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 ...

TM2C: A software transactional memory for many-cores

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Vasileios Trigonakis

Transactional memory is an appealing paradigm for concurrent programming. Many software implementations of the paradigm were proposed in the last decades for both shared memory multi-core systems and clusters of distributed machines. However, chip manufact ...

Émulation de mémoire partagée en environnements distribués dynamiques

Vincent Gramoli

Most distributed systems are large-scale and dynamic. Communication has thus become a critical issue and the shared memory, which is a reliable paradigm of communication, allow distributed nodes to exchange information through read and write operations. In ...

The disagreement power of an adversary

Rachid Guerraoui

At the heart of distributed computing lies the fundamental result that the level of agreement that can be obtained in an asynchronous shared memory model where t processes can crash is exactly t + 1. In other words, an adversary that can crash any subset o ...

Fast Access to Distributed Atomic Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, Marko Vukolic, Ron Levy, Partha Dutta

We study eﬃcient and robust implementations of an atomic read-write data structure over an asynchronous distributed message-passing system made of reader and writer processes, as well as a number of servers implementing the data structure. We determine the ...

Chip-Level Redundancy in Distributed Shared-Memory Multiprocessors

Babak Falsafi

Distributed shared-memory (DSM) multi- processors provide a scalable hardware platform, but lack the necessary redundancy for mainframe-level reliability and availability. Chip-level redundancy in a DSM server faces a key challenge: the increased latency t ...

Simplifying Distributed System Development

Viktor Kuncak, Dejan Kostic, Maysam Yabandeh, Nedeljko Vasic

Distributed systems are difficult to design and develop. The difficulties arise both in basic safety correctness properties, and in achieving high performance. As a result of this complexity, the implementation of a distributed system often contains the ba ...

Failure detectors as type boosters

Rachid Guerraoui

The power of an object type T can be measured as the maximum number n of processes that can solve consensus using only objects of T and registers. This number, denoted cons(T), is called the consensus power of T. This paper addresses the question of the we ...
