Trading Memory for Performance and Energy

چکیده
Managing extremely large amounts of data with high performance and low power consumption is very difficult. We look at this urgent problem from an architectural perspective and present our prototype design and implementation of a three-layer database storage system, which uses flash-based devices as an intermediate caching layer. The flash-based layer significantly improves the I/O efficiency of the storage system. Therefore, we can reduce the use of energy-inefficient RAMbased memory without compromising the overall system performance. The efficiency of the three-layer storage system is demonstrated by our practical experiments using traces from both standard benchmarks and a real-life application.

We present a combined architectural and circuit technique for reducing the energy dissipation of microprocessor memory structures. This approach exploits the subarray partitioning of high speed memories and varying application requirements to dynamically disable partitions during appropriate execution periods. When applied to 4-way set associative caches, trading off a 2% performance degradatio...

متن کاملAMNESIAC: Amnesic Automatic Computer Trading Computation for Communication for Energy Efficiency
Due to imbalances in technology scaling, the energy consumption of data storage and communication by far exceeds the energy consumption of actual data production, i.e., computation. As a consequence, recomputing data can become more energy-efficient than storing and retrieving precomputed data. At the same time, recomputation can relax the pressure on the memory hierarchy and the communication ...
