In recent years, many applications have started using serverless computing platforms
primarily due to the ease of deployment and cost efficiency they offer. However, the existing …

We present a new lock-free algorithm for concurrent manipulation of a binary search tree in
an asynchronous shared memory system that supports search, insert and delete operations …

We describe an imaging architecture for compressive video sensing termed programmable
pixel compressive camera (P2C2). P2C2 allows us to capture fast phenomena at frame rates …

This monograph grows out of nearly 40 years of experience in synchronization and
concurrent data structures. Though written primarily from the perspective of systems …

Transactional memory (TM) is an appealing paradigm for concurrent programming on
shared memory architectures. With a TM, threads of an application communicate, and …

High-performance transaction processing needs to schedule numerous requests from the
network. However, such request scheduling comes with costs of complex information …

Optimistic concurrency control, or OCC, can achieve excellent performance on uncontended
workloads for main-memory transactional databases. Contention causes OCC's …

Over the last years Transactional Memory (TM) gained growing popularity as a simpler,
attractive alternative to classic lock-based synchronization schemes. Recently, the TM …

Distributed transactions suffer from poor performance due to two major limiting factors. First,
distributed transactions suffer from high latency because each of their accesses to remote …
