Text Similarity in Vector Space Models: A Comparative Study

Omid Shahmirzadi, Kenneth Younge, Adam Lugowski

Automatic measurement of semantic text similarity is an important task in natural language processing. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of different vector space models to perform this task. We address the real-world problem of modeling patent-to ...

High-Performance Communication Primitives and Data Structures on Message-Passing Manycores : Broadcast and Map

Omid Shahmirzadi

The constant increase in single core frequency reached a plateau during recent years since the produced heat inside the chip cannot be cooled down by existing technologies anymore. An alternative to harvest more computational power per die is to fabricate ...

High-Throughput Maps on Message-Passing Manycore Architectures: Partitioning versus Replication

André Schiper, Omid Shahmirzadi, Thomas Ropars

The advent of manycore architectures raises new scalability challenges for concurrent applications. Implementing scalable data structures is one of them. Several manycore architectures provide hardware message passing as a means to efficiently exchange dat ...

High-Performance RMA-Based Broadcast on the Intel SCC

André Schiper, Omid Shahmirzadi, Darko Petrovic, Thomas Ropars

Many-core chips with more than 1000 cores are expected by the end of the decade. To overcome scalability issues related to cache coherence at such a scale, one of the main research directions is to leverage the message-passing programming model. The Intel ...

Asynchronous Broadcast on the Intel SCC using Interrupts

André Schiper, Omid Shahmirzadi, Darko Petrovic, Thomas Ropars

This paper focuses on the design of an asynchronous broadcast primitive on the Intel SCC. Our solution is based on OC-Bcast, a state-of-the-art k-ary tree synchronous broadcast algorithm that leverages the parallelism provided by on-chip Remote Memory Acce ...

Relaxed Atomic Broadcast: State-Machine Replication Using Bounded Memory

André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Omid Shahmirzadi

Atomic broadcast is a useful abstraction for implementing fault-tolerant distributed applications such as state-machine replication. Although a number of algorithms solving atomic broadcast have been published, the problem of bounding the memory used by th ...
