The Winds of Architecture Changes at the USENIX ATC 2019

ACM Sigarch

This blog post gives a glimpse of the computer systems research papers presented at the USENIX Annual Technical Conference (ATC) 2019, with an emphasis on systems that use new hardware architectures. GAIA proposed to expand the OS page cache into accelerator memory. ATC ’19 was refreshingly different. Heterogeneous ISA.

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2021

Alex Russell

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. The worldwide ASP 18 months ago was ~$300USD , so the average performance in the deployed fleet can be represented by a $300 device from mid-2019.

Understanding operational 5G: a first measurement study on its coverage, performance and energy consumption

The Morning Paper

The study is based on one of the world’s first commercial 5G network deployments (launched in April 2019), a 0.5 Emerging architectures that shorten the path length, e.g. edge caching and computing, may also confine the latency. km university campus.

Even more amazing papers at VLDB 2019 (that I didn’t have space to cover yet)

The Morning Paper

We’ve been covering papers from VLDB 2019 for the last three weeks, and next week it will be time to mix things up again. I really do want to cover this one at some point, along with Implementation of cluster-wide logical clock and causal consistency in MongoDB from SIGMOD 2019. What’s their secret???

HammerDB for Managers

HammerDB

It enables the user to measure database performance and make comparative judgements about database hardware and software. These factors meant that often when looking for database performance information, the results for a particular combination of software and hardware were not available. Cached vs Scaled Workloads.
