Infochain: A Decentralized, Trustless and Transparent Oracle on Blockchain

Boi Faltings, Naman Goel, Aris Filos Ratsikas

Blockchain based systems allow various kinds of financial transactions to be executed in a decentralized manner. However, these systems often rely on a trusted third party (oracle) to get correct information about the real-world events, which trigger the f ...

On Succinct Non-interactive Arguments in Relativized Worlds

Alessandro Chiesa

Succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge (SNARKs) are cryptographic proofs with strong efficiency properties. Applications of SNARKs often involve proving computations that include the SNARK verifier, a technique called recursive composition. Unfort ...

Micro-architectural analysis of in-memory OLTP: Revisited

Anastasia Ailamaki, Danica Porobic, Utku Sirin

Micro-architectural behavior of traditional disk-based online transaction processing (OLTP) systems has been investigated extensively over the past couple of decades. Results show that traditional OLTP systems mostly under-utilize the available micro-archi ...

Hailstorm: Disaggregated Compute and Storage for Distributed LSM-based Databases

Willy Zwaenepoel, Laurent Bindschaedler

Distributed LSM-based databases face throughput and latency issues due to load imbalance across instances and interference from background tasks such as flushing, compaction, and data migration. Hailstorm addresses these problems by deploying the database ...

Timely and cost-efficient data exploration through adaptive tuning

Matthaios Alexandros Olma

Modern applications accumulate data at an exponentially increasing rate and traditional database systems struggle to keep up. Decision support systems used in industry, rely heavily on data analysis, and require real-time responses irrespective of data siz ...

PaRiS: Causally Consistent Transactions with Non-blocking Reads and Partial Replication

Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona, Kristina Spirovska

Geo-replicated data platforms are at the backbone of several large-scale online services. Transactional Causal Consistency (TCC) is an attractive consistency level for building such platforms. TCC avoids many anomalies of eventual consistency, eschews the ...

Stiffness, force and drift capacity of in-plane loaded modern unreinforced brick masonry walls

Bastian Valentin Wilding

In countries of low to moderate seismicity, such as Switzerland, unreinforced masonry (URM) is mainly used in residential buildings due to its good insulation capacity and fire resistance along with a fair compressive strength. URM walls however show a lim ...

Rack-Scale Memory Pooling for Datacenters

Stanko Novakovic

The rise of web-scale services has led to a staggering growth in user data on the Internet. To transform such a vast raw data into valuable information for the user and provide quality assurances, it is important to minimize access latency and enable in-me ...

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 ...

Maximizing k-Submodular Functions and Beyond

Justin Dean Ward

We consider the maximization problem in the value oracle model of functions defined on k-tuples of sets that are submodular in every orthant and r-wise monotone, where k >= 2 and 1
