Distance-Based ISA for Efficient Register Management

ACM Sigarch

To create a CPU core that can execute a large number of instructions in parallel, it is necessary to improve both the architecturewhich includes the overall CPU design and the instruction set architecture (ISA) designand the microarchitecture, which refers to the hardware design that optimizes instruction execution.

Predictive CPU isolation of containers at Netflix

The Netflix TechBlog

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. This avoids thrashing caches too much for B and evens out the pressure on the L3 caches of the machine.

AWS serverless services: Exploring your options

Dynatrace

Instead of worrying about infrastructure management functions, such as capacity provisioning and hardware maintenance, teams can focus on application design, deployment, and delivery. Serverless architecture offers several benefits for enterprises. Simplicity. The first benefit is simplicity. Let’s explore each in more detail.

Helping VFX studios pave a path to the cloud

The Netflix TechBlog

Rendering is the final step in the VFX creation process, and processing on a render farm often can take several hours to complete just a single frame of a show, even when this process runs on the latest high-end hardware. Rendering on AWS provides the flexibility to control how quickly a project is completed.

Designing far memory data structures: think outside the box

The Morning Paper

Designing far memory data structures: think outside the box Aguilera et al., Therefore, if we want to make full use of one-sided far memory, we need to think carefully about the design of our data structures to make that access efficient. Processor caches can help to hide local accesses too, but not remote accesses.

Six things that slow down your site's UX (and why you have no control over them)

Speed Curve

Photo by Freepik Part of the answer is this: You have a lot of control over the design and code for the pages on your site, plus a decent amount of control over the first and middle mile of the network your pages travel over. For a myriad of reasons, older hardware can't always accommodate faster speeds. but couldn't find anything.

Compress objects, not cache lines: an object-based compressed memory hierarchy

The Morning Paper

Compress objects, not cache lines: an object-based compressed memory hierarchy Tsai & Sanchez, ASPLOS’19. One of the important attributes of their design was easy and rapid deployment across an existing fleet. If we compress objects instead of cache lines though, we can get to a 56% compression ratio (c). Implications.
