Delegation Systems for Efficient and Safe Multi-Core Programming

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Highly parallel hardware is common in many contemporary computing platforms, making multi-threaded design key to high application performance. Today, the dominant paradigm for multi-threaded programming is synchronized access to shared memory, or locking for short. In this thesis, we revisit the question of delegation vs. synchronized access to shared memory, and show through analysis and demonstration that delegation can be much faster than locking under a range of common circumstances, even in highly concurrent, uncontended scenarios. Starting from first principles, we propose fast, fly-weight delegation (ffwd). The highly optimized design of ffwd allows it to significantly outperform prior work on delegation, while retaining the scalability advantage. Next, we introduce gepard, that adopts light-weight user threads (fibers), designed for delegation, on both the client and server sides of the delegation system. In addition to improved performance, gepard adds support for common software requirements such as nested delegation and lock acquisition in delegated functions. In our evaluation, we use 7 benchmark applications, and 6 shared data structures, and compare our delegation system to a selection of lock, combining, lock-free, software transactional memory and delegation designs. We port memcached to delegation, and show a 4.3 X improvement over stock memcached on YCSB workloads, and a modest improvement over sharded stock memcached. We also demonstrate multi-redis, a multi-threaded version of redis, which delegates the single-threaded database to one thread. Multi-redis yields 17 X throughput increase vs single-threaded stock redis, on standard workloads, using 32 hardware threads. It also improves modestly on 32-way sharded stock redis. Using gepard, performance is improved up to 4 X with respect to locking methods on splash2.

description: LAM and CEA-LETI are developing the technology of deformable detectors, for UV, VIS or NIR applications. Such breakthrough devices will be a revolution for future wide field imagers and spectrographs, firstly by improving the image quality with better off-axis sharpness, resolution, brightness while scaling down the optical system, secondly by overcoming the manufacturing issues identified so far and by offering a flexibility and versatility in optical design. The technology of curved detectors can benefit of the developments of active and deformable structures, to provide a flexibility and a fine tuning of the detectors curvature by thinning down the substrate without modifying the fabrication process of the active pixels. We present studies done so far on optical design improvements, the technological demonstrators we developed and their performances as well as the future five-years roadmap for these developments.

description: The most commonly used index of stellar magnetic activity is the instrumental flux scale of singly-ionized calcium H & K line core emission, S, developed by the Mount Wilson Observatory (MWO) HK Project, or the derivative index R'_HK. Accurately placing the Sun on the S scale is important for comparing solar activity to that of the Sun-like stars. We present previously unpublished measurements of the reflected sunlight from the Moon using the second-generation MWO HK photometer during solar cycle 23 and determine cycle minimum S_min,23 = 0.1634 +/- 0.0008, amplitude Delta S_23 = 0.0143 +/- 0.0012, and mean = 0.1701 +/- 0.0005. By establishing a proxy relationship with the closely related National Solar Observatory Sacramento Peak calcium K emission index, itself well-correlated with the Kodaikanal Observatory plage index, we extend the MWO S time series to cover cycles 15-24 and find on average = 0.1621 +/- 0.0008, = 0.0145 +/- 0.0012, = 0.1694 +/- 0.0005. Our measurements represent an improvement over previous estimates which relied on stellar measurements or solar proxies with non-overlapping time series. We find good agreement from these results with measurements by the Solar-Stellar Spectrograph at Lowell Observatory, an independently calibrated instrument, which gives us additional confidence that we have accurately placed the Sun on the S-index flux scale.

The Effect of Problem Presentation on Strategy Use and Mental Set in the Water Jar Task
Creators: name: Winter, Erin E. Sovansky
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study explored how prior experience with a task influences both strategy use and the likelihood of experiencing mental set. Previous work found a relationship between strategy use and mental set in which participants who reported using more specific strategies were more likely to experience mental set compared to those who reported using more general strategies. This work suggests that differences in strategy use may account for differences in mental set. This study further tested the hypothesis that strategy use accounts for differences in mental set by manipulating the problems presented in the “set” phase. One manipulation was of the variability of the set problem solutions, in order to guide participants toward different levels of strategy specificity. The other manipulation was of the viability of the set problem solutions, in order to examine whether strategy specificity still predicts mental set when participants can develop strategies with a high level of specificity, but the strategies are not relevant for solving the critical and extinction problems. Strategy use mediated condition level differences in mental set for the solution variability manipulation, but not for the solution viability manipulation. Regardless of manipulation, when solvers use highly specific strategies, it increases their likelihood of experiencing mental set. However, increased variability when learning a task can reduce the likelihood of developing overly specified strategies and experiencing mental set.
Helicity Evolution at Small $x$: Flavor Singlet and Non-Singlet Observables

description: We extend our earlier results for the quark helicity evolution at small $x$ to derive the small-$x$ asymptotics of the flavor singlet and flavor non-singlet quark helicity TMDs and PDFs and of the $g_1$ structure function. In the flavor singlet case we re-derive the evolution equations obtained in our previous paper on the subject, performing additional cross-checks of our results. In the flavor non-singlet case we construct new small-$x$ evolution equations by employing the large-$N_c$ limit. All evolution equations resum double-logarithmic powers of $α_s \, \ln^2 (1/x)$ in the polarization-dependent evolution along with the single-logarithmic powers of $α_s \, \ln (1/x)$ in the unpolarized evolution which includes saturation effects. We solve the linearized flavor non-singlet equation analytically, obtaining an intercept which agrees with the one calculated earlier by Bartels, Ermolaev and Ryskin using the infra-red evolution equations. Our numerical solution of the linearized large-$N_c$ evolution equations for the flavor singlet case is presented in the accompanying Letter and is further discussed here.

