Request, Coalesce, Serve, and Forget: Miss-Optimized Memory Systems for Bandwidth-Bound Cache-Unfriendly Applications on FPGAs

Applications such as large-scale sparse linear algebra and graph analytics are challenging to accelerate on FPGAs due to the short irregular memory accesses, resulting in low cache hit rates. Nonblocking caches reduce the bandwidth required by misses by re ...

Stop Crying Over Your Cache Miss Rate: Handling Efficiently Thousands of Outstanding Misses in FPGAs

Paolo Ienne, Mikhail Asiatici

FPGAs rely on massive datapath parallelism to accelerate applications even with a low clock frequency. However, applications such as sparse linear algebra and graph analytics have their throughput limited by irregular accesses to external memory for which ...

Closing the Performance Gap Between Volatile and Persistent Key-Value Stores Using Cross-Referencing Logs

Matej Pavlovic

Key-Value (K-V) stores are an integral building block in modern datacenter applications. With byteaddressable persistent memory (PM) technologies, such as Intel/Micron's 3D XPoint, on the horizon, there has been an influx of new high performance K-V stores ...

Log-Free Concurrent Data Structures

Rachid Guerraoui, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Tudor Alexandru David

Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) makes it possible for data structures to tolerate transient failures, assuming however that programmers have designed these structures such that their consistency is preserved upon recovery. Previous ap- proaches are typically tran ...

Efficient Logging in Non-Volatile Memory by Exploiting Coherency Protocols

James Richard Larus, Nachshon Cohen

Non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies such as PCM, ReRAM and STT-RAM allow processors to directly write values to persistent storage at speeds that are significantly faster than previous durable media such as hard drives or SSDs. Many applications of NVM ...

Elastic transactions

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Pascal Felber

This paper presents elastic transactions, an appealing alternative to traditional transactions, in particular to implement search structures in shared memory multicore architectures. Upon conflict detection, an elastic transaction might drop what it did so ...

Optimistic Concurrency with OPTIK

Rachid Guerraoui, Vasileios Trigonakis

We introduce OPTIK, a new practical design pattern for designing and implementing fast and scalable concurrent data structures. OPTIK relies on the commonly-used technique of version numbers for detecting conflicting concurrent operations. We show how to i ...

Learning Image Descriptors with Boosting

Vincent Lepetit, Tomasz Piotr Trzcinski, Christos Marios Christoudias

We propose a novel and general framework to learn compact but highly discriminative floating-point and binary local feature descriptors. By leveraging the boosting-trick we first show how to efficiently train a compact floating-point descriptor that is ver ...

Efficient Recursive Diffusion Layers for Block Ciphers, and Hash Functions

Pouyan Sepehrdad

Many modern block ciphers use maximum distance separable (MDS) matrices as the main part of their diffusion layers. In this paper, we propose a very efficient new class of diffusion layers constructed from several rounds of Feistel-like structures whose ro ...

Creating Shared Secrets out of Thin Air

Aikaterini Argyraki, Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Iris Safaka

Current security systems typically rely on the adversary's computational limitations (e.g., the fact that it cannot invert a hash function or perform large-integer factorization). Wireless networks offer the opportunity for a different, complementary kind ...

Efficient Hashing Using the AES Instruction Set

Joppe Willem Bos, Martijn Stam, Onur Özen

In this work, we provide a software benchmark for a large range of 256-bit blockcipher-based hash functions. We instantiate the underlying blockcipher with AES, which allows us to exploit the recent AES instruction set (AESNI). Since AES itself only output ...

Cryptographic Hash Functions in Groups and Provable Properties

An Analysis of the Blockcipher-Based Hash Functions from PGV

Martijn Stam

Preneel, Govaerts, and Vandewalle (1993) considered the 64 most basic ways to construct a hash function H: {0, 1}*->{0, 1}(n) from a blockcipher E: {0, 1}(n) x {0, 1}(n)->{0,1}(n). They regarded 12 of these 64 schemes as secure, though no proofs or formal ...
