Entangled Transactions

As the world becomes more interdependent and computing grows more collaborative, there is a need for new abstractions and tools to help users work together. We recently introduced entangled queries – a mechanism for information exchange between database qu ...

Deadlock Immunity

Horatiu Jula

Deadlock immunity is a property by which programs, once afflicted by a deadlock, develop resistance against future occurrences of that deadlock. We enable real applications to automatically achieve immunity against deadlock bugs involving mutex locks, sema ...

Democratizing Transactional Programming

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli

The Transaction abstraction is arguably one of the most appealing middleware paradigms. It lies typically between the programmer of a concurrent or distributed application on the one hand, and the operating system with the underlying network on the other h ...

Testing Closed-Source Binary Device Drivers with DDT

George Candea, Vitaly Chipounov, Volodymyr Kuznetsov

DDT is a system for testing closed-source binary device drivers against undesired behaviors, like race conditions, memory errors, resource leaks, etc. One can metaphorically think of it as a pesticide against device driver bugs. DDT combines virtualization ...

Experimental vertical stability studies for ITER performance and design guidance

Jonathan Bryan Lister

Operating experimental devices have provided key inputs to the design process for ITER axisymmetric control. In particular, experiments have quantified controllability and robustness requirements in the presence of realistic noise and disturbance environme ...

Multi-gate vibrating-body field effect transistor (VB-FETs)

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Dimitrios Tsamados, Daniel Grogg, Marco Mazza

This paper reports on the design, fabrication and detailed characteristics of multi-gate vibrating-body field effect transistors (VB-FETs). Double-gate and four-gate VB-FETs with resonance frequencies of 2 MHz and 71 MHz, respectively, are successfully dem ...

Fast exclusion of errant devices from vehicular networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Maxime Raya

Vehicular networks, in which cars communicate wirelessly to exchange information on traffic conditions, offer a promising way to improve road safety. Yet ensuring the correct functioning of such a system is essential: malicious or faulty devices transmitti ...

Reverse-Engineering Drivers for Safety and Portability

George Candea, Vitaly Chipounov

Device drivers today lack two important properties: guaranteed safety and cross-platform portability. We present an approach to incrementally achieving these properties in drivers, without requiring any changes in the drivers or operating system kernels. W ...

PROTOFLEX: FPGA-accelerated hybrid functional simulator

Babak Falsafi

PROTOFLEX is an FPGA-accelerated hybrid simulation/emulation platform designed to support large-scale multiprocessor hardware and software research. Unlike prior attempts at FPGA multiprocessor system emulators, PROTOFLEX emulates full-system fidelity-i.e. ...

Secretive Birds: Privacy in Population Protocols

Rachid Guerraoui, Eric Ruppert

We study private computations in a system of tiny mobile agents. We consider the mobile population protocol model of Angluin et al. [2] and ask what can be computed without ever revealing any input to a curious adversary. We show that any computable predic ...
