Programmable and Energy Efficient Extreme-Scale Processors

Overview:

Today, integrating 4--8 state-of-the-art cores or 10s of smaller cores on a single chip is commonplace. Since Moore's Law scaling is expected to continue for the forseeable future, processors with as many as 1000 cores will become possible within a few processor generations. This project is investigating programming and architectural support for such extreme-scale processors. Recent areas of research include reuse distance analysis for evaluating extreme-scale processors, scalability of processors out to extreme scale, cache management techniques, locality optimizations, implicit synchronization, and techniques for power efficiency.
