As a result, such systems are more prone to bugs which can cause performance and correctness challenges. Using run-time monitoring tools is one approach to mitigate these challenges. However, these tools maintain metadata for every byte of application data they monitor, which precipitates performance overheads from additional metadata accesses. We propose \u0000<italic>Address Scaling</i>\u0000, a new hardware framework that performs fine-grained metadata management to reduce metadata access overheads in run-time monitoring tools. Our mechanism is based on the observation that different run-time monitoring tools maintain metadata at varied granularities. Our key insight is to maintain the data and its corresponding metadata within the same cache line, to preserve locality. \u0000<italic>Address Scaling</i>\u0000 improves the performance of \u0000<monospace>Memcheck</monospace>\u0000, a dynamic monitoring tool that detects memory-related errors, by 3.55× and 6.58× for sequential and random memory access patterns respectively, compared to the state-of-the-art systems that store the metadata in a memory region that is separate from the data.","PeriodicalId":51248,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Computer Architecture Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140057254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It offers a simple “all-or-nothing” idea to the programmer, making a piece of code appear atomic in hardware. Despite this and many elegant HTM implementations in research, only best-effort HTM is available commercially. Best-effort HTM lacks forward progress guarantee making it harder for the programmer to create a concurrent scalable fallback path. This has made HTM's adaptability limited. With a scope to support a myriad of applications, HTMs do a trade off between design and verification complexity vs forward progress guarantee. In this letter, we argue that limiting the scope of applications helps HTM attain guaranteed forward progress. We support lock-free programs by using HTM as multi-word-atomics and demonstrate strategic design choices to achieve lock-freedom completely in hardware. We use lfbench, a lock-free micro-benchmark-suite, and Arm's best-effort HTM (ARM_TME) on the gem5 simulator, as our base. We demonstrate the performance tradeoffs between design choices of a deferral-based, NACK-based, and NACK-with-backoff approaches. We show that NACK-with-backoff performs better than the others without compromising scalability for both read- and write-intensive applications.","PeriodicalId":51248,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Computer Architecture Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140007794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the success of CNNs, they classify images based on the identification of specific features, ignoring the spatial relationships between different features due to the pooling layer. The capsule network (CapsNet) architecture proposed by Google Brain's team is an attempt to address this drawback by grouping several neurons into a single capsule and learning the spatial correlations between different input features. Thus, the CapsNet identifies not only the presence of a feature but also its relationship with other features. However, the success of the CapsNet comes at the cost of underutilization of resources when it is run on a modern GPU equipped with tensor cores (TCs). Due to the structure of capsules in the CapsNet, quite often, functional units in a TC are underutilized which prolong the execution of capsule layers and increase energy consumption. In this work, we propose an architecture to eliminate ineffectual operations and improve energy-efficiency of GPUs. Experimental measurements over a set of state-of-the-art datasets show that the proposed approach improves energy-efficiency by 15% while maintaining the accuracy of CapsNets.","PeriodicalId":51248,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Computer Architecture Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139955357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
