Proceedings ArticleDOI
Full-system analysis and characterization of interactive smartphone applications
Anthony Gutierrez,Ronald G. Dreslinski,Thomas F. Wenisch,Trevor Mudge,Ali G. Saidi,Chris Emmons,Nigel Charles Paver +6 more
TL;DR: This paper characterize the microarchitectural behavior of representative smartphone applications on a current-generation mobile platform to identify trends that might impact future designs, and measures a suite of widely available mobile applications for audio, video, and interactive gaming.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A QoS-aware memory controller for dynamically balancing GPU and CPU bandwidth use in an MPSoC
TL;DR: This work proposes to dynamically adapt the priority of CPU and GPU memory requests based on a novel mechanism that tracks progress of GPU workloads and shows that the proposed mechanism significantly improves GPU performance with only minimal impact on the CPU.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Sources of Error in Full-System Simulation
Anthony Gutierrez,Joseph Pusdesris,Ronald G. Dreslinski,Trevor Mudge,Chander Sudanthi,Christopher D. Emmons,Mitchell Hayenga,Nigel Charles Paver +7 more
TL;DR: This work designs a custom gem5 configuration and makes several changes to the simulator itself in order to more closely match the Versatile Express TC2 board, and extends the investigation to include several key microarchitectural statistics as well, showing that accuracy within 20% on average for a majority of them.
Patent
Efficiency of cache memory operations
TL;DR: In this paper, page status unit 40 is used to provide a cache controller with a page open indication indicating one or more open pages of data values in memory, so that the efficiency and/or speed of the processing system can be improved.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A structured approach to the simulation, analysis and characterization of smartphone applications
Dam Sunwoo,William Wang,Mrinmoy Ghosh,Chander Sudanthi,Geoffrey Blake,Christopher D. Emmons,Nigel Charles Paver +6 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes a methodology to tractably explore the processor design space and to characterize applications in a full-system simulation environment and presents a non-invasive user-interface automation tool to allow us to study all types of workloads in a simulation environment.
