In Wegman Hall #2506 on the UofR Campus, Rahman Lavaee Mashhadi will present a Computer Science Seminar titled Profile-Guided Memory Layout: Theory and Practice.

Modern software is growing in size and complexity, far faster than is hardware in performance. In particular, it executes and accesses an increasingly large amount of code and data, leading to performance bottlenecks in different levels of the memory hierarchy. Memory layout optimization can alleviate this effect by rearranging code and data in memory, in order to reduce cache misses.
