Optimizing Transactions for Captured Memory

In this paper, we identify transaction-local memory as a major source of overhead from compiler instrumentation in software transactional memory (STM). Transaction-local memory is memory allocated inside a transaction, which cannot escape (i.e., is capture ...

On the Impossibility of Strong Encryption over \aleph_{0}

Serge Vaudenay

We give two impossibility results regarding strong encryption over an infinite enumerable domain. The first one relates to statistically secure one-time encryption. The second one relates to computationally secure encryption resisting adaptive chosen ciphe ...

Reflexes: programming abstractions for highly responsive computing in Java

Jesper Honig Spring

Achieving sub-millisecond response times in a managed language environment such as Java introduces significant implementation challenges. The Achilles' heel of Java is its reliance on automatic memory management for reclaiming dead objects. Typically, the ...

Abolish Runtime Systems: Operating Systems Should Control the Execution

James Richard Larus

Singularity [1] is a research project in Microsoft Research that started with a question: what would a software platform look like if it was designed from scratch with the primary goal of dependability? Singularity is working to answer this question by bui ...

Optimal Asynchronous Garbage Collection for RDT Checkpointing Protocols

Rodrigo Malta Schmidt, Fernando Pedone

Communication-induced checkpointing protocols that ensure rollback-dependency trackability (RDT) guarantee important properties to the recovery system without explicit coordination. However, to the best of our knowledge, there was no garbage collection alg ...

Energy Characterization of Garbage Collectors for Dynamic Applications on Embedded Systems

David Atienza Alonso

Modern embedded devices (e.g. PDAs, mobile phones) are now incorporating Java as a very popular implementation language in their designs. These new embedded systems include multiple complex applications (e.g. 3D rendering applications) that are dynamically ...

Performance Evaluation of Barrier Techniques for Distributed Tracing Garbage Collector

David Atienza Alonso

Currently, software engineering is becoming even more complex due to distributed computing. In this new context, portability is one of the key issues and hence a cluster-aware Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that can transparently execute Java applications in a ...

Garbage Collector Refinement for New Dynamic Multimedia Applications on Embedded Systems

David Atienza Alonso

New consumer embedded devices must execute concurrently multiple services (e.g. multimedia applications) that are dynamically triggered by the user. For these new embedded multimedia applications, the dynamic memory subsystem is currently one of the main s ...

Custom Design of Multi-Level Dynamic Memory Management Subsystem for Embedded Systems

David Atienza Alonso

Modern embedded systems have to run new dynamic wireless network and multimedia applications. As a result, these systems must provide run-time memory management support to allow real-time memory de/allocation, retrieving and processing of data while very l ...
