MT2 - Memory Bandwidth Regulation on Hybrid NVM/DRAM Platforms

Explore a 15-minute conference talk from USENIX FAST '22 that delves into memory bandwidth regulation on hybrid NVM/DRAM platforms. Learn about MT^2, a novel approach to address bandwidth competition issues in hybrid memory configurations. Discover how this research analyzes memory traffic interference and introduces a dynamic bandwidth throttling algorithm to regulate memory usage among concurrent applications. Understand the challenges posed by mixed NVM and DRAM traffic on shared memory buses and how MT^2 tackles these issues. Gain insights into the implementation of MT^2 within the cgroup mechanism and its potential to significantly improve application performance by up to 2.6 times compared to unrestricted scenarios. Ideal for those interested in advanced memory management techniques and performance optimization in modern server architectures.
