Locality Protected Dynamic Cache Allocation Scheme on GPUs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As we are approaching the exascale era in supercomputing, designing a balanced computer system with powerful computing ability and low energy consumption becomes increasingly important. GPU is a widely used accelerator in most recently applied supercomputers. It adopts massive multithreads to hide long latency and has high energy efficiency. In contrast to its strong computing power, GPUs have few on-chip resources with several MB of fast on-chip memory storage per SM (Streaming Multiprocessors). GPU caches exhibit poor efficiency due to the mismatch of the throughput-oriented execution model and its cache hierarchy design. Since the severe deficiency in on-chip memory, the benefit of high computing capacity of GPUs is pulled down by the poor cache performance dramatically, which limits system performance and energy-efficiency. In this paper, we put forward a locality protected scheme to make full use of the data locality based on the fixed capacity. We present a Locality Protected method based on instruction PC (LPP) to promote GPU performance. Firstly, we use a PC-based collector to collect the reuse information of each cache line. After getting the dynamic reuse information of the cache line, we take an intelligent cache allocation unit (ICAU) which coordinates the reuse information with LRU (Least Recently Used) replacement policy to find out the cache line with the least locality for eviction. The results show that LPP provides an up to 17.8% speedup and an average of 5.5% improvement over the baseline method.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
