When designing concurrent algorithms, Load-Link/Store-Conditional (LL/SC) is often the ideal primitive to have because unlike Compare and Swap (CAS), LL/SC is immune to the ABA problem. However, the full semantics of LL/SC are not supported…

MCAS (Memory Centric Active Storage) is a persistent memory tier for high-performance durable data storage. It is designed from the ground-up to provide a key-value capability with low-latency guarantees and data durability through memory…

Current causally consistent data storage algorithms use partial or full replication to ensure data access to clients over a distributed setting. We develop, for the first time, an erasure coding-based algorithm called CausalEC that ensures…

Persistent memory (PM) is an emerging class of storage technology that combines the benefits of DRAM and SSD. This characteristic inspires research on persistent objects in PM with fine-grained concurrency control. Among such objects,…

We propose a robust index for semi-structured hierarchical data that supports content-and-structure (CAS) queries specified by path and value predicates. At the heart of our approach is a novel dynamic interleaving scheme that merges the…

The emergence of systems with non-volatile main memory (NVM) increases the interest in the design of \emph{recoverable concurrent objects} that are robust to crash-failures, since their operations are able to recover from such failures by…

We study the problem of constructing concurrent objects in a setting where $P$ processes run in parallel and interact through a shared memory that is subject to write contention. Our goal is to transform hardware primitives that are subject…

We investigate the time and space complexity of detecting and preventing ABAs in shared memory algorithms for systems with n processes and bounded base objects. To that end, we define ABA-detecting registers, which are similar to normal…

Frequent queries on semi-structured hierarchical data are Content-and-Structure (CAS) queries that filter data items based on their location in the hierarchical structure and their value for some attribute. We propose the Robust and…

Atomic lock-free multi-word compare-and-swap (MCAS) is a powerful tool for designing concurrent algorithms. Yet, its widespread usage has been limited because lock-free implementations of MCAS make heavy use of expensive compare-and-swap…

This paper introduces OPTIMUM-DERAM, a highly consistent, scalable, secure, and decentralized shared memory solution. Traditional distributed shared memory implementations offer multi-object support by multi-threading a single object memory…

We introduce GCAS, a natural generalization of the well-known compare-and-swap (CAS) object. Intuitively, GCAS just replaces the fixed equality test of CAS with a parametrized comparator chosen from $\{<, =, >\}$. To showcase the utility of…

Distributed systems often serve dynamic workloads and resource demands evolve over time. Such a temporal behavior stands in contrast to the static and demand-oblivious nature of most data structures used by these systems. In this paper, we…

In the last decade, academic and industrial researchers have focused on persistent memory because of the development of the first practical product, Intel Optane. One of the main challenges of persistent memory programming is to guarantee…

Suppose we want to seek the longest common subsequences (LCSs) of two strings as informative patterns that explain the relationship between the strings. The dynamic programming algorithm gives us a table from which all LCSs can be extracted…

The recent availability of fast, dense, byte-addressable non-volatile memory has led to increasing interest in the problem of designing and specifying durable data structures that can recover from system crashes. However, designing durable…

Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) is a novel type of hardware that combines the benefits of traditional persistent memory (persistency of data over hardware failures) and DRAM (fast random access). In this work, we describe an…

This paper presents L-UC, a universal construction that efficiently implements dynamic objects of large state in a wait-free manner. The step complexity of L-UC is O(n+kw), where n is the number of processes, k is the interval contention…

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,…

A longest common extension (LCE) query on a string computes the length of the longest common suffix or prefix at two given positions. A dynamic LCE algorithm maintains a data structure that allows efficient LCE queries on a string that can…
