A Closer Look at Intel Resource Director Technology (RDT)

Abstract

Unarbitrated contention over shared resources at different levels of the memory hierarchy represents a major source of temporal interference. Hardware manufacturers are increasingly more receptive to issues with temporal interference and are starting to propose concrete solutions to mitigate the problem. Intel Resource Director Technology (RDT) represents one such attempt. Given the wide adoption of Intel platforms, RDT features can be an invaluable asset for the consolidation of real-time systems on complex multi- and many-core machines.
