On a Near Optimal Work-Stealing Tree Data-Parallel Scheduler for Highly Irregular Workloads

Martin Odersky, Aleksandar Prokopec

We present a work-stealing algorithm for runtime scheduling of dataparallel operations in the context of shared-memory architectures on data sets with highly-irregular workloads that are not known a priori to the scheduler. This scheduler can parallelize l ...

Architectural Support for Coherent Architecturally Visible Storage in Instruction Set Extensions

Ties Jan Henderikus Kluter

When it comes to performance, embedded systems share many problems with their higher-end counterparts. The growing gap between top processor frequency and memory access speed, the memory wall, is one such problem. Driven, in part, by low energy consumption ...

MPSoC Design using Application-Specific Architecturally Visible Communication

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

This paper advocates the placement of Architecturally Visible Communication (AVC) buffers between adjacent cores in MPSoCs to provide high-throughput communication for streaming applications. Producer/consumer relationships map poorly onto cache-based MPSo ...

PAI: A lightweight mechanism for single-node memory recovery in DSM servers

Babak Falsafi

Several recent studies identify the memory system as the most frequent source of hardware failures in commercial servers. Techniques to protect the memory system from failures must continue to service memory requests, despite hardware failures. Furthermore ...

Anonymous and Fault-Tolerant Shared-Memory Computing

Rachid Guerraoui, Eric Ruppert

The vast majority of papers on distributed computing assume that processes are assigned unique identifiers before computation begins. But is this assumption necessary? What if processes do not have unique identifiers or do not wish to divulge them for re ...

Sealing OS Processes to Improve Dependability and Safety

James Richard Larus

In most modern operating systems, a process is a hardware-protected abstraction for isolating code and data. This protection, however, is selective. Many common mechanisms---dynamic code loading, run-time code generation, shared memory, and intrusive syste ...

The Alpha of Indulgent Consensus

Rachid Guerraoui

This paper presents a simple framework unifying a family of consensus algorithms that can tolerate process crash failures and asynchronous periods of the network, also called indulgent consensus algorithms. Key to the framework is a new abstraction we intr ...

Rendering massive real-time crowds

Pablo Stanislaw De Heras Ciechomski

This thesis presents how to visualize a large crowd of virtual human characters in real time on a standard issue personal computer. The virtual humans are distributed into rendering fidelities such that the humans closer to the viewer are detailed and expr ...

Temporal Streaming of Shared Memory

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi

Coherent read misses in shared-memory multiprocessors account for a substantial fraction of execution time in many important scientific and commercial workloads. We propose Temporal Streaming, to eliminate coherent read misses by streaming data to a proces ...
