EMERGING SCALE-OUT WORKLOADS NEED EXTENSIVE COMPUTATIONAL RESOURCES, BUT DATACENTERS USING MODERN SERVER HARDWARE FACE PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS. IN THIS ARTICLE, THE AUTHORS SHOW THAT MODERN SERVER PROCESSORS ARE HIGHLY INEFFICIENT FOR RUNNING CLOUD WORKLOADS. THEY INVESTIGATE THE MICROARCHITECTURAL BEHAVIOR OF SCALE-OUT WORKLOADS AND PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES TO ENABLE SPECIALIZED PROCESSOR DESIGNS THAT CLOSELY MATCH THE NEEDS OF THE CLOUD.
