Leaderless consensus

Rachid Guerraoui, Gauthier Jérôme Timothée Voron, Vincent Gramoli, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Karolos Antoniadis, Antoine Philippe Matthieu Desjardins

Classic synchronous consensus algorithms are leaderless in that processes exchange proposals, choose the maximum value and decide when they see the same choice across a couple of rounds. Indulgent consensus algorithms are typically leader-based. Although t ...

Understanding Computational Costs of Cellular-Level Brain Tissue Simulations Through Analytical Performance Models

Felix Schürmann, Francesco Cremonesi

Computational modeling and simulation have become essential tools in the quest to better understand the brain's makeup and to decipher the causal interrelations of its components. The breadth of biochemical and biophysical processes and structures in the b ...

Fully-Asynchronous Cache-Efficient Simulation of Detailed Neural Networks

Felix Schürmann, Michael Lee Hines

Modern asynchronous runtime systems allow the re-thinking of large-scale scientific applications. With the example of a simulator of morphologically detailed neural networks, we show how detaching from the commonly used bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) exec ...
