This is the fourth of five papers comprising The Semantic Arrow of Time. Parts I-III established that computing's hidden arrow of time is semantic rather than thermodynamic, that bilateral transaction protocols create causal order through a…

For fifty years, networking has fragmented whenever new workloads exposed hidden assumptions about time, ordering, failure, and trust. This paper argues that the current interconnect landscape -- NVLink, UALink, Ultra Ethernet,…

This is the final paper in the five-part series The Semantic Arrow of Time. Part I identified the FITO category mistake -- treating forward temporal flow as sufficient for establishing meaning. Part II presented the constructive…

Remote direct memory access (RDMA) allows a machine to directly read from and write to the memory of remote machine, enabling high-throughput, low-latency data transfer. Ensuring correctness of RDMA programs has only recently become…

Remote memory access (RMA) is an emerging high-performance programming model that uses RDMA hardware directly. Yet, accessing remote memories cannot invoke activities at the target which complicates implementation and limits performance of…

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,…

RDMA is vital for efficient distributed training across datacenters, but millisecond-scale latencies complicate the design of its reliability layer. We show that depending on long-haul link characteristics, such as drop rate, distance and…

Federated learning aims to construct a global model that fits the dataset distributed across local devices without direct access to private data, leveraging communication between a server and the local devices. In the context of a practical…

We consider an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided mobile edge computing (MEC) system, where an IRS is deployed to assist computation offloading from two users to an access point connected with an edge cloud. For the IRS-aided data…

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems often rely on static retrieval, limiting adaptation to evolving intent and content drift. We introduce Dynamic Memory Alignment (DMA), an online learning framework that systematically…

The rapid integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into educational assessment rests on the unverified assumption that instruction following capability translates directly to objective adjudication. We demonstrate that this assumption is…

Synchronous Mirroring (SM) is a standard approach to building highly-available and fault-tolerant enterprise storage systems. SM ensures strong data consistency by maintaining multiple exact data replicas and synchronously propagating every…

Under gang scheduling for large-scale distributed large language model (LLM) training, a single network anomaly can stall or abort an entire job. Current network fault tolerance mechanisms typically adopt a ``fallback and bypass'' approach…

In order to deliver high performance in cloud computing, we generally exploit and leverage RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) in networking and NVM (Non-Volatile Memory) in end systems. Due to no involvement of CPU, one-sided RDMA becomes…

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is a memory technology that allows remote devices to directly write to and read from each other's memory, bypassing components such as the CPU and operating system. This enables low-latency high-throughput…

Autonomous indoor mobile robots can navigate reliably to metric coordinates using established frameworks such as ROS 2 Navigation 2, yet they lack the ability to interpret natural language instructions that express intent rather than…

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is an efficient way to improve the performance of traditional client-server systems. Currently, there are two main design paradigms for RDMA-accelerated systems. The first allows the clients to directly…

This retrospective paper describes the RowHammer problem in Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), which was initially introduced by Kim et al. at the ISCA 2014 conference~\cite{rowhammer-isca2014}. RowHammer is a prime (and perhaps the…

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a critical paradigm for LLM post-training, yet the rollout phase -- accounting for 50--80% of total step time -- is bottlenecked by skewed generation: long-tailed trajectories indispensable for model…

Context. Metamorphic Testing addresses the test-oracle problem in scientific computing, but classical Mutation Score operates on syntactic AST mutations and misses domain semantics. Objective. We propose the Semantic Mutation Score (SMS),…
