Operating System Assisted Hierarchical Memory Management for Heterogeneous Architectures

SESSION: Research Poster Reception

EVENT TYPE: Posters and Electronic Posters

TIME: 5:15PM - 7:00PM

SESSION CHAIR: Torsten Hoefler

AUTHOR(S):Balazs Gerofi, Akio Shimada, Atsushi Hori, Yutaka Ishikawa

ROOM:East Entrance

ABSTRACT:
Heterogeneous architectures, where a multicore processor, which is optimized for fast single-thread performance, is accompanied with a large number of simpler, but more power-efficient cores optimized for parallel workloads, are receiving a lot attention recently. Currently, these co-processors, such as Intel's Many Integrated Core (MIC) software development platform, come with a limited on-board RAM, which requires partitioning computational problems manually into pieces that can fit into the device's memory, and at the same time, efficiently overlapping computation and data movement between the host and the device. In this poster we present an operating system (OS) assisted hierarchical memory management system. We are aiming at transparent data movement between the device and the host memory, as well as tight integration with other OS services, such as file and network I/O.
