Request, Coalesce, Serve, and Forget: Miss-Optimized Memory Systems for Bandwidth-Bound Cache-Unfriendly Applications on FPGAs

Paolo Ienne, Mikhail Asiatici

Applications such as large-scale sparse linear algebra and graph analytics are challenging to accelerate on FPGAs due to the short irregular memory accesses, resulting in low cache hit rates. Nonblocking caches reduce the bandwidth required by misses by re ...

Indexing Protected Deep Face Templates by Frequent Binary Patterns

Sébastien Marcel, Hatef Otroshi Shahreza

In this work, we present a simple biometric indexing scheme which is binning and retrieving cancelable deep face templates based on frequent binary patterns. The simplicity of the proposed approach makes it applicable to unprotected as well as protected, i ...

Byzantine Consensus is Θ(n^2): The Dolev-Reischuk Bound is Tight even in Partial Synchrony!

Rachid Guerraoui, Vincent Gramoli, Seth Gilbert, Jovan Komatovic, Manuel José Ribeiro Vidigueira, Pierre Philippe Civit

The Dolev-Reischuk bound says that any deterministic Byzantine consensus protocol has (at least) quadratic communication complexity in the worst case. While it has been shown that the bound is tight in synchronous environments, it is still unknown whether ...

Closing the Performance Gap Between Volatile and Persistent Key-Value Stores Using Cross-Referencing Logs

Matej Pavlovic

Key-Value (K-V) stores are an integral building block in modern datacenter applications. With byteaddressable persistent memory (PM) technologies, such as Intel/Micron's 3D XPoint, on the horizon, there has been an influx of new high performance K-V stores ...

Log-Free Concurrent Data Structures

Rachid Guerraoui, Aleksandar Dragojevic, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Tudor Alexandru David

Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) makes it possible for data structures to tolerate transient failures, assuming however that programmers have designed these structures such that their consistency is preserved upon recovery. Previous ap- proaches are typically tran ...

Asynchronous memory access chaining

Babak Falsafi, Boris Robert Grot, Yusuf Onur Koçberber

In-memory databases rely on pointer-intensive data structures to quickly locate data in memory. A single lookup operation in such data structures often exhibits long-latency memory stalls due to dependent pointer dereferences. Hiding the memory latency by ...
