Storing data in the cloud poses a number of privacy issues. A way to handle them is supporting data replication and distribution on the cloud via a local, centrally synchronized storage. In this paper we propose to use an in-memory RDBMS…

Near-data accelerators (NDAs) that are integrated with main memory have the potential for significant power and performance benefits. Fully realizing these benefits requires the large available memory capacity to be shared between the host…

There are significant benefits to serve deep learning models from relational databases. First, features extracted from databases do not need to be transferred to any decoupled deep learning systems for inferences, and thus the system…

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is a technology that allows direct memory access from the memory of one computer into that of another without involving either one's operating system. This enables high-throughput, low-latency networking,…

Multi-core architectures feature an intricate hierarchy of cache memories, with multiple levels and sizes. To adequately decompose an application according to the traits of a particular memory hierarchy is a cumbersome task that may be…

Storing tabular data to balance storage and query efficiency is a long-standing research question in the database community. In this work, we argue and show that a novel DeepMapping abstraction, which relies on the impressive memorization…

Current systems used by medical institutions for the management and transfer of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) can be vulnerable to security and privacy threats. In addition, these centralized systems often lack interoperability and give…

In this paper, we introduce DistDD, a novel approach within the federated learning framework that reduces the need for repetitive communication by distilling data directly on clients' devices. Unlike traditional federated learning that…

The rapid adoption of AI and convenience offered by cloud services have resulted in the growing demands for GPUs in the cloud. Generally, GPUs are physically attached to host servers as PCIe devices. However, the fixed assembly combination…

Among parallel decoding paradigms, diffusion large language models (dLLMs) have emerged as a promising candidate that balances generation quality and throughput. However, their integration with Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures is…

Byte-addressable persistent memory (B-APM) presents a new opportunity to bridge the performance gap between main memory and storage. In this paper, we present the usage scenarios for this new technology, based on the capabilities of Intel's…

Latency to end-users and regulatory requirements push large companies to build data centers all around the world. The resulting data is "born" geographically distributed. On the other hand, many machine learning applications require a…

Efficient vector search is essential for powering large-scale AI applications, such as LLMs. Existing solutions are designed for monolithic architectures where compute and memory are tightly coupled. Recently, disaggregated architecture…

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a key player in low latency 5G networks with the task to resolve the conflict between computationally-intensive mobile applications and resource-limited mobile devices (MDs). As such, there has been intense…

Data mining algorithms are originally designed by assuming the data is available at one centralized site.These algorithms also assume that the whole data is fit into main memory while running the algorithm. But in today's scenario the data…

Sorting is a fundamental and well studied problem that has been studied extensively. Sorting plays an important role in the area of databases, as many queries can be served much faster if the relations are first sorted. One of the most…

Paper presents and evaluates various mechanisms for remote access to memory in distributed systems based on two distinct HPC clusters. We are comparing solutions based on the shared storage and MPI (over Infiniband and Slingshot) to the…

A traditional database systems is organized around a single data model that determines how data can be organized, stored and manipulated. But the vision of this paper is to develop new principles and techniques to manage multiple data…

We demonstrate that general-purpose memory allocation involving many threads on many cores can be done with high performance, multicore scalability, and low memory consumption. For this purpose, we have designed and implemented scalloc, a…

This paper was prompted by numerical experiments we performed, in which algorithms already available in the literature (DVS-BDDM) yielded accelerations (or speedups) many times larger (more than seventy in some examples already treated, but…
