Decomposing Broadcast Algorithms Using Abstract MAC Layers
(2011-02-23)
In much of the theoretical literature on global broadcast algorithms for wireless networks, issues of message dissemination are considered together with issues of contention management. This combination leads to complicated ...
BOOM: Broadcast Optimizations for On-chip Meshes
(2011-03-14)
Future many-core chips will require an on-chip network that can support broadcasts and multicasts at good power-performance. A vanilla on-chip network would send multiple unicast packets for each broadcast packet, resulting ...
Fleets: Scalable Services in a Factored Operating System
(2011-03-09)
Current monolithic operating systems are designed for uniprocessor systems, and their architecture reflects this. The rise of multicore and cloud computing is drastically changing the tradeoffs in operating system design. ...
Remote Oblivious Storage: Making Oblivious RAM Practical
(2011-03-30)
Remote storage of data has become an increasingly attractive and advantageous option, especially due to cloud systems. While encryption protects the data, it does not hide the access pattern to the data. A natural solution ...
SEEC: A Framework for Self-aware Management of Multicore Resources
(2011-03-24)
This paper presents SEEC, a self-aware programming model, designed to reduce programming effort in modern multicore systems. In the SEEC model, application programmers specify application goals and progress, while systems ...
Intel Concurrent Collections for Haskell
(2011-03-22)
Intel Concurrent Collections (CnC) is a parallel programming model in which a network of steps (functions) communicate through message-passing as well as a limited form of shared memory. This paper describes a new ...
Multicore Performance Optimization Using Partner Cores
(2011-03-25)
As the push for parallelism continues to increase the number of cores on a chip, and add to the complexity of system design, the task of optimizing performance at the application level becomes nearly impossible for the ...
A Comparison of Autonomic Decision Making Techniques
(2011-04-01)
Autonomic computing systems are capable of adapting their behavior and resources thousands of times a second to automatically decide the best way to accomplish a given goal despite changing environmental conditions and ...
Werner Reichardt: the man and his scientific legacy
(2011-03-04)
Excerpts from a talk given by Tomaso Poggio in Tübingen on the opening ofthe Werner Reichardt Centrun für Integrative Neurowissenschaften, December 8, 2008.
Epistemic Implementation and The Arbitrary-Belief Auction
(2012-06-22)
In settings of incomplete information we put forward an epistemic framework for designing mechanisms that successfully leverage the players' arbitrary higher-order beliefs, even when such beliefs are totally wrong, and ...
