We present "Reciprocating Locks", a novel mutual exclusion locking algorithm, targeting cache-coherent shared memory (CC), that enjoys a number of desirable properties. The doorway arrival phase and the release operation both run in…
Finding the Lie-algebraic closure of a handful of matrices has important applications in quantum computing and quantum control. For most realistic cases, the closure cannot be determined analytically, necessitating an explicit numerical…
We examine deterministic broadcasting on multiple-access channels for a scenario when packets are injected continuously by an adversary to the buffers of the devices at rate $\rho$ packages per round. The aim is to maintain system…
Switches today provide a small set of scheduling algorithms. While we can tweak scheduling parameters, we cannot modify algorithmic logic, or add a completely new algorithm, after the switch has been designed. This paper presents a design…
We present a multi-word atomic (1,N) register for multi-core machines exploiting Read-Modify-Write (RMW) instructions to coordinate the writer and the readers in a wait-free manner. Our proposal, called Anonymous Readers Counting (ARC),…
We present a randomized approach for wait-free locks with strong bounds on time and fairness in a context in which any process can be arbitrarily delayed. Our approach supports a tryLock operation that is given a set of locks, and code to…
We study the traffic dynamics in complex networks where each link is assigned a limited and identical bandwidth. Although the first-in-first-out (FIFO) queuing rule is widely applied in the routing protocol of information packets, here we…
We consider a real-time streaming source coding system in which an encoder observes a sequence of randomly arriving symbols from an i.i.d. source, and feeds binary codewords to a FIFO buffer that outputs one bit per time unit to a decoder.…
In this paper, we study the program-point reachability problem of concurrent pushdown systems that communicate via unbounded and unordered message buffers. Our goal is to relax the common restriction that messages can only be retrieved by a…
In Real-time system, utilization based schedulability test is a common approach to determine whether or not tasks can be admitted without violating deadline requirements. The exact problem has previously been proven intractable even upon…
Most algorithms designed for shared-memory distributed systems assume the single-writer multi-reader (SWMR) setting where each process is provided with a unique register readable by all. In a system where computation is performed by a…
In this paper, we study the stability of queues with impatient customers. Under general stationary ergodic assumptions, we first provide some conditions for such a queue to be regenerative (i.e. to empty a.s. an infinite number of times).…
Simulating a shared register can mask the intricacies of designing algorithms for asynchronous message-passing systems subject to crash failures, since it allows them to run algorithms designed for the simpler shared-memory model. Typically…
Providing efficient emulations of atomic read/write objects in asynchronous, crash-prone, message-passing systems is an important problem in distributed computing. Communication latency is a factor that typically dominates the performance…
We consider scheduling packets with values in a capacity-bounded buffer in an online setting. In this model, there is a buffer with limited capacity $B$. At any time, the buffer cannot accommodate more than $B$ packets. Packets arrive over…
Integer forcing is an alternative approach to conventional linear receivers for multiple-antenna systems. In an integer-forcing receiver, integer linear combinations of messages are extracted from the received matrix before each individual…
It is interesting and challenging to study double-ended queues with First-Come-First-Match discipline under customers' impatient behavior and non-Poisson inputs. The system stability can be guaranteed by the customers' impatient behavior,…
We prove that in asynchronous message-passing systems where at most one process may crash, there is no lock-free strongly linearizable implementation of a weak object that we call Test-or-Set (ToS). This object allows a single distinguished…
Operating on the principles of quantum mechanics, quantum algorithms hold the promise for solving problems that are beyond the reach of the best-available classical algorithms. An integral part of realizing such speedup is the…
The viability of an Augmentative and Alternative Communication device often depends on its ability to adapt to an individual user's unique abilities. Though human input can be noisy, there is often structure to our errors. For example,…
