The Smart Device Specification for Remote Labs

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann, Wissam Halimi, Sten Govaerts

This paper presents the Smart Device specification to interface with remote labs. To encourage the broader sharing of remote labs, the Smart Device paradigm decouples the client from the server and provides well-defined interfaces between client and server ...

Leveraging Hardware Message Passing for Efficient Thread Synchronization

André Schiper, Thomas Ropars, Darko Petrovic

As the level of parallelism in manycore processors keeps increasing, providing efficient mechanisms for thread synchronization in concurrent programs is becoming a major concern. On cache-coherent shared-memory processors, synchronization efficiency is ult ...

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 ...

Transaction Polymorphism

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli

Concurrent implementations of abstract types usually rely on lock-free primitives or locks and are highly tuned to support a finite set of efficient operations. However, it is very hard to extend such types for specific needs by adding new operations. The ...

Deadlock Immunity

Horatiu Jula

Deadlock immunity is a property by which programs, once afflicted by a deadlock, develop resistance against future occurrences of that deadlock. We enable real applications to automatically achieve immunity against deadlock bugs involving mutex locks, sema ...

Atomic boxes: coordinated exception handling with transactional memory

Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

In concurrent programs raising an exception in one thread does not prevent others from operating on an inconsistent shared state. Instead, exceptions should ideally be handled in coordination by all the threads that are affected by their cause. In this pap ...

Laws of Order: Expensive Synchronization in Concurrent Algorithms Cannot be Eliminated

Rachid Guerraoui, Hagit Albo Attiya

Building correct and efﬁcient concurrent algorithms is known to be a difﬁcult problem of fundamental importance. To achieve ef- ﬁciency, designers try to remove unnecessary and costly synchro- nization. However, not only is this manual trial-and-error proc ...

Isolated Actors for Race-Free Concurrent Programming

Philipp Haller

Message-based concurrency using actors has the potential to scale from multicore processors to distributed systems. However, several challenges remain until actor-based programming can be applied on a large scale. First, actor implementations must be effic ...
