An analytic performance model for overlapping execution of memory-bound loop kernels on multicore CPUs

Complex applications running on multicore processors show a rich performance phenomenology. The growing number of cores per ccNUMA domain complicates performance analysis of memory-bound code since system noise, load imbalance, or task-based programming models can lead to thread desynchronization. Hence, the simplifying assumption that all cores execute the same loop can not be upheld. Motivated by observations on plain and modifi
