee Weikle机构：University of Pennsylvania标题：Caches as Filters Benchmark Characterization and DemonstrationThis ADVANCE Fellows award为一个项目提供支持，该项目使用Caches-as-Filters框架来表征基准套件，特别是用于缓存设计，并演示在小规模缓存系统设计中使用该框架。 缓存过滤器框架解决了使用内存层次结构设计的基准方法的困难。 这个框架的演示可以鼓励架构社区使用设计方法，包括更多的分析，从而更深入地了解设计issue.The智力价值的这个项目在于有机会提供一个理论基础，系统的方法来缓存设计。 基准的表征提供了有用的洞察到在现实世界的程序中发现的内存系统的行为，从而可能有助于当前的理解在计算机内存管理领域。更广泛的影响包括计算机体系结构研究小组可以使用的新工具的开发。这可能包括开发新的方法，研究人员将框架问题和沟通，以及传达他们的想法给学生。 该项目包括研究生和本科生在一个支持性的环境。通过研究生课程、网站和出版物，大力致力于传播。

CNS-0340813Dee WeikleInstitution: University of VirginiaTitle: Caches as Filters Benchmark Characterization and DemonstrationThis ADVANCE Fellows award provides support to for a project to use the caches-as-filters framework to characterize benchmark suites, specifically for the purpose of cache design, and to demonstrate the use of the framework on the design of a small-scale caching system. The caches-as-filters framework addresses difficulties in using a benchmark methodology for memory hierarchy design. The demonstration of this framework could encourage the architecture community to use design methodologies that include more analysis resulting in a deeper understanding of design issue.The intellectual merit of this project lies in the opportunity to provide a theoretic basis for a systematic approach to cache design. The characterizations of the benchmarks provide useful insight into the kinds of memory systems behavior found in real-world program and thus may contribute to the current understanding in the field of computer memory management. The broader impacts include development of new tools that can be used by computer architecture research groups. This may include development of new ways in which researchers will frame problems and communicate about them as well as convey their ideas to students. The project includes both graduate and undergraduate students within a supportive environment. There is a strong commitment to dissemination, through a graduate course, web site and publications.
