In the Contention Resolution problem $n$ parties each wish to have exclusive use of a shared resource for one unit of time. The problem has been studied since the early 1970s, under a variety of assumptions on feedback given to the parties,…

In this work we propose an efficient parallelization of multiple-precision Taylor series method with variable stepsize and fixed order. For given level of accuracy the optimal variable stepsize determines higher order of the method than in…

We propose a simple distributed hash table called ReCord, which is a generalized version of Randomized-Chord and offers improved tradeoffs in performance and topology maintenance over existing P2P systems. ReCord is scalable and can be…

Processing-in-memory (PIM) architectures have seen an increase in popularity recently, as the high internal bandwidth available within 3D-stacked memory provides greater incentive to move some computation into the logic layer of the memory.…

Causal consistency is an attractive consistency model for replicated data stores. It is provably the strongest model that tolerates partitions, it avoids the long latencies associated with strong consistency, and, especially when using…

Reasoning about concurrent programs executed on weak memory models is an inherently complex task. So far, existing proof calculi for weak memory models only cover safety properties. In this paper, we provide the first proof calculus for…

This paper focuses on data structures for multi-core reachability, which is a key component in model checking algorithms and other verification methods. A cornerstone of an efficient solution is the storage of visited states. In related…

Network caching asks how to place contents in distributed caches so that future requests are served close to their users. Ganian, Mc Inerney and Tsigkari recently initiated the parameterized-complexity study of the problem and, for the…

Persistent memory provides high-performance data persistence at main memory. Memory writes need to be performed in strict order to satisfy storage consistency requirements and enable correct recovery from system crashes. Unfortunately,…

With the advent of hundreds of cores on a chip to accelerate applications, the operating system (OS) needs to exploit the existing parallelism provided by the underlying hardware resources to determine the right amount of processes to be…

Besides respecting prescribed protocols, communication-centric systems should never "get stuck". This requirement has been expressed by liveness properties such as progress or (dead)lock freedom. Several typing disciplines that ensure these…

The memory model of a shared-memory multiprocessor is a contract between the designer and programmer of the multiprocessor. The sequential consistency memory model specifies a total order among the memory (read and write) events performed…

NoSQL databases are widely used in modern applications due to their scalability and schema flexibility, yet they often rely on eventual consistency models that limit reliable transaction processing. This study proposes a four-stage…

A standard design pattern found in many concurrent data structures, such as hash tables or ordered containers, is alternation of parallelizable sections that incur no data conflicts and critical sections that must run sequentially and are…

Traditional approaches to replication require client requests to be ordered before making them durable by copying them to replicas. As a result, clients must wait for two round-trip times (RTTs) before updates complete. In this paper, we…

We present a fully lock-free variant of the recent Montage system for persistent data structures. Our variant, nbMontage, adds persistence to almost any nonblocking concurrent structure without introducing significant overhead or blocking…

A novel parallel patterns library, Groovy Parallel Patterns, is presented which, from the outset, has been designed to exploit more general process parallelism than the usual data and task parallel architectures. The library executes on a…

We tackle the problem of statically ensuring that message-passing programs never run into deadlocks. We focus on concurrent functional programs governed by context-free session types, which can express rich tree-like structures not…

The lock-free, ordered, linked list is an important, standard example of a concurrent data structure. An obvious, practical drawback of textbook implementations is that failed compare-and-swap (CAS) operations lead to retraversal of the…

In general when considering cache coherence, write back schemes are the default. These schemes invalidate all other copies of a data block during a write. In this paper we propose several hybrid schemes that will switch between updating and…
