Tight Bounds for Asynchronous Renaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

This article presents the first tight bounds on the time complexity of shared-memory renaming, a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which a set of processes need to pick distinct identifiers from a small namespace. We first prove an individual ...

Scale-Out NUMA

Babak Falsafi, Edouard Bugnion, Boris Robert Grot, Alexandros Daglis, Stanko Novakovic

Emerging datacenter applications operate on vast datasets that are kept in DRAM to minimize latency. The large number of servers needed to accommodate this massive memory footprint requires frequent server-to-server communication in applications such as ke ...

Synthesis of authenticable halftone images with non-luminescent halftones illuminated by an adjustable luminescent emissive layer

Roger Hersch, Julien Alexandre Andres

A method and computing system are proposed for producing an authenticable security device with two sides. The verso side is covered with an adjustable luminescent emissive layer formed by invisible luminescent ink halftones and possibly a UV absorbing prin ...

GentleRain: Cheap and Scalable Causal Consistency with Physical Clocks

Willy Zwaenepoel, Calin Iorgulescu, Jiaqing Du, Amitabha Roy

GentleRain is a new causally consistent geo-replicated data store that provides throughput comparable to eventual consistency and superior to current implementations of causal consistency. GentleRain uses a periodic aggregation protocol to deter- mine whet ...

Variable Threshold Algorithm for Division of Labor Analyzed as a Dynamical System

Inaki Navarro Oiza

Division of labor is a widely studied aspect of colony behavior of social insects. Division of labor models indicate how individuals distribute themselves in order to perform different tasks simultaneously. However, models that study division of labor from ...

Compute-and-Forward: Finding the Best Equation

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Saeid Sahraei

Compute-and-Forward is an emerging technique to deal with interference. It allows the receiver to decode a suitably chosen integer linear combination of the transmitted messages. The integer coefficients should be adapted to the channel fading state. Optim ...

Energy Efficient Collaborative Beamforming in Wireless Sensor Networks

Energy efficiency is a major design issue in the context of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). If the acquired data is to be sent to a far-away base station, collaborative beamforming performed by the sensors may help to distribute the communication load amon ...

Consensus Inside

Rachid Guerraoui, Maysam Yabandeh, Tudor Alexandru David

Scaling to a large number of cores with non-uniform communication latency and unpredictable response time may call for viewing a modern many-core architecture as a distributed system. In this view, the cores replicate shared data and ensure consistency amo ...

A Generic Trust Framework For Large-Scale Open Systems Using Machine Learning

Anwitaman Datta, Xin Liu

In many large-scale distributed systems and on the Web, agents need to interact with other unknown agents to carry out some tasks or transactions. The ability to reason about and assess the potential risks in carrying out such transactions is essential for ...
