摘要：对于分布式存储系统来说,保证多租户尾延迟服务质量目标(SLO)同时获得较高的资源利用率十分重要。现有租户负载建模方法忽略了突发流量的密集程度,采用间接方法来预测尾延迟,导致系统的资源利用率较低。为了解决上述问题,本文基于密度聚类算法(DBScan),从强度、概率及密集程度3个维度对租户负载突发流量进行建模,直接预测连续突发流量期间请求延迟超限的概率。结合固定速率分配方法,本文设计了尾延迟SLO保证框架AccGecko。相比于已有的工作,AccGecko可以使系统平均多承载66%的租户。

摘要：Computer architecture is transiting from the multicore era into the heterogeneous era in which heterogeneous architectures use on-chip networks to access shared resources and how a network is configured will likely have a significant impact on overall performance and power consumption. Recently, heterogeneous network on chip （NoC） has been proposed not only to achieve performance comparable to that of the NoCs with buffered routers but also to reduce buffer cost and energy consumption. However, heterogeneous NoC design for heterogeneous GPU-CPU architectures has not been studied in depth. This paper first evaluates the performance and power consumption of a variety of static hot-potato based heterogeneous NoCs with different buffered and bufferless router placements, which is helpful to explore the design space for heterogeneous GPU-CPU interconnection. Then it proposes Unidirectional Flow Control （UFC）, a simple credit-based flow control mechanism for heterogeneous NoC in GPU-CPU architectures to control network congestion. UFC can guarantee that there are always unoccupied entries in buffered routers to receive flits coming from adjacent bufferless routers. Our evaluations show that when compared to hot-potato routing, UFC improves performance by an average of 14.1% with energy increased by an average of 5.3% only.
