Abstract

 

  Computing has changed from compute-centric to data-centric. Data access becomes the main performance concern of computing. In this talk we introduce a series of fundamental results and their associated mechanisms to reevaluate memory systems, including I/O systems, and conduct data-centric memory optimizations. We first present the Concurrent-AMAT (C-AMAT) data access model to unify the impact of data locality, concurrency and overlapping. Then, we introduce the pace matching data-transfer design methodology to optimize memory system performance. Based on the pace matching design, a memory-computing hierarchy is built to generate and transfer the final results, and to mask the performance gap between computing and data transfer. C-AMAT is used to calculate the data transfer request/supply ratio at each memory layer, and a global control algorithm, named layered performance matching (LPM), is developed to match the data transfer at each memory layer and thus match the overall performance between the CPU and the underlying memory system. The holistic pace-matching optimization is very different from the conventional locality-based system optimization, and can minimize memory-wall effects to the minimum. Experimental testing confirms the theoretical findings, with a 150x reduction of memory stall time. We will present the concept of the pace matching data transfer, the design of C-AMAT and LPM, and some experimental case studies. We will also discuss optimization and research issues related to pace matching data transfer and of memory systems in general.
