OneFile: A Wait-free Persistent Transactional Memory

A persistent transactional memory (PTM) library provides an easy-to-use interface to programmers for using byte-addressable non-volatile memory (NVM). Previously proposed PTMs have, so far, been blocking. We present OneFile, the first wait-free PTM with in ...

State Machine Replication is More Expensive than Consensus

Rachid Guerraoui, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi, Karolos Antoniadis

Consensus and State Machine Replication (SMR) are generally considered to be equivalent problems. In certain system models, indeed, the two problems are computationally equivalent: any solution to the former problem leads to a solution to the latter, and v ...

ESTIMA: Extrapolating ScalabiliTy of In-Memory Applications

Rachid Guerraoui, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Georgios Chatzopoulos

This article presents ESTIMA, an easy-to-use tool for extrapolating the scalability of in-memory applications. ESTIMA is designed to perform a simple yet important task: Given the performance of an application on a small machine with a handful of cores, ES ...

MOOLs for MOOCs: A first edX scalable implementation

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann, Yves Henri Philippe Piguet

Deploying remote laboratories at a large scale is the next challenge in remote experimentation. It is referred as Massive Open Online Labs (MOOLs). Being able to sustain a massive number of users accessing a specific resource concurrently is a complex task ...

Locking Made Easy

Rachid Guerraoui, Vasileios Trigonakis, Georgios Chatzopoulos, Jelena Antic

A priori, locking seems easy: To protect shared data from concurrent accesses, it is sufficient to lock before accessing the data and unlock after. Nevertheless, making locking efficient requires fine-tuning (a) the granularity of locks and (b) the locking ...

Fast and Robust Memory Reclamation for Concurrent Data Structures

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Oana Maria Balmau

In concurrent systems without automatic garbage collection, it is challenging to determine when it is safe to reclaim memory, especially for lock-free data structures. Existing concurrent memory reclamation schemes are either fast but do not tolerate proce ...

Right On Time Distributed Shared Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, David Kozhaya, Yvonne Anne Pignolet-Oswald

The demand for real-time data storage in distributed control systems (DCSs) is growing. Yet, providing real- time DCS guarantees is challenging, especially when more and more sensor and actuator devices are connected to industrial plants and message loss n ...

Dataflow Programs Analysis and Optimization Using Model Predictive Control Techniques. Two Examples of Bounded Buffer Scheduling: Deadlock Avoidance and Deadlock Recovery Strategies

Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Endri Bezati

The analysis of the trace graphs generated by dataflow program executions has been shown to be an effective tool for exploring and optimizing the design space of application programs on manycore/multicore platforms. In this work a new approach aiming at fi ...
