Using Process Calculus for Optimizing Data and Computation Sharing in Complex Stateful Parallel Computations

We propose novel techniques that exploit data and computation sharing to improve the performance of complex stateful parallel computations, like agent-based simulations. Parallel computations are translated into behavioral equations, a novel formalism laye ...

Generalizing Bulk-Synchronous Parallel Processing for Data Science: From Data to Threads and Agent-Based Simulations

Zilu Tian

Agent-based simulations have been widely applied in many disciplines, by scientists and engineers alike. Scientists use agent-based simulations to tackle global problems, including alleviating poverty, reducing violence, and predicting the impact of pandem ...

From C/C plus plus Code to High-Performance Dataflow Circuits

Paolo Ienne, Andrea Guerrieri, Lana Josipovic

High-level synthesis (HLS) tools typically generate statically scheduled datapaths. Static scheduling implies that the resulting circuits have a hard time exploiting parallelism in code with potential memory dependences, with control dependences, or where ...

A Comprehensive Timing Model for Accurate Frequency Tuning in Dataflow Circuits

Paolo Ienne, Andrea Guerrieri, Lana Josipovic

The ability of dataflow circuits to implement dynamic scheduling promises to overcome the conservatism of static scheduling techniques that high-level synthesis tools typically rely on. Yet, the same distributed control mechanism that allows dataflow circu ...

Leaderless Consensus

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Karolos Antoniadis

Classical synchronous consensus algorithms are leaderless: processes exchange their proposals, retain the maximum value and decide when they see the same choice across a couple of rounds. Indulgent consensus algorithms are more robust in that they only req ...

Distributed Computing with Modern Shared Memory

Mihail Igor Zablotchi

In this thesis, we revisit classic problems in shared-memory distributed computing through the lenses of (1) emerging hardware technologies and (2) changing requirements. Our contributions consist, on the one hand, in providing a better understanding of th ...

Scaling Byzantine Fault Tolerance

Matej Pavlovic

Online services are becoming more and more ubiquitous and keep growing in scale. At the same time, they are required to be highly available, secure, energy-efficient, and to achieve high performance. To ensure these (and many other) properties, replication ...

Asynchronous Simulation of Neuronal Activity

Bruno Ricardo Da Cunha Magalhães

Simulations of the electrical activity of networks of morphologically-detailed neuron models allow for a better understanding of the brain. Short time to solution is critical in order to study long biological processes such as synaptic plasticity and learn ...

Exploiting Flow Graph of System of ODEs to Accelerate the Simulation of Biologically-Detailed Neural Networks

Felix Schürmann, Bruno Ricardo Da Cunha Magalhães

Exposing parallelism in scientific applications has become a core requirement for efficiently running on modern distributed multicore SIMD compute architectures. The granularity of parallelism that can be attained is a key determinant for the achievable ac ...

System Support for Efficient Replication in Distributed Systems

Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi

Current online applications, such as search engines, social networks, or file sharing services, execute across a distributed network of machines. They provide non-stop services to their users despite failures in the underlying network. To achieve such a hi ...

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 Programming Model and Foundation for Lineage-Based Distributed Computation

Philipp Haller, Heather Christine Klug

The most successful systems for "big data'' processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate, or middleware, upon which to build data-centric distribute ...

Theory and Practice of Coroutines with Snapshots

Fengyun Liu, Aleksandar Prokopec

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 ...

Passing Messages while Sharing Memory

Rachid Guerraoui

We introduce a new distributed computing model called m&m that allows processes to both pass messages and share memory. Motivated by recent hardware trends, we find that this model improves the power of the pure message-passing and shared-memory models. As ...

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

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 ...

Isolates, channels, and event streams for composable distributed programming

Martin Odersky, Aleksandar Prokopec

The actor model has been a model of choice for building reliable distributed systems. On one hand, it ensures that message-processing is serialized within each actor, preserving the familiar sequential programming model. On the other hand, programs written ...
