Performance growth in these markets can only be sustained going forward through significant improvements in the energy efficiency of computation. A very effective approach to improving microprocessor energy efficiency is to lower supply voltage to very close to the t… text/html 2013-05-03T16:25:17-04:00 Gennady Pekhimenko http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~calcm/doku.php?id=seminars:seminars&rev=1367612717&do=diff The CALCM seminar series is a weekly meeting of faculty and students with broad interests in Computer Architecture, and is open to all. The seminar is an excellent medium for CALCM students/faculty to present their recent research results and/or practice conference presentations, for students to polish their presentation skills and present external results from recent conferences, and for outside speakers to tell us about their work. text/html 2013-04-22T21:46:22-04:00 Gennady Pekhimenko http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~calcm/doku.php?id=seminars:seminar_13_04_16&rev=1366681582&do=diff Tuesday April 23, 2013 HH D-210 4:30-6.00 pm Chris Fallin (ECE, CMU) Abstract A general-purpose core today is a compromise: it is designed to provide reasonable performance at reasonable energy efficiency for most code, but it is not necessarily the highest-performance or highest-energy-efficiency core design for all code. Nevertheless, single-thread performance and core energy efficiency remain fundamental problems in computer architecture today. text/html 2013-04-12T16:16:42-04:00 Gennady Pekhimenko http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~calcm/doku.php?id=seminars:seminar_15_04_05&rev=1365797802&do=diff Monday April 15, 2013 GHC 4405 3:00 pm Hassan Chafi (Oracle) Abstract The increasing importance of graph-data based applications is fueling the need for highly efficient and parallel implementations of graph analysis software. In this talk, we describe Green-Marl, a domain-specific language (DSL) for graph analysis. Green-Marl’s high level language constructs allow developers to describe their graph analysis algorithms intuitively, while at the same time exposing the data-level parallelism… text/html 2013-04-02T16:40:20-04:00 Gennady Pekhimenko http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~calcm/doku.php?id=seminars:seminar_13_02_14&rev=1364935220&do=diff Tuesday Feb. 14, 2013 Hamerschlag Hall D-210 5:00pm-6:00 pm Donghyuk Lee (ECE, CMU) Abstract The capacity and cost-per-bit of DRAM has historically scaled to satisfy the needs of increasingly large and complex computer systems. However, DRAM latency has remained almost constant, such that the performance of systems is often bottlenecked by memory latency.
