Database-backed applications are nearly ubiquitous in our daily lives. Applications that
make many small accesses to the database create two challenges for developers: increased …

For mobile devices, it is compelling to run sensitive GPU computation within a TrustZone
trusted execution environment (TEE). To minimize GPU software deployed in TEE, the …

Prefetching is a well-known technique to mitigate scalability challenges in the Partitioned
Global Address Space (PGAS) model. It has been studied as either an automated compiler …

We present a holistic design for GPU-accelerated computation in TrustZone TEE. Without
pulling the complex GPU software stack into the TEE, we follow a simple approach: record …

Applications that combine general program logic with persistent databases (eg, three-tier
applications) often suffer large performance penalties from poor use of the database. We …

A profiler may identify potentially-independent remote data accesses in a program. A remote
data access is independent if value returned from said remote data access is not computed …

Applications that interact with database management systems (DBMSs) are ubiquitous in
our daily lives. Such database applications are usually hosted on an application server and …

Exponential growth in transistor density combined with diminishing returns from
uniprocessor improvements has compelled the industry to transition to multicore …

Numerical optimization has been extensively used in many real-world applications related to
Scientific Computing, Artificial Intelligence and, more recently, Quantum Computing …

Driven by breakthroughs in mobile and IoT devices, on-device computation becomes
promising. Meanwhile, there is a growing concern over its security: it faces many threatsin …
