When is it safe to run a transactional workload under Read Committed?

The popular isolation level multiversion Read Committed (RC) exchanges some of the strong guarantees of serializability for increased transaction throughput. Nevertheless, transaction workloads can sometimes be executed under RC while still guaranteeing se ...

Better Patch Stitching for Parametric Surface Reconstruction

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Zhantao Deng, Jan Bednarík

Recently, parametric mappings have emerged as highly effective surface representations, yielding low reconstruction error. In particular, the latest works represent the target shape as an atlas of multiple mappings, which can closely encode object parts. A ...

The PCL Theorem: Transactions cannot be Parallel, Consistent, and Live

Rachid Guerraoui, Victor Bushkov, Panagiota Fatourou

We establish a theorem called the PCL theorem, which states that it is impossible to design a transactional memory algorithm that ensures (1) parallelism, i.e., transactions do not need to synchronize unless they access the same application objects, (2) ve ...

Distributed Transactional Systems Cannot Be Fast

Rachid Guerraoui, Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona, Junxiong Wang, Panagiota Fatourou

We prove that no fully transactional system can provide fast read transactions (including read-only ones that are considered the most frequent in practice). Specifically, to achieve fast read transactions, the system has to give up support of transactions ...

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 ...

The Consensus Number of a Cryptocurrency

Rachid Guerraoui, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi, Matej Pavlovic, Matteo Monti

Many blockchain-based algorithms, such as Bitcoin, implement a decentralized asset transfer system, often referred to as a cryptocurrency. As stated in the original paper by Nakamoto, at the heart of these systems lies the problem of preventing double-spen ...

IntegrCiTy - D2.3 Report - Enabling and integrating a common IT structure: Definition of a back-end layer architecture

François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Jessen Page, Gillian Jean Bernard Basso

The concept of the IntegrCiTy platform is built around the development of a single application as a suite of independent software: project partners will mutualize a certain number of tools that shall be integrated in the IntegrCiTy platform. Therefore, a r ...

A TASTY Alternative

Martin Odersky, Eugene Burmako, Dmytro Petrashko

This document proposes a new serialization format for typed syntax trees of Scala programs. It aims to be ● compact: All numbers and references are length encoded, trees are inlined by default but may be shared. ● lazy: Trees can be explored from the top, ...
