Distributed Logless Atomic Durability with Persistent Memory

Babak Falsafi, Alexandros Daglis, Siddharth Gupta

Datacenter operators have started deploying Persistent Memory (PM), leveraging its combination of fast access and persistence for significant performance gains. A key challenge for PM-aware software is to maintain high performance while achieving atomic du ...

Fast General Distributed Transactions with Opacity

Aleksandar Dragojevic, Stanko Novakovic, Georgios Chatzopoulos

Transactions can simplify distributed applications by hiding data distribution, concurrency, and failures from the application developer. Ideally the developer would see the abstraction of a single large machine that runs transactions sequentially and neve ...

Methods and systems for secure data exchange

Bryan Alexander Ford, Linus Gasser, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias

The present invention concerns a computer-implemented method for secure data exchange between a sender (A) and a recipient (B), wherein the method is performed by the sender (A) and comprises encrypting data using a symmetric key k, creating a write transa ...

Improving Main-memory Database System Performance through Cooperative Multitasking

Georgios Psaropoulos

Database systems access memory either sequentially or randomly. Contrary to sequential access and despite the extensive efforts of computer architects, compiler writers, and system builders, random access to data larger than the processor cache has been s ...

Geometric and Physical Constraints for Drone-Based Head Plane Crowd Density Estimation

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Weizhe Liu, Krzysztof Maciej Lis

State-of-the-art methods for counting people in crowded scenes rely on deep networks to estimate crowd density in the image plane. While useful for this purpose, this image- plane density has no immediate physical meaning because it is subject to perspecti ...

Consolidation of database check constraints

Nikola Obrenovic

Independent modeling of various modules of an information system (IS), and consequently database subschemas, may result in formal or semantic conflicts between the modules being modeled. Such conflicts may cause collisions between the integrated database s ...

The Complexity of Reliable and Secure Distributed Transactions

Junxiong Wang

The use of transactions in distributed systems dates back to the 70's. The last decade has also seen the proliferation of transactional systems. In the existing transactional systems, many protocols employ a centralized approach in executing a distributed ...

Wren: Nonblocking Reads in a Partitioned Transactional Causally Consistent Data Store

Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona, Kristina Spirovska

Transactional Causal Consistency (TCC) extends causal consistency, the strongest consistency model compatible with availability, with interactive read-write transactions, and is therefore particularly appealing for geo-replicated platforms. This paper pres ...

Locking Timestamps versus Locking Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, Junxiong Wang, Tudor Alexandru David

We present multiversion timestamp locking (MVTL), a new genre of multiversion concurrency control algorithms for serializable transactions. The key idea behind MVTL is simple: lock individual timestamps instead of locking objects. After presenting a generi ...

A Scale-out Blockchain for Value Transfer with Spontaneous Sharding

Kelong Cong

Bitcoin, as well as many of its successors, require the whole transaction record to be reliably acquired by all nodes to prevent double-spending. Recently, many blockchains have been proposed to achieve scale-out throughput by letting nodes only acquire a ...
