TLDR
The Fifth Edition of Computer Architecture focuses on this dramatic shift in the ways in which software and technology in the "cloud" are accessed by cell phones, tablets, laptops, and other mobile computing devices.Abstract:
The computing world today is in the middle of a revolution: mobile clients and cloud computing have emerged as the dominant paradigms driving programming and hardware innovation today. The Fifth Edition of Computer Architecture focuses on this dramatic shift, exploring the ways in which software and technology in the "cloud" are accessed by cell phones, tablets, laptops, and other mobile computing devices. Each chapter includes two real-world examples, one mobile and one datacenter, to illustrate this revolutionary change. Updated to cover the mobile computing revolutionEmphasizes the two most important topics in architecture today: memory hierarchy and parallelism in all its forms.Develops common themes throughout each chapter: power, performance, cost, dependability, protection, programming models, and emerging trends ("What's Next")Includes three review appendices in the printed text. Additional reference appendices are available online.Includes updated Case Studies and completely new exercises.read more

McPAT: an integrated power, area, and timing modeling framework for multicore and manycore architectures
TL;DR: Combining power, area, and timing results of McPAT with performance simulation of PARSEC benchmarks at the 22nm technology node for both common in-order and out-of-order manycore designs shows that when die cost is not taken into account clustering 8 cores together gives the best energy-delay product, whereas when cost is taking into account configuring clusters with 4 cores gives thebest EDA2P and EDAP.

Meltdown: reading kernel memory from user space
Moritz Lipp,Michael Schwarz,Daniel Gruss,Thomas Prescher,Werner Haas,Anders Fogh,Jann Horn,Stefan Mangard,Paul C. Kocher,Daniel Genkin,Yuval Yarom,Mike Hamburg +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the KAISER defense mechanism for KASLR has the important (but inadvertent) side effect of impeding Meltdown, which breaks all security guarantees provided by address space isolation as well as paravirtualized environments.

Control-Flow Integrity - Principles, Implementations, and Applications
TL;DR: Control-flow integrity provides a useful foundation for enforcing further security policies, as it is demonstrated with efficient software implementations of a protected shadow call stack and of access control for memory regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control-flow integrity principles, implementations, and applications
TL;DR: Control-flow integrity (CFI) as discussed by the authors is a basic safety property, which can prevent malicious code from arbitrarily controlling program behavior, even with respect to powerful adversaries, and can be enforced formally.

Optimization of sparse matrix-vector multiplication on emerging multicore platforms
TL;DR: This work examines sparse matrix-vector multiply (SpMV) - one of the most heavily used kernels in scientific computing - across a broad spectrum of multicore designs, and presents several optimization strategies especially effective for the multicore environment.

MapReduce: simplified data processing on large clusters
Jeffrey Dean,Sanjay Ghemawat +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents the implementation of MapReduce, a programming model and an associated implementation for processing and generating large data sets that runs on a large cluster of commodity machines and is highly scalable.

MapReduce: simplified data processing on large clusters
Jeffrey Dean,Sanjay Ghemawat +1 more
TL;DR: This presentation explains how the underlying runtime system automatically parallelizes the computation across large-scale clusters of machines, handles machine failures, and schedules inter-machine communication to make efficient use of the network and disks.

The anatomy of a large-scale hypertextual Web search engine
Sergey Brin,Lawrence Page +1 more
TL;DR: This paper provides an in-depth description of Google, a prototype of a large-scale search engine which makes heavy use of the structure present in hypertext and looks at the problem of how to effectively deal with uncontrolled hypertext collections where anyone can publish anything they want.

The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine.
Sergey Brin,Lawrence Page +1 more
TL;DR: Google as discussed by the authors is a prototype of a large-scale search engine which makes heavy use of the structure present in hypertext and is designed to crawl and index the Web efficiently and produce much more satisfying search results than existing systems.

Cramming More Components Onto Integrated Circuits
TL;DR: Integrated circuits will lead to such wonders as home computers or at least terminals connected to a central computer, automatic controls for automobiles, and personal portable communications equipment as mentioned in this paper. But the biggest potential lies in the production of large systems.
