Graph Chatbot

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.

A Data-oriented Transaction Execution Engine and Supporting Tools

Anastasia Ailamaki, Miguel Sérgio De Oliveira Branco, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Pinar Tözün, Ippokratis Pandis, Danica Porobic, Dimitrios Karampinas

Conventional OLTP systems assign each transaction to a worker thread and that thread accesses data, depending on what the transaction dictates. This thread-to-transaction work assignment policy leads to unpredictable accesses. The unpredictability forces e ...

Agent-Based Routing in Queueing Systems

Olivier Gallay

Waiting time in any network is often a costly and hence a bad experience. Therefore, to avoid jamming regions becomes essential in the optimization of traffic flows. In this regard, the conception and the control of complex networks supporting flows of uni ...

On the weakest failure detector ever

Rachid Guerraoui

Many problems in distributed computing are impossible to solve when no information about process failures is available. It is common to ask what information about failures is necessary and sufficient to circumvent some specific impossibility, e. g., consen ...

Optimistic Erasure Coded Distributed Storage

Rachid Guerraoui, Ron Levy, Partha Dutta

Erasure coded storage provides a cheap and space efficient way to tolerate failures through the use of networked commodity servers. Erasure coded data is kept on n different servers out of which f can fail. By combining encoded blocks from n-f servers, the ...

From unreliable objects to reliable objects: The case of atomic registers and consensus

Rachid Guerraoui

A concurrent object is an object that can be concurrently accessed by several processes. It has been shown by Maurice Herlihy that any concurrent object O defined by a sequential specification can be wait-free implemented from reliable atomic registers (sh ...

The Weakest Failure Detectors to Boost Obstruction-Freedom

Rachid Guerraoui, Michal Kapalka

It is considered good practice in concurrent computing to devise shared object implementations that ensure a minimal obstruction-free progress property and delegate the task of boosting liveness to independent generic oracles called contention managers. Th ...

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 ...

The Weakest Failure Detectors to Boost Obstruction-Freedom

Rachid Guerraoui, Michal Kapalka

This paper determines necessary and sufficient conditions to implement wait-free and non-blocking contention managers in a shared memory system. The necessary conditions hold even when universal objects (like compare-and-swap) or random oracles are availab ...
