TL;DR: How the gem5 simulator has transitioned to a formal governance model to enable continued improvement and community support for the next 20 years of computer architecture research is discussed.

TL;DR: This paper sets out to reduce this significant communication cost by embedding data compression accelerators in the Network Interface Cards (NICs) and proposes an aggregator-free training algorithm that exchanges gradients in both legs of communication in the group, while the workers collectively perform the aggregation in a distributed manner.

TL;DR: This paper defines Planaria1, a microarchitectural capability that can dynamically fission (break) into multiple smaller yet full-fledged DNN engines at runtime that enables spatially co-locating multiple DNN inference services on the same hardware, offering simultaneous multi-tenant DNN acceleration.

TL;DR: FLASHSHARE is a holistic cross-stack approach, which can significantly reduce I/O interferences among co-running applications at a server without any change in applications, and can shorten the average and 99th-percentile turnaround response times of co- running applications by 22% and 31%, respectively.

TL;DR: Memory Channel Network can serve as an application-transparent framework which can seamlessly unify near-memory processing within a server and distributed computing across such servers for data-intensive applications.
