On the Performance of Delegation over Cache-Coherent Shared Memory

André Schiper, Thomas Ropars, Darko Petrovic

Delegation is a thread synchronization technique where access to shared data is performed through a dedicated server thread. When a client thread requires shared data access, it makes a request to a server and waits for a response. This paper studies deleg ...

Transactions Chasing Scalability and Instruction Locality on Multicores

Pinar Tözün

For several decades, online transaction processing (OLTP) has been one of the main server applications that drives innovations in the data management ecosystem, and in turn the database and computer architecture communities. Recent hardware trends oblige s ...

Limit Behaviour of the Voter Model, Exclusion Process and Regenerative Chains

Samuel Schöpfer

Though the following topics seem unlinked, most of the tools used in this thesis are related to random walks and renewal theory. After introducing the voter model, we consider the parabolic Anderson model with the voter model as catalyst. In GÄRTNER, DEN H ...

A Data-oriented Transaction Execution Engine and Supporting Tools

Anastasia Ailamaki, Miguel Sérgio De Oliveira Branco, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Pinar Tözün, Ippokratis Pandis, Danica Porobic, Dimitrios Karampinas

Conventional OLTP systems assign each transaction to a worker thread and that thread accesses data, depending on what the transaction dictates. This thread-to-transaction work assignment policy leads to unpredictable accesses. The unpredictability forces e ...

Significance Driven Computation on Next-Generation Unreliable Platforms

Vaibhav Gupta, Georgios Karakonstantis

In this paper, we propose a design paradigm for energy efficient and variation-aware operation of next-generation multicore heterogeneous platforms. The main idea behind the proposed approach lies on the observation that not all operations are equally impo ...

Émulation de mémoire partagée en environnements distribués dynamiques

Vincent Gramoli

Most distributed systems are large-scale and dynamic. Communication has thus become a critical issue and the shared memory, which is a reliable paradigm of communication, allow distributed nodes to exchange information through read and write operations. In ...

QoS-ocMPI: QoS-aware on-chip Message Passing Library for NoC-based Many-Core MPSoCs

Giovanni De Micheli, Federico Angiolini, Jaime Joven Murillo

Homogeneous and heterogeneous NoC-based manycore MPSoCs are becoming widespread in many application areas. The diversity and spare network traffic characteristics generated by the IPs makes mandatory to provide certain Quality of Service (QoS) support for ...

Virtual Ways: Efficient Coherence for Architecturally Visible Storage in Automatic Instruction Set Extensions

Edoardo Charbon, Paolo Ienne, Ties Jan Henderikus Kluter, Samuel Burri, Philip Brisk

Customizable processors augmented with application-specific Instruction Set Extensions (ISEs) have begun to gain traction in recent years. The most effective ISEs include Architecturally Visible Storage (AVS), compiler-controlled memories accessible exclus ...

Stochastic Algorithm and Analysis of amino-acyl-tRNA Competition in Translation

Adam Stefaniuk

This work deals with the creation of a stochastic algorithm for aa-tRNA competition during translation using an abstraction of the biological model. The major challenges were to manage aa-tRNA specie specific input information in order to deal with eventua ...

High-Performance Transactional Event Processing

Rachid Guerraoui, Jesper Honig Spring, Antonio Cunei

This paper presents a transactional framework for low-latency, high-performance, concurrent event processing in Java. At the heart of our framework lies Reﬂexes, a restricted programming model for highly responsive systems. A Reﬂex task is an event process ...
