NextGen-Malloc: Giving Memory Allocator Its Own Room in the House

Article describes how memory allocation and management have a significant impact on performance and energy of modern applications. The authors observe that performance can vary by as much as 72% in some applications based on which memory allocator is used, and in this paper, the authors make a case for offloading memory allocation (and other similar management functions) from main processing cores to other processing units to boost performance, reduce energy consumption, and customize services to specific applications or application domains.

SUPREME: multiomics data integration using graph convolutional networks

Article states that, to pave the road towards precision medicine in cancer, patients with similar biology ought to be grouped into same cancer subtypes. On breast cancer subtyping, unlike existing tools, SUPREME generates patient embeddings from multiple similarity networks utilizing multiomics features and integrates them with raw features to capture complementary signals.
