Cooperative Concurrency Control for Write-Intensive Key-Value Workloads

Babak Falsafi, Alexandros Daglis, Mark Johnathon Sutherland

Key-Value Stores (KVS) are foundational infrastructure components for online services. Due to their latency-critical nature, today’s best-performing KVS contain a plethora of full-stack optimizations commonly targeting read-mostly, popularity-skewed worklo ...

Dense Image-based Predictions for Comics Analysis

Deblina Bhattacharjee

Dense image-based prediction methods have advanced tremendously in recent years. Their remarkable development has been possible due to the ample availability of real-world imagery. While these methods work well on photographs, their abilities do not genera ...

Dense Multitask Learning to Reconfigure Comics

Sabine Süsstrunk, Mathieu Salzmann, Deblina Bhattacharjee

In this paper, we develop a MultiTask Learning (MTL) model to achieve dense predictions for comic panels to, in turn, facilitate the transfer of comics from one publication channel to another by assisting authors in the task of reconfiguring their narrativ ...

Flow Time Scheduling and Prefix Beck-Fiala

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Lars Rohwedder

We relate discrepancy theory with the classic scheduling problems of minimizing max flow time and total flow time on unrelated machines. Specifically, we give a general reduction that allows us to transfer discrepancy bounds in the prefix Beck-Fiala (bound ...

Improving Main-memory Database System Performance through Cooperative Multitasking

Georgios Psaropoulos

Database systems access memory either sequentially or randomly. Contrary to sequential access and despite the extensive efforts of computer architects, compiler writers, and system builders, random access to data larger than the processor cache has been s ...

A Regularization Framework for Learning Over Multitask Graphs

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Roula Nassif

This letter proposes a general regularization framework for inference over multitask networks. The optimization approach relies on minimizing a global cost consisting of the aggregate sum of individual costs regularized by a term that allows to incorporate ...

Theory and Practice of Coroutines with Snapshots

Aleksandar Prokopec, Fengyun Liu

While event-driven programming is a widespread model for asynchronous computing, its inherent control flow fragmentation makes event-driven programs notoriously difficult to understand and maintain. Coroutines are a general control flow construct that can ...

A Scalable and Secure System Architecture for Smart Buildings

Georgios Lilis

Recent years has seen profound changes in building technologies both in Europe and worldwide. With the emergence of Smart Grid and Smart City concepts, the Smart Building has attracted considerable attention and rapid development. The introduction of novel ...

Near Optimal Work-Stealing Tree Scheduler for Highly Irregular Data-Parallel Workloads

Martin Odersky, Aleksandar Prokopec

We present a work-stealing algorithm for runtime scheduling of data-parallel operations in the context of shared-memory architectures on data sets with highly-irregular workloads that are not known a priori to the scheduler. This scheduler can parallelize ...

Task Scheduling for Highly Concurrent Analytical and Transactional Main-Memory Workloads

Anastasia Ailamaki, Iraklis Psaroudakis

Task scheduling typically employs a worker thread per hardware context to process a dynamically changing set of tasks. It is an appealing solution to exploit modern multi-core processors, as it eases parallelization and avoids unnecessary context switches ...

Quality embedded intelligent remanufacturing

Young Seok Kim

This thesis is motivated from the four keywords: remanufacturing, quality, multi-agent and intelligence. Recent years' environmental problems caused tightening the regulations and legislations for used products. Therefore remanufacturing is getting more at ...

Simplifying Distributed System Development

Viktor Kuncak, Dejan Kostic, Maysam Yabandeh, Nedeljko Vasic

Distributed systems are difficult to design and develop. The difficulties arise both in basic safety correctness properties, and in achieving high performance. As a result of this complexity, the implementation of a distributed system often contains the ba ...

Continuations in the Java Virtual Machine

Iulian Dragos, Antonio Cunei

Continuations have received considerable attention lately as a possible solution to web application development. Other uses proposed in the past, such as cooperative threading, coroutines or writing iterators, made them an attractive feature of dynamically ...

A multitasking and data-driven architecture for multi-agents simulations

Sébastien Schertenleib

The expansion of 3D real-time simulations (3DRTS) into millions of homes together with the technical progress of computers hardware force to approach software developments for 3DRTS from different perspectives. From an historical standpoint, 3DRTS started ...
