We present an algorithm called HS-means which is able to learn the number of clusters in a mixture model. Our method extends the concept of clustering stability to a concept of hierarchical stability. The method chooses a model for the data based on analysis of clustering stability; it then analyzes the stability of each component in the estimated model and chooses a stable model for this component...
Architectures are usually compared by running the same workload on each architecture and comparing performance. When a single compiled binary of a program is executed on many different architectures, techniques like SimPoint can be used to find a small set of samples that represent the majority of the program's execution. Architectures can be compared by simulating their behavior on the code samples...
A recent study examined the use of sampled hardware counters to create sampled code signatures. This approach is attractive because sampled code signatures can be quickly gathered for any application. The conclusion of their study was that there exists a fuzzy correlation between sampled code signatures and performance predictability. The paper raises the question of how much information is lost in...
Most programs are repetitive, where similar behavior can be seen at different execution times. Proposed algorithms automatically group similar portions of a program's execution into phases, where the intervals in each phase have homogeneous behavior and similar resource requirements. These prior techniques focus on fixed length intervals (such as a hundred million instructions) to find phase behavior...
