An end-to-end pipeline for historical censuses processing

Rémi Guillaume Petitpierre, Lucas Arnaud André Rappo, Marion Kramer

Censuses are structured documents of great value for social and demographic history, which became widespread from the nineteenth century on. However, the plurality of formats and the natural variability of historical data make their extraction arduous and ...

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 ...

Efficient Massively Parallel Join Optimization for Large Queries

Anastasia Ailamaki, Bikash Chandra, Srinivas Karthik Venkatesh

Modern data analytical workloads often need to run queries over a large number of tables. An optimal query plan for such queries is crucial for being able to run these queries within acceptable time bounds. However, with queries involving many tables, find ...

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 ...

Joining of Oxide Dispersion-Strengthened Steel Using Spark Plasma Sintering

Cyril Cayron

Difficulties with joining oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steels using classical welding processes have led to the development of alternative joining techniques such as spark plasma sintering (SPS). SPS, which is classically employed for performing sin ...

Time- and Space-Efficient Spatial Data Analytics

Mirjana Pavlovic

Advances in data acquisition technologies and supercomputing for large-scale simulations have led to an exponential growth in the volume of spatial data. This growth is accompanied by an increase in data complexity, such as spatial density, but also by mor ...

Bridging the Latency Gap between NVM and DRAM for Latency-bound Operations

Anastasia Ailamaki, Georgios Psaropoulos

Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technologies exhibit 4× the read access latency of conventional DRAM. When the working set does not fit in the processor cache, this latency gap between DRAM and NVM leads to more than 2× runtime increase for queries dominated by ...

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 ...

Hardware-conscious Hash-Joins on GPUs

Anastasia Ailamaki, Raja Appuswamy, Manolis Karpathiotakis, Periklis Chrysogelos, Panagiotis Sioulas

Traditionally, analytical database engines have used task parallelism provided by modern multisocket multicore CPUs for scaling query execution. Over the past few years, GPUs have started gaining traction as accelerators for processing analytical queries d ...

Proximity Operators of Discrete Information Divergences

Mireille El Gheche

While phi-divergences have been extensively studied in convex analysis, their use in optimization problems often remains challenging. In this regard, one of the main shortcomings of existing methods is that the minimization of phi-divergences is usually pe ...

Interleaving with coroutines: a systematic and practical approach to hide memory latency in index joins

Anastasia Ailamaki, Georgios Psaropoulos

Index joins present a case of pointer-chasing code that causes data cache misses. In principle, we can hide these cache misses by overlapping them with computation: The lookups involved in an index join are parallel tasks whose execution can be interleaved ...

A Framework Based on Predictive Maintenance, Zero-Defect Manufacturing and Scheduling Under Uncertainty Tools, to Optimize Production Capacities of High-End Quality Products

Dimitrios Kyritsis

Nowadays exploiting the full potential of the humongous amount of data that manufactures can produce with their production means is a real challenge. Moreover, increasing production capabilities without large investments is a recurring objective for them. ...

Two degree of freedom mechanical oscillator

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan

Mechanical oscillator (10) comprising an inertial body (101) joined to a support (100) by means of an elastic system (102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107) arranged to provide the inertial body (101) with substantially no degrees of freedom in translation and with ...

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 ...

Compilation Techniques for Incremental Collection Processing

Daniel Lupei

Many map-reduce frameworks as well as NoSQL systems rely on collection programming as their interface of choice due to its rich semantics along with an easily parallelizable set of primitives. Unfortunately, the potential of collection programming is not ...
