A Unified Operating System for Clouds and Manycore: fos
(2009-11-20)
Single chip processors with thousands of cores will be available in the next ten years and clouds of multicore processors afford the operating system designer thousands of cores today. Constructing operating systems for ...
Distributed Computation in Dynamic Networks
(2009-11-10)
In this report we investigate distributed computation in dynamic networks in which the network topology changes from round to round. We consider a worst-case model in which the communication links for each round are chosen ...
Smartlocks: Self-Aware Synchronization through Lock Acquisition Scheduling
(2009-11-09)
As multicore processors become increasingly prevalent, system complexity is skyrocketing. The advent of the asymmetric multicore compounds this -- it is no longer practical for an average programmer to balance the system ...
Automated home-cage behavioral phenotyping of mice
(2009-10-26)
We describe a trainable computer vision system enabling the automated analysis of complex mouse behaviors. We provide software and a very large manually annotated video database used for training and testing the system. ...
Graphite: A Distributed Parallel Simulator for Multicores
(2009-11-09)
This paper introduces the open-source Graphite distributed parallel multicore simulator infrastructure. Graphite is designed from the ground up for exploration of future multicore processors containing dozens, hundreds, ...
Rational Robustness for Mechanism Design
(2009-11-10)
The currently prevailing equilibrium-based approach to mechanism design suffers from a plurality of fundamental problems, and new conceptual frameworks are needed to solve or sufficiently alleviate them. In this paper, we ...

Co-Clustering with Generative Models
(2009-11-03)
In this paper, we present a generative model for co-clustering and develop algorithms based on the mean field approximation for the corresponding modeling problem. These algorithms can be viewed as generalizations of the ...
