A method improves an execution speed of a host multi-core simulator simulating a target multi-core processor that has a hierarchical architecture including multiple corelets per core that, in turn include multiple functional units. The host multi-core simulator is implemented using multiple OS threads. The method selects layers in the hierarchical architecture to simulate on one of the OS threads, based on a shortest estimated layer execution time determined by (1.0+t/c*s)/min(c, t), wherein c is a number of cores in the simulator, t is a number of OS threads, and s is a threading overhead coefficient. The method respectively executes, from among the selected layers, a parallel simulation of the units therein that frequently communicate with each other on one of the multiple OS threads based on a communication frequency threshold, by assigning and using a respective user-level thread for each of the units from among a plurality of user-level threads.

A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for multi-sample dropout in deep neural network training. A computer creates multiple dropout samples in a minibatch, starting from a dropout layer and ending at a loss function layer in a deep neural network. At the dropout layer in the deep neural network, the computer applies multiple random masks for respective ones of the multiple dropout samples. At a fully connected layer in the deep neural network, the computer applies a shared parameter for all of the multiple dropout samples. After the loss function layer in the deep neural network, the computer calculates a final loss value, by averaging loss values of the respective ones of the multiple dropout samples.

A method configures a cache to implement a LRU management technique. The cache has N entries divided into B buckets. Each bucket has a number of entries equal to P entries*M vectors, wherein N=B*P*M. Any P entry within any M vector is ordered using an in-vector LRU ordering process. Any entry within any bucket is ordered in LRU within the vectors and buckets. The LRU management technique moves a found entry to a first position within a same M vector, responsive to a lookup for a specified key, and permutes the found entry and a last entry in a previous M vector, responsive to the found entry already being in the first position within a vector and the same one of the M vectors not being a first vector in the bucket in the moving step.
