OneFile: A Wait-free Persistent Transactional Memory

A persistent transactional memory (PTM) library provides an easy-to-use interface to programmers for using byte-addressable non-volatile memory (NVM). Previously proposed PTMs have, so far, been blocking. We present OneFile, the first wait-free PTM with in ...

Scalable Synchronization in Shared-Memory Systems: Extrapolating, Adapting, Tuning

Georgios Chatzopoulos

As hardware evolves, so do the needs of applications. To increase the performance of an application, there exist two well-known approaches. These are scaling up an application, using a larger multi-core platform, or scaling out, by distributing work to mul ...

State Machine Replication is More Expensive than Consensus

Rachid Guerraoui, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi, Karolos Antoniadis

Consensus and State Machine Replication (SMR) are generally considered to be equivalent problems. In certain system models, indeed, the two problems are computationally equivalent: any solution to the former problem leads to a solution to the latter, and v ...

MOOLs for MOOCs: A first edX scalable implementation

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann, Yves Henri Philippe Piguet

Deploying remote laboratories at a large scale is the next challenge in remote experimentation. It is referred as Massive Open Online Labs (MOOLs). Being able to sustain a massive number of users accessing a specific resource concurrently is a complex task ...

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 ...

Fast and Robust Memory Reclamation for Concurrent Data Structures

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Oana Maria Balmau

In concurrent systems without automatic garbage collection, it is challenging to determine when it is safe to reclaim memory, especially for lock-free data structures. Existing concurrent memory reclamation schemes are either fast but do not tolerate proce ...

A Scala Library for Testing Student Assignments on Concurrent Programming

Mikaël Mayer, Ravichandhran Kandhadai Madhavan

We present a lightweight library for testing concurrent Scala programs by systematically exploring multiple interleavings between user-specified operations on shared objects. Our library is targeted at beginners of concurrent programming in Scala, runs on ...

Right On Time Distributed Shared Memory

Rachid Guerraoui, David Kozhaya, Yvonne Anne Pignolet-Oswald

The demand for real-time data storage in distributed control systems (DCSs) is growing. Yet, providing real- time DCS guarantees is challenging, especially when more and more sensor and actuator devices are connected to industrial plants and message loss n ...

Dataflow Programs Analysis and Optimization Using Model Predictive Control Techniques. Two Examples of Bounded Buffer Scheduling: Deadlock Avoidance and Deadlock Recovery Strategies

Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Endri Bezati

The analysis of the trace graphs generated by dataflow program executions has been shown to be an effective tool for exploring and optimizing the design space of application programs on manycore/multicore platforms. In this work a new approach aiming at fi ...

Distributed Deconfliction Algorithm for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with Limited Range and Field of View Sensors

Denis Gillet, Alcherio Martinoli, Steven Adriaan Roelofsen

This paper proposes a novel approach for collision avoidance between Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with limited range and field of view sensors. The algorithm is designed for unicycle vehicles that need to fly above a specific minimal speed to maintain f ...
