Hosting over 10 million of software projects, GitHub is one of the most important data sources to study behavior of developers and software projects. However, with the increase of the size of open source datasets, the potential threats to…

Building and deploying software on high-end computing systems is a challenging task. High performance applications have to reliably run across multiple platforms and environments, and make use of site-specific resources while resolving…

At the scale of Uber's monorepos, traditional Git workflows become a fundamental bottleneck. Cloning multi-gigabyte repositories, maintaining local checkouts, periodically syncing from upstream, and executing repetitive fetch or push…

A Kubernetes cluster typically consists of trusted nodes, running within the confines of a physically secure datacenter. With recent advances in edge orchestration, this is no longer the case. This poses a new challenge: how can we trust a…

Kubernetes, an open-source platform for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, is widely used for its efficiency and scalability. However, its complexity and extensive configuration options often…

A pronounced imbalance in GPU resources exists on campus, where some laboratories own underutilized servers while others lack the compute needed for AI research. GPU sharing can alleviate this disparity, while existing platforms typically…

The National Research Platform (NRP) represents a distributed, multi-tenant Kubernetes-based cyberinfrastructure designed to facilitate collaborative scientific computing. Spanning over 75 locations in the U.S. and internationally, the NRP…

As the need for computational power and efficiency rises, parallel systems become increasingly popular among various scientific fields. While multiple core-based architectures have been the center of attention for many years, the rapid…

New ideas in distributed systems (algorithms or protocols) are commonly tested by simulation, because experimenting with a prototype deployed on a realistic platform is cumbersome. However, a prototype not only measures performance but also…

GitHub Copilot, an extension for the Visual Studio Code development environment powered by the large-scale language model Codex, makes automatic program synthesis available for software developers. This model has been extensively studied in…

This paper introduces a lightweight and auditable method for asynchronous information exchange between distributed entities using Git as the coordination medium. The proposed approach replaces traditional APIs and message brokers with a…

There is growing interest in accelerating irregular data-parallel algorithms on GPUs. These algorithms are typically blocking, so they require fair scheduling. But GPU programming models (e.g.\ OpenCL) do not mandate fair scheduling, and…

Container technologies, like Docker, are becoming increasingly popular. Containers provide exceptional developer experience because containers offer lightweight isolation and ease of software distribution. Containers are also widely used in…

The demand for quick and reliable DevOps operations pushed distributors of repository platforms to implement workflows. Workflows allow automating code management operations directly on the repository hosting the software. However, this…

We define some of the programming and system-level challenges facing the application of quantum processing to high-performance computing. Alongside barriers to physical integration, prominent differences in the execution of quantum and…

Automated tools are frequently used in social coding repositories to perform repetitive activities that are part of the distributed software development process. Recently, GitHub introduced GitHub Actions, a feature providing automated…

Social coding platforms such as GitHub have become defacto environments for collaborative programming and open source. When these platforms do not support specific cognitive styles, they create barriers to programming for some populations.…

Enterprises and labs performing computationally expensive data science applications sooner or later face the problem of scale but unconnected infrastructure. For this up-scaling process, an IT service provider can be hired or in-house…

GitHub is the most widely used social, distributed version control system. It has around 10 million registered users and hosts over 16 million public repositories. Its user base is also very active as GitHub ranks in the top 100 Alexa most…

GitHub is a popular data repository for code examples. It is being continuously used to train several AI-based tools to automatically generate code. However, the effectiveness of such tools in correctly demonstrating the usage of…
