Abstract
En 中文
Shared memory programs running on Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) machines usually face inherent performance problems stemming from excessive remote memory accesses. A solution, called the Adaptive Runtime System (ARS), is presented in this paper. ARS is designed to adjust the data distribution at runtime through automatic page migrations. It uses memory access histograms gathered by hardware monitors to find access hot spots and, based on this detection, to dynamically and transparently modify the data layout. In this way, incorrectly allocated data can be moved to the most appropriate node and hence data locality can be improved. Simulations show that this allows to achieve a performance gain of as high as 40%. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
