Using Cloud Functions as Accelerator for Elastic Data Analytics

Anastasia Ailamaki, Haoqiong Bian

Cloud function (CF) services, such as AWS Lambda, have been applied as the new computing infrastructure in implementing analytical query engines. For bursty and sparse workloads, CF-based query engine is more elastic than the traditional query engines runn ...

Authenticated private information retrieval

Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs, Kirill Nikitin, Simone Maria Stefano Colombo

This paper introduces protocols for authenticated private information retrieval. These schemes enable a client to fetch a record from a remote database server such that (a) the server does not learn which record the client reads, and (b) the client either ...

Efficient Concurrent Analytical Query Processing using Data and Workload-conscious Sharing

Panagiotis Sioulas

Analytical workloads are evolving as the number of users surges and applications that submit queries in batches become popular. However, traditional analytical databases that optimize-then-execute each query individually struggle to provide timely response ...

Genuinely distributed Byzantine machine learning

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault, Le Nguyen Hoang, Arsany Hany Abdelmessih Guirguis

Machine learning (ML) solutions are nowadays distributed, according to the so-called server/worker architecture. One server holds the model parameters while several workers train the model. Clearly, such architecture is prone to various types of component ...

Columnar Storage Optimization and Caching for Data Lakes

Haoqiong Bian

As a unified data repository, data lake plays a vital role in enterprise data management and analysis. It composes the raw files into tables that are processed in-situ by various computation engines and applications. Therefore, the read performance of the ...

Graph integration of structured, semistructured and unstructured data for data journalism

Angelos Christos Anadiotis

Digital data is a gold mine for modern journalism. However, datasets which interest journalists are extremely heterogeneous, ranging from highly structured (relational databases), semi-structured (JSON, XML, HTML), graphs (e.g., RDF), and text. Journalists ...

Imputation of missing information in worldwide patent data

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

We present a general method for imputing missing information in the Worldwide Patent Statistical Database (PATSTAT) and make the resulting datasets publicly available. The PATSTAT database is the de facto standard for academic research using patent data. C ...

Edit Based Grading of SQL Queries

Bikash Chandra

Grading student SQL queries manually is a tedious and error-prone process. Earlier work on testing correctness of student SQL queries, such as the XData system, can be used to test the correctness of a student query. However, in case a student query is fou ...

LENA: Communication-Efficient Distributed Learning with Self-Triggered Gradient Uploads

Martin Jaggi, Sebastian Urban Stich

In distributed optimization, parameter updates from the gradient computing node devices have to be aggregated in every iteration on the orchestrating server. When these updates are sent over an arbitrary commodity network, bandwidth and latency can be limi ...

Adaptive partitioning and indexing for in situ query processing

Anastasia Ailamaki, Ioannis Alagiannis, Manolis Karpathiotakis, Manoussos Gavriil Athanassoulis, Matthaios Alexandros Olma

The constant flux of data and queries alike has been pushing the boundaries of data analysis systems. The increasing size of raw data files has made data loading an expensive operation that delays the data-to-insight time. To alleviate the loading cost, in ...

Micro-architectural Analysis of OLAP: Limitations and Opportunities

Anastasia Ailamaki, Utku Sirin

Understanding micro-architectural behavior is important for efficiently using hardware resources. Recent work has shown that in-memory online transaction processing (OLTP) systems severely underutilize their core micro-architecture resources [29]. Whereas, ...

Pythia: Remote Oracles for the Masses

Mathias Josef Payer

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is a technology that allows direct access from the network to a machine's main memory without involving its CPU. RDMA offers low-latency, high-bandwidth performance and low CPU utilization. While RDMA provides massive per ...

AGGREGATHOR: Byzantine Machine Learning via Robust Gradient Aggregation

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault, Arsany Hany Abdelmessih Guirguis, Georgios Damaskinos

We present AGGREGATHOR, a framework that implements state-of-the-art robust (Byzantine-resilient) distributed stochastic gradient descent. Following the standard parameter server model, we assume that a minority of worker machines can be controlled by an a ...

Caching and Distributed Storage : Models, Limits and Designs

Saeid Sahraei

A simple task of storing a database or transferring it to a different point via a communication channel turns far more complex as the size of the database grows large. Limited bandwidth available for transmission plays a central role in this predicament. I ...

Interleaving with Coroutines: A Practical Approach for Robust Index Joins

Anastasia Ailamaki, Georgios Psaropoulos

Index join performance is determined by the efficiency of the lookup operation on the involved index. Although database indexes are highly optimized to leverage processor caches, main memory accesses inevitably increase lookup runtime when the index outsiz ...
