We have entered the CMP era and are continuously accelerating the pace at which more cores are integrated on the same die. It is now possible to imagine building a 32-core CMP platform in the near future. To make best use of these cores, the workload scenarios are also evolving rapidly. For example, consolidation via virtualization is a rapidly growing phenomenon in the server marketplace. In this talk, we will start by describing our vision of large-scale CMP platforms and future workload scenarios over the next decade. We will then re-visit the typical performance requirements and behavior of these platforms. Based on analysis of several commercial server workloads running individually, we will demonstrate platform scalability considerations. Based on simultaneous execution of heterogeneous workloads, we will show platform quality of service considerations. The intent is to describe the opportunities and challenges that 2015 CMP platforms will face and discuss potential solutions that need further research.
