The recently proposed dataplanes for microsecond scale applications, such as IX and
ZygOS, use non-preemptive policies to schedule requests to cores. For the many real-world …

Most recent HPC platforms have heterogeneous nodes composed of multi-core CPUs and
accelerators, like GPUs. Programming such nodes is typically based on a combination of …

In this paper, we present the Habanero-Java (HJ) language developed at Rice University as
an extension to the original Java-based definition of the X10 language. HJ includes a …

Load balancing techniques (eg work stealing) are important to obtain the best performance
for distributed task scheduling systems that have multiple schedulers making scheduling …

This paper presents Personal Data Lake, a unified storage facility for storing, analyzing and
querying personal data. A data lake stores data regardless of format and thus provides an …

Java programmers are faced with numerous choices in managing concurrent execution on
multicore platforms. These choices often have different trade-offs (eg, performance …

Abstract Partitioned Global Address Space languages like UPC offer a convenient way of
expressing large shared data structures, especially for irregular structures that require …

Existing dynamic race detectors suffer from at least one of the following three limitations:(i)
space overhead per memory location grows linearly with the number of parallel threads [13] …

To meet computing needs and overcome power density limitations, the computing industry
has entered the era of parallelization. However, highly parallel, general-purpose computing …

The massive parallelism present in GPUs comes at the cost of reduced L1 and L2 cache
sizes per thread, leading to serious cache contention problems such as thrashing. Hence …
