Beyond Spectral Gap: The Role of the Topology in Decentralized Learning

Martin Jaggi, Thijs Vogels, Hadrien Hendrikx

In data-parallel optimization of machine learning models, workers collaborate to improve their estimates of the model: more accurate gradients allow them to use larger learning rates and optimize faster. In the decentralized setting, in which workers commu ...

Machine-learning predictor of nerve fiber firing rate allows the automatic optimization of electrical stimulation protocols

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni, Gabriele Marino

Computational models have been widely employed to study the electrical stimulation of the nervous system. Still, most applications either study fundamental mechanisms underlying stimulation, or address qualitative scientific questions. When quantitative qu ...

Dalton: Learned Partitioning for Distributed Data Streams

Anastasia Ailamaki, Ioannis Mytilinis, Eleni Zapridou

To sustain the input rate of high-throughput streams, modern stream processing systems rely on parallel execution. However, skewed data yield imbalanced load assignments and create stragglers that hinder scalability. Deciding on a static partitioning for a ...

Safe and Efficient Deployment of Data-Parallelisable Applications on Many-Core Platforms: Theory and Practice

Giovanni De Micheli, Federico Angiolini, Alena Simalatsar, Stefanos Skalistis

The safe and, at the same time, efficient deployment of parallelisable applications on many-core platforms is a challenging task. Theoretical Models of Computation (MoC) require the realistic estimation of task Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET ...

SMT-Based Checking of Predicate-Qualified Types for Scala

Viktor Kuncak, Georg Stefan Schmid

We present qualified types for Scala, a form of refinement types adapted to the Scala language. Qualified types allow users to refine base types and classes using predicate expressions. We implemented a type checker for qualified types that is embedded in ...

Compile-Time Type-Driven Data Representation Transformations in Object-Oriented Languages

Vlad Ureche

High-level languages allow programmers to express data structures and algorithms that abstract over the type of data they handle. This improves code reuse and makes it possible to develop general-purpose libraries. Yet, data abstractions slow down program ...

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 ...

Manual Parallelization Versus State-of-the-Art Parallelization Techniques: The SPEC CPU2006 as a Case Study

Aleksandar Vitorovic

Being multiprocessors (both on-chip and/or off-chip), modern computer systems can automatically exploit the benefits of parallel programs, but their resources remain underutilized in executing still-Prevailing sequential applications. An obvious solution i ...

Delite: A Compiler Architecture for Performance-Oriented Embedded Domain-Specific Languages

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf

Developing high-performance software is a difficult task that requires the use of low-level, architecture-specific programming models (e.g., OpenMP for CMPs, CUDA for GPUs, MPI for clusters). It is typically not possible to write a single application that ...
