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 ...

The VELOX Transactional Memory Stack

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Michal Kapalka, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Pascal Felber

The adoption of multi- and many-core architectures for mainstream computing undoubtedly brings profound changes in the way software is developed. In particular, the use of fine grained locking as the multi-core programmer’s coordination methodology is cons ...

Scala actors: Unifying thread-based and event-based programming

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller

There is an impedance mismatch between message-passing concurrency and virtual machines, such as the JVM. VMs usually map their threads to heavyweight OS processes. Without a lightweight process abstraction, users are often forced to write parts of concurr ...

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 ...

Scheduling threads for constructive cache sharing on CMPs

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi

In chip multiprocessors (CMPs), limiting the number of offchip cache misses is crucial for good performance. Many multithreaded programs provide opportunities for constructive cache sharing, in which concurrently scheduled threads share a largely overlappi ...

Continuations in the Java Virtual Machine

Iulian Dragos, Antonio Cunei

Continuations have received considerable attention lately as a possible solution to web application development. Other uses proposed in the past, such as cooperative threading, coroutines or writing iterators, made them an attractive feature of dynamically ...

Dynamic Capacity-Speed Tradeoffs in SMT Processor Caches

Caches are designed to provide the best tradeoff between access speed and capacity for a set of target applications. Unfortunately, different applications, and even different phases within the same application, may require a different capacity-speed tradeo ...

Parallel depth first vs. work stealing schedulers on CMP architectures

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi

In chip multiprocessors (CMPs), limiting the number of off-chip cache misses is crucial for good performance. Many multithreaded programs provide opportunities for constructive cache sharing, in which concurrently scheduled threads share a largely overlapp ...

Understanding the performance of concurrent error detecting superscalar microarchitectures

Babak Falsafi

Superscalar out-of-order microarchitectures can be modified to support redundant execution of a program as two concurrent threads for soft-error detection. However, the extra workload from redundant execution incurs a performance penalty due to increased c ...
