DESCRIPTION:Karolos Antoniadis\nEDIC candidacy exam\nExam president: Prof.
  Martin Odersky\nThesis advisor: Prof. Rachid Guerraoui\nCo-examiner: Prof
 . Willy Zwaenepoel\n\nAbstract\nIn this proposal\, we survey recent work w
 hich shows\nthat in non-uniform memory access machines the placement of\ns
 oftware threads to hardware cores can have a significant effect\non the pe
 rformance of concurrent applications. The surveyed\nwork inspired us to de
 vise a technique that utilizes machine\nlearning and performance counters 
 in order to select between\ndifferent thread-placement policies. We propos
 e Slate\, an implementation\nof this technique that is able to select and 
 apply\nthread-placement policies online.\n\nBackground papers\nAbstracting

 tention-sensitivethread placement (EuroSys '17)\nThe Linux Scheduler: a De
