Locking Timestamps versus Locking Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, Tudor Alexandru David, Junxiong Wang

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 ...

Log-Free Concurrent Data Structures

Rachid Guerraoui, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Tudor Alexandru David

Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) makes it possible for data structures to tolerate transient failures, assuming however that programmers have designed these structures such that their consistency is preserved upon recovery. Previous ap- proaches are typically tran ...

The influence of different hydro-mechanical paths on final properties of saturated MX80 bentonite samples

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Patrycja Ewelina Baryla

Compacted bentonite is considered to be used for deep geological nuclear waste disposal due to its isolation properties such as low permeability, solute retention and swelling pressure. To ensure that these properties will remain favourable throughout the ...

Design of Approximate Circuits by Fabrication of False Timing Paths: The Carry Cut-Back Adder

Christian Enz, Vincent Frédéric Camus, Jérémy Lucien Maurice Schlachter, Mattia Cacciotti

This paper introduces a novel method for designing approximate circuits by fabricating and exploiting false timing paths, i.e. critical paths that cannot be logically activated. This allows to strongly relax timing constraints while guaranteeing minimal an ...

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 ...

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 ...

Unlocking Energy

Rachid Guerraoui, Babak Falsafi, Vasileios Trigonakis, Javier Picorel Obando

Locks are a natural place for improving the energy efficiency of software systems. First, concurrent systems are mainstream and when their threads synchronize, they typically do it with locks. Second, locks are well-defined abstractions, hence changing the ...

Applying HTM to an OLTP System: No Free Lunch

Anastasia Ailamaki, Pinar Tözün, Danica Porobic, David Cervini

Transactional memory is a promising way for implementing efficient synchronization mechanisms for multicore processors. Intel's introduction of hardware transactional memory (HTM) into their Haswell line of processors marks an important step toward mainstr ...
