Flowtune: Flowlet Control for Datacenter Networks
(2016-08-15)
Rapid convergence to a desired allocation of network resources to endpoint traffic has been a long-standing challenge for packet-switched networks. The reason for this is that congestion control decisions are distributed ...
Does invariant recognition predict tuning of neurons in sensory cortex?
(2013-08-06)
Tuning properties of simple cells in cortical V1 can be described in terms of a "universal shape" characterized by parameter values which hold across different species. This puzzling set of findings begs for a general ...
Comprehensive Java Metadata Tracking for Attack Detection and Repair
(2019-11-19)
We present ClearTrack, a system that tracks 32 bits of metadata for each primitive value in Java programs to detect and nullify a range of vulnerabilities such as integer overflow and underflow vulnerabilities, SQL injection ...
Cryptographic Treatment of CryptDB's Adjustable Join
(2012-03-25)
In this document, we provide a cryptographic treatment of the adjustable join protocol from CryptDB. We also discuss how our scheme could be used outside of CryptDB because it provides a simple functionality that may be ...
A Social-Welfare Optimal Probabilistic Mechanism for Knightian Single-Good Auctions
(2012-09-07)
We provide an optimal probabilistic mechanism for maximizing social welfare in single-good auctions when each player does not know his true valuation for the good, but only a set of valuations that is guaranteed to include ...
Sloth: Being Lazy is a Virtue (When Issuing Database Queries)
(2014-04-14)
Many web applications store persistent data in databases. During execution, such applications spend a significant amount of time communicating with the database for retrieval and storing of persistent data over the network. ...
Robust Tracking for Real-Time Dense RGB-D Mapping with Kintinuous
(2012-09-17)
This paper describes extensions to the Kintinuous algorithm for spatially extended KinectFusion, incorporating the following additions: (i) the integration of multiple 6DOF camera odometry estimation methods for robust ...
5D Covariance Tracing for Efficient Defocus and Motion Blur
(2012-11-16)
The rendering of effects such as motion blur and depth-of-field requires costly 5D integrals. We dramatically accelerate their computation through adaptive sampling and reconstruction based on the prediction of the anisotropy ...
Scalable directoryless shared memory coherence using execution migration
(2010-11-22)
We introduce the concept of deadlock-free migration-based coherent shared memory to the NUCA family of architectures. Migration-based architectures move threads among cores to guarantee sequential semantics in large ...
A Case for Fine-Grain Adaptive Cache Coherence
(2012-05-22)
As transistor density continues to grow geometrically, processor manufacturers are already able to place a hundred cores on a chip (e.g., Tilera TILE-Gx 100), with massive multicore chips on the horizon. Programmers now ...
