Numerical Study of the Attosecond Free-Electron Laser Pulse Generation in the Soft X-ray Regime at the SwissFEL

Isolated attosecond pulses from an X-ray free-electron laser are in high demand for attosecond science, which enables the probing of electron dynamics by X-ray nonlinear spectroscopy and single-particle imaging. The aim of this thesis is to simulate attos ...

Human-machine interface for two-dimensional steering control with the auricular muscles

Silvestro Micera, Solaiman Shokur, Daniel Jose Lins Leal Pinheiro

Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) can be used to decode a user's motor intention to control an external device. People that suffer from motor disabilities, such as spinal cord injury, can benefit from the uses of these interfaces. While many solutions can be ...

Efficient Multi-Word Compare and Swap

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi

Atomic lock-free multi-word compare-and-swap (MCAS) is a powerful tool for designing concurrent algorithms. Yet, its widespread usage has been limited because lock-free implementations of MCAS make heavy use of expensive compare-and-swap (CAS) instructions ...

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 ...

Scalable Synchronization in Shared-Memory Systems: Extrapolating, Adapting, Tuning

Georgios Chatzopoulos

As hardware evolves, so do the needs of applications. To increase the performance of an application, there exist two well-known approaches. These are scaling up an application, using a larger multi-core platform, or scaling out, by distributing work to mul ...

Precisely Regulated and Efficient Locking of Linear Peptides into Stable Multicyclic Topologies through a One-Pot Reaction

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong

We report the discovery of a small phenyl molecule with four isosteric thiolate-reactive groups of sequentially varied reactivity. This molecule was exploited in combination with cysteine/penicillamine thiolates of different nucleophilic reactivity for pre ...

Universally Scalable Concurrent Data Structures

Tudor Alexandru David

The increase in the number of cores in processors has been an important trend over the past decade. In order to be able to efficiently use such architectures, modern software must be scalable: performance should increase proportionally to the number of all ...

Locking Made Easy

Rachid Guerraoui, Vasileios Trigonakis, Georgios Chatzopoulos

A priori, locking seems easy: To protect shared data from concurrent accesses, it is sufficient to lock before accessing the data and unlock after. Nevertheless, making locking efficient requires fine-tuning (a) the granularity of locks and (b) the locking ...

Concurrent Tries with Efficient Non-Blocking Snapshots

Martin Odersky, Aleksandar Prokopec

We describe a non-blocking concurrent hash trie based on shared-memory single-word compare-and-swap instructions. The hash trie supports standard mutable lock-free operations such as insertion, removal, lookup and their conditional variants. To ensure spac ...

Brief Announcement: Transaction Polymorphism

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli

In this work, we present transaction polymorphism; a synchronization technique that provides more control to the programmer than traditional (i.e., monomorphic) transactions to achieve comparable performance to generic lock-based and lock-free solutions. ...

Deadlock Immunity : Enabling General-Purpose Software to Defend Itself against Deadlocks

Horatiu Jula

Deadlock immunity is a property by which programs, once afflicted by a deadlock, develop resistance against future occurrences of that deadlock. We enable real applications to automatically achieve immunity against deadlock bugs involving mutex locks, sema ...

Improving OLTP Scalability Using Speculative Lock Inheritance

Anastasia Ailamaki, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Ippokratis Pandis

Transaction processing workloads provide ample request level concurrency which highly parallel architectures can exploit. However, the resulting heavy utilization of core database services also causes resource contention within the database engine itself a ...

Emergent multipolar spin correlations in a fluctuating spiral: The frustrated ferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain in a magnetic field

We present the phase diagram of the frustrated ferromagnetic S=1/2 Heisenberg J(1)-J(2) chain in a magnetic field, obtained by large scale exact diagonalizations and density matrix renormalization group simulations. A vector chirally ordered state, metamag ...

Comparison of Database Replication Techniques Based on Total Order Broadcast

André Schiper, Matthias Wiesmann

In this paper, we present a performance comparison of database replication techniques based on total order broadcast. While the performance of total order broadcast-based replication techniques has been studied in previous papers, this paper presents many ...
