Toward Mobile Distributed Ledgers

Boi Faltings, Sujit Prakash Gujar, Dimitrios Chatzopoulos, Anurag Jain

Advances in mobile computing have paved the way for new types of distributed applications that can be executed solely by mobile devices on Device-to-Device (D2D) ecosystems (e.g., crowdsensing). Sophisticated applications, like cryptocurrencies, need distr ...

Decentralized in-order execution of a sequential task-based code for shared-memory architectures

Charly Nicolas Lucien Castes

The hardware complexity of modern machines makes the design of adequate programming models crucial for jointly ensuring performance, portability, and productivity in high-performance computing (HPC). Sequential task-based programming models paired with adv ...

A Comprehensive Timing Model for Accurate Frequency Tuning in Dataflow Circuits

Paolo Ienne, Lana Josipovic, Andrea Guerrieri, Carmine Rizzi

The ability of dataflow circuits to implement dynamic scheduling promises to overcome the conservatism of static scheduling techniques that high-level synthesis tools typically rely on. Yet, the same distributed control mechanism that allows dataflow circu ...

Robustness against Read Committed for Transaction Templates

Christoph Koch, Bas Ketsman

The isolation level Multiversion Read Committed (RC), offered by many database systems, is known to trade consistency for increased transaction throughput. Sometimes, transaction workloads can be safely executed under RC obtaining the perfect isolation of ...

NrOS: Effective Replication and Sharing in an Operating System

Sanidhya Kashyap, Ankit Bhardwaj

Writing a correct operating system kernel is notoriously hard. Kernel code requires manual memory management and type-unsafe code and must efficiently handle complex, asynchronous events. In addition, increasing CPU core counts further complicate kernel de ...

Dynamic Byzantine Reliable Broadcast

Rachid Guerraoui, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi, Jovan Komatovic, Andrei Tonkikh

Reliable broadcast is a communication primitive guaranteeing, intuitively, that all processes in a distributed system deliver the same set of messages. The reason why this primitive is appealing is twofold: (i) we can implement it deterministically in a co ...

Asynchronous distributed coordination and consensus with threshold logical clocks

Bryan Alexander Ford

Consensus protocols for asynchronous networks are usually complex and inefficient, leading practical systems to rely on synchronous protocols. The invention proposes an approach to simplify asynchronous consensus by building it atop a novel threshold logic ...
