Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Universally Scalable Concurrent Data Structures

Tudor Alexandru David

The increase in the number of cores in processors has been an important trend over the past decade. In order to be able to efficiently use such architectures, modern software must be scalable: performance should increase proportionally to the number of all ...

Locking Timestamps Versus Locking Objects

Rachid Guerraoui, Tudor Alexandru David

We present multiversion timestamp locking (MVTL), a new genre of multiversion concurrency control algorithms for serializable transactions. The key idea behind MVTL is simple and novel: lock individual time points instead of locking objects or versions. Af ...

Locking Made Easy

Rachid Guerraoui, Vasileios Trigonakis, Georgios Chatzopoulos, Jelena Antic

A priori, locking seems easy: To protect shared data from concurrent accesses, it is sufficient to lock before accessing the data and unlock after. Nevertheless, making locking efficient requires fine-tuning (a) the granularity of locks and (b) the locking ...

Radiography appliance comprising a movable arm

Thomas Gabella

The invention relates to a radiography appliance comprising a column and a movable arm mounted such that it slides along the column and rotates about an axis oriented perpendicularly to the main direction of the column, one end of the arm comprising a dete ...

Real-Time Control of Sawteeth and NTMs in TCV and ITER

Doohyun Kim

The main goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the capability of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) instability control, particularly sawteeth and neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs), in order to achieve high performance operation. Experiments and simulations have b ...

Robust synchronization of coupled circadian and cell cycle oscillators in single mammalian cells

Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Kyle Gustafson, Jonathan Bieler, Rosamaria Cannavo

Circadian cycles and cell cycles are two fundamental periodic processes with a period in the range of 1 day. Consequently, coupling between such cycles can lead to synchronization. Here, we estimated the mutual interactions between the two oscillators by t ...

Concurrent Tries with Efficient Non-Blocking Snapshots

Martin Odersky, Aleksandar Prokopec

We describe a non-blocking concurrent hash trie based on shared-memory single-word compare-and-swap instructions. The hash trie supports standard mutable lock-free operations such as insertion, removal, lookup and their conditional variants. To ensure spac ...

Brief Announcement: Transaction Polymorphism

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli

In this work, we present transaction polymorphism; a synchronization technique that provides more control to the programmer than traditional (i.e., monomorphic) transactions to achieve comparable performance to generic lock-based and lock-free solutions. ...

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 ...

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 ...
