Cooperative Concurrency Control for Write-Intensive Key-Value Workloads

Babak Falsafi, Alexandros Daglis, Mark Johnathon Sutherland

Key-Value Stores (KVS) are foundational infrastructure components for online services. Due to their latency-critical nature, today’s best-performing KVS contain a plethora of full-stack optimizations commonly targeting read-mostly, popularity-skewed worklo ...

Dense Image-based Predictions for Comics Analysis

Deblina Bhattacharjee

Dense image-based prediction methods have advanced tremendously in recent years. Their remarkable development has been possible due to the ample availability of real-world imagery. While these methods work well on photographs, their abilities do not genera ...

Dense Multitask Learning to Reconfigure Comics

Sabine Süsstrunk, Mathieu Salzmann, Deblina Bhattacharjee

In this paper, we develop a MultiTask Learning (MTL) model to achieve dense predictions for comic panels to, in turn, facilitate the transfer of comics from one publication channel to another by assisting authors in the task of reconfiguring their narrativ ...

Flow Time Scheduling and Prefix Beck-Fiala

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Lars Rohwedder

We relate discrepancy theory with the classic scheduling problems of minimizing max flow time and total flow time on unrelated machines. Specifically, we give a general reduction that allows us to transfer discrepancy bounds in the prefix Beck-Fiala (bound ...

Improving Main-memory Database System Performance through Cooperative Multitasking

Georgios Psaropoulos

Database systems access memory either sequentially or randomly. Contrary to sequential access and despite the extensive efforts of computer architects, compiler writers, and system builders, random access to data larger than the processor cache has been s ...

A Regularization Framework for Learning Over Multitask Graphs

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Roula Nassif

This letter proposes a general regularization framework for inference over multitask networks. The optimization approach relies on minimizing a global cost consisting of the aggregate sum of individual costs regularized by a term that allows to incorporate ...

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 ...

Theory and Practice of Coroutines with Snapshots

Aleksandar Prokopec, Fengyun Liu

While event-driven programming is a widespread model for asynchronous computing, its inherent control flow fragmentation makes event-driven programs notoriously difficult to understand and maintain. Coroutines are a general control flow construct that can ...

Decentralized Clustering and Linking by Networked Agents

Ali H. Sayed, Ali Zoubir

We consider the problem of decentralized clustering and estimation over multitask networks, where agents infer and track different models of interest. The agents do not know beforehand which model is generating their own data. They also do not know which a ...
