Passing Messages while Sharing Memory

We introduce a new distributed computing model called m&m that allows processes to both pass messages and share memory. Motivated by recent hardware trends, we find that this model improves the power of the pure message-passing and shared-memory models. As ...

A Timing-Monitoring Sequential for Forward and Backward Error-Detection in 28 nm FD-SOI

Andreas Peter Burg, Adam Shmuel Teman, Andrea Bonetti, Jeremy Hugues-Felix Constantin

The increasing impact of variability on near-threshold nanometer circuits calls for a tighter online monitoring and control of the available timing margins. Error-detection sequentials are widely used together with error-correction techniques to operate di ...

Exogenous Coordination of Concurrent Software Components with JavaBIP

Simon Bliudze, Anastasia Mavridou, Radoslaw Szymanek, Alina Zolotukhina

A strong separation of concerns is necessary in order to make the design of domain-specific functional components independent from cross-cutting concerns, such as concurrent access to the shared resources of the execution platform. Native coordination mech ...

Algorithmic Verification of Component-based Systems

Qiang Wang

This dissertation discusses algorithmic verification techniques for concurrent component-based systems modeled in the Behavior-Interaction-Priority (BIP) framework with both bounded and unbounded concurrency. BIP is a component framework for mixed software ...

Systematic Design Space Exploration of Dynamic Dataflow Programs for Multi-core Platforms

Malgorzata Maria Michalska

The limitations of clock frequency and power dissipation of deep sub-micron CMOS technology have led to the development of massively parallel computing platforms. They consist of dozens or hundreds of processing units and offer a high degree of parallelism ...

Sequential Proximity: Towards Provably Scalable Concurrent Search Algorithms

Rachid Guerraoui, Vasileios Trigonakis, Karolos Antoniadis, Julien Michel Stainer

Establishing the scalability of a concurrent algorithm a priori, before implementing and evaluating it on a concrete multi-core platform, seems difficult, if not impossible. In the context of search data structures however, according to all practical work ...

Program Analysis and Compilation Techniques for Speeding up Transactional Database Workloads

Mohammad Dashti Rahmat Abadi

There is a trend towards increased specialization of data management software for performance reasons. The improved performance not only leads to a more efficient usage of the underlying hardware and cuts the operation costs of the system, but also is a ga ...

Elastic transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

This paper presents elastic transactions, an appealing alternative to traditional transactions, in particular to implement search structures in shared memory multicore architectures. Upon conflict detection, an elastic transaction might drop what it did so ...

HEAL-WEAR: an Ultra-Low Power Heterogeneous System for Bio-Signal Analysis

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Ruben Braojos Lopez, Soumya Subhra Basu, Loris Gérard Duch

Personalized healthcare devices enable low-cost, unobtrusive and long-term acquisition of clinically-relevant biosignals. These appliances, termed Wireless Body Sensor Nodes (WBSNs), are fostering a revolution in health monitoring for patients affected by ...

Universally Scalable Concurrent Data Structures

Tudor Alexandru David

The increase in the number of cores in processors has been an important trend over the past decade. In order to be able to efficiently use such architectures, modern software must be scalable: performance should increase proportionally to the number of all ...
