Locality Aware Roofline Model

The years 2016 marked the achievement of our extension of the famous Cache Aware Roofline Model(CARM) and the associate tool. The latter model targets deep plateform and application analysis on multicore processors. Its model consist into a two-dimensions plane bound by several machine ceils and representative of scientific application workloads. Our extension validate the use of the CARM on emerging processors with heterogeneous memory subsystem, and extend the CARM methodology to encompass interconnection network, thus, enabling full modeling of shared memory systems [17]. This work is a collaboration with the INESC-ID research center under the NESUS project.
