Lock-Unlock: Is That All? A Pragmatic Analysis of Locking in Software Systems

Rachid Guerraoui, Vasileios Trigonakis

A plethora of optimized mutex lock algorithms have been designed over the past 25 years to mitigate performance bottlenecks related to critical sections and locks. Unfortunately, there is currently no broad study of the behavior of these optimized lock alg ...

Parallel high-performance multi-beam multi-bunch simulations

Xavier Buffat, Sondre Vik Furuseth

Coherent multi-bunch interactions can cause severe impacts on the beams in circular colliders. To understand the dynamics of such interactions, the accelerator physics community relies on high-performance tracking codes. Ensuring causality produces a sever ...

Optimized Quantization in Distributed Graph Signal Processing

Pascal Frossard, Isabela Cunha Maia Nobre

Distributed graph signal processing methods require that the graph nodes communicate by exchanging messages. These messages have a finite precision in a realistic network, which may necessitate to implement quantization. Quantization, in turn, generates er ...

PowerSGD: Practical Low-Rank Gradient Compression for Distributed Optimization

Martin Jaggi, Thijs Vogels

We study lossy gradient compression methods to alleviate the communication bottleneck in data-parallel distributed optimization. Despite the significant attention received, current compression schemes either do not scale well, or fail to achieve the target ...

Parallel-Correctness and Containment for Conjunctive Queries with Union and Negation

Bas Ketsman

Single-round multiway join algorithms first reshuffle data over many servers and then evaluate the query at hand in a parallel and communication-free way. A key question is whether a given distribution policy for the reshuffle is adequate for computing a g ...

The Impact of RDMA on Agreement

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Naama Ben David

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is becoming widely available in data centers. This technology allows a process to directly read and write the memory of a remote host, with a mechanism to control access permissions. In this paper, we study the fundamenta ...

Rethinking General-Purpose Decentralized Computing

Bryan Alexander Ford, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias, Georgia Fragkouli, Enis Ceyhun Alp

While showing great promise, smart contracts are difficult to program correctly, as they need a deep understanding of cryptography and distributed algorithms, and offer limited functionality, as they have to be deterministic and cannot operate on secret da ...
