Asynchronous Branch-Paralle Simulation of Detailed Neuron Models

Michael Lee Hines

Simulations of electrical activity of networks of morphologically detailed neuron models allow for a better understanding of the brain. State-of-the-art simulations describe the dynamics of ionic currents and biochemical processes within branching topologi ...

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 ...

Scaling Byzantine Fault Tolerance

Matej Pavlovic

Online services are becoming more and more ubiquitous and keep growing in scale. At the same time, they are required to be highly available, secure, energy-efficient, and to achieve high performance. To ensure these (and many other) properties, replication ...

Passing Messages while Sharing Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, Naama Ben David

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 ...

Network-Compute Co-Design for Distributed In-Memory Computing

Alexandros Daglis

The booming popularity of online services is rapidly raising the demands for modern datacenters. In order to cope with data deluge, growing user bases, and tight quality of service constraints, service providers deploy massive datacenters with tens to hund ...

The Tragedy of the Megastructure

Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon

Relating the megastructure to the issue of the Commons is a useful exercise to understand the success and the disappearance of what Peter Reyner Banham called the “dinosaurs of the Modern Movement”. All these large-scale constructions suffered the same fat ...

The Disclosure Power of Shared Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Julien Michel Stainer, Peva François Blanchard

Shared objects are the means by which processes gather and exchange information about the state of a distributed system. Objects that disclose more information about the system are therefore more desirable. In this paper, we propose the schedule reconstruc ...

The Disclosure Power of Shared Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Julien Michel Stainer, Peva François Blanchard

Shared objects are the means by which processes gather and exchange information about the state of a distributed system. Objects that disclose more information about the system—and thus provide a more centralized view—are therefore more desirable. In this ...

TiD-Introducing and Benchmarking an Event-Delivery System for Brain-Computer Interfaces

Robert Leeb, Michele Tavella

In this paper, we present and analyze an event distribution system for brain-computer interfaces. Events are commonly used to mark and describe incidents during an experiment and are therefore critical for later data analysis or immediate real-time process ...

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 ...
