Asynchronous diffusion adaptation over networks

Ali H. Sayed

This work studies the asynchronous behavior of diffusion adaptation strategies for distributed optimization over networks. Under the assumed model, agents in the network may stop updating their estimates or may stop exchanging information at random times. ...

Miniboxing: An Encoding for Specialization

Cristian Talau

In the presence of parametric polymorphism, erasure-based languages such as Java and Scala handle primitives (boolean values, integers and floating point numbers) in a suboptimal way: in order to provide a uniform representation on the low level, all primi ...

On the Performance of Software Transactional Memory

Aleksandar Dragojevic

The recent proliferation of multi-core processors has moved concurrent programming into mainstream by forcing increasingly more programmers to write parallel code. Using traditional concurrency techniques, such as locking, is notoriously difficult and has ...

Why STM can be more than a Research Toy

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Pascal Felber

Software Transactional Memory (STM) promises to simplify concurrent programming without requiring specific hardware support. Yet, STM’s credibility lies on the extent to which it enables to leverage multicores and outperform sequential code. A recent CACM ...

Leveraging Parallel Nesting in Transactional Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, Michal Kapalka, Aleksandar Dragojevic

Exploiting the emerging reality of affordable multi-core architectures goes through providing programmers with simple abstractions that would enable them to easily turn their sequential programs into concurrent ones that expose as much parallelism as possi ...

Actors that Unify Threads and Events

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller

In practice, concurrent programming systems based on message passing are often instantiations of the actor model. A popular implementation of this form of concurrency is the Erlang programming language. Erlang supports massively concurrent systems such as ...

Towards CPU Load Prediction for Java Bytecode

Andrea Camesi

This paper studies the use of bytecode instruction counting (BIC) to estimate the CPU load due to the execution of Java programs in different environments. BIC is the basis of the J-RAF2 framework to monitor and control the resource consumption of Java cod ...

On the complexity of integer programming in fixed dimension

Friedrich Eisenbrand

Summary form only given. Integer programming is the problem of maximizing a linear function over the integer vectors which satisfy a given set of inequalities. A wide range of combinatorial optimization problems can be modeled as integer programming proble ...

Distributed programming with typed events

Rachid Guerraoui, Patrick Eugster

The remote-procedure-call abstraction, including its derivates (underlying, for example, Java RMI, CORBA, and .NET), currently represents one of the most popular paradigms for devising distributed applications. Objects (when acting as servers) are invoked ...