description: Here, we generated bispecific antibody (bsAb) derivatives that mimic the function of interleukin (IL)-18 based on single domain antibodies (sdAbs) specific to IL-18 Rα and IL-18 Rβ. For this, camelids were immunized, followed by yeast surface display (YSD)-enabled discovery of VHHs targeting the individual receptor subunits. Upon reformatting into a strictly monovalent (1 + 1) bispecific sdAb architecture, several bsAbs triggered dose-dependent IL-18 R downstream signaling on IL-18 reporter cells, as well as IFN-γ release by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the presence of low-dose IL-12. However, compared with IL-18, potencies and efficacies were considerably attenuated. By engineering paratope valencies and the spatial orientation of individual paratopes within the overall design architecture, we were able to generate IL-18 mimetics displaying significantly augmented functionalities, resulting in bispecific cytokine mimetics that were more potent than IL-18 in triggering proinflammatory cytokine release. Furthermore, generated IL-18 mimetics were unaffected from inhibition by IL-18 binding protein decoy receptor. Essentially, we demonstrate that this strategy enables the generation of IL-18 mimetics with tailor-made cytokine functionalities.

description: We investigate the decay of 87Br, 88Br and 94Rb using total absorption gamma-ray spectroscopy. These important fission products are beta-delayed neutron emitters. Our data show considerable gamma-intensity, so far unobserved in high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy, from states at high excitation energy. We also find significant differences with the beta intensity that can be deduced from existing measurements of the beta spectrum. We evaluate the impact of the present data on reactor decay heat using summation calculations. Although the effect is relatively small it helps to reduce the discrepancy between calculations and integral measurements of the photon component for 235U fission at cooling times in the range 1 to 100 s. We also use summation calculations to evaluate the impact of present data on reactor antineutrino spectra. We find a significant effect at antineutrino energies in the range of 5 to 9 MeV. In addition, we observe an unexpected strong probability for gamma emission from neutron unbound states populated in the daughter nucleus. The gamma branching is compared to Hauser-Feshbach calculations which allow one to explain the large value for bromine isotopes as due to nuclear structure. However the branching for 94Rb, although much smaller, hints of the need to increase the radiative width by one order-of-magnitude. This leads to a similar increase in the calculated (n,gamma) cross section for this very neutron-rich nucleus with a potential impact on r-process abundance calculations.

description: In our previous paper, Lonely points, we introduced the notion of a lonely point, due to P. Simon. A point $p\in X$ is lonely if it is a limit point of a countable dense-in-itself set, not a limit point a countable discrete set and all countable sets whose limit point it is, form a filter. We use the space ${\mathcal G}_ω$ from a paper of A. Dow, A.V. Gubbi and A. Szymański (Rigid Stone spaces within ZFC, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 102 (1988), no. 3, 745--748) to construct lonely points in $ω^*$. This answers the question of P. Simon posed in our paper Lonely points (Lonely points in $ω^*$, Topology Appl. 155 (2008), no. 16, 1766--1771).

Unterschiedliche Ansätze zur Fahrzeugklassifikation u.a auch mit neuronalen Netzwerken werden untersucht und bewertet. Durch die Fahrzeugwiedererkennung können streckenbezogene Verkehrsdaten geschätzt werden. Im Vergleich zu einem Referenzverfahren werden zwei unterschiedliche Methoden entwickelt und analysiert. Das erste Verfahren benutzt Kostenfunktionen auf der Basis von Fahrzeugmerkmalen und lokalen Streckenprognosen, das zweite Verfahren berücksichtigt die statistischen Bindungen der Fahrzeuge im Streckenabschnitt durch eine Modellierung mit Hidden-Markov-Modellen.

description: Within the scope of this thesis efficient methods with pattern recognition systems are specified for the classification and recognition of vehicles with signals from induction loops. Different approaches to vehicle classification, including neural networks, are investigated and evaluated. Vehicle traffic recognition can be used to estimate route-related traffic data. Two different methods are developed and analyzed in comparison to a reference method. The first method uses cost functions on the basis of vehicle characteristics and local route forecasts, the second method takes into account the statistical links of the vehicles in the route section by modeling with Hidden Markov models. Finally, the use of the route-related traffic data in traffic management systems is described using the state-of-the-art estimation method using a model-based estimation method.

description: Adiabatic oscillation frequencies of stellar models, computed with the standard mixing-length formulation for convection, increasingly deviate with radial order from observations in solar-like stars. Standard solar models overestimate adiabatic frequencies by as much as ~ 20 μHz. In this letter, we address the physical processes of turbulent convection that are predominantly responsible for the frequency differences between standard models and observations, also called `surface effects'. We compare measured solar frequencies from the MDI instrument on the SOHO spacecraft with frequency calculations that include three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamical simulation results in the equilibrium model, nonadiabatic effects, and a consistent treatment of the turbulent pressure in both the equilibrium and stability computations. With the consistent inclusion of the above physics in our model computation we are able to reproduce the observed solar frequencies to < 3 μHz without the need of any additional ad-hoc functional corrections.

description: Using the non-abelian DBI action we find an effective matrix model that describes the dynamics of weakly interacting giant gravitons wrapped on three-spheres in the AdS part of AdS_5 x S^5 at high energies with two angular momenta on the S^5. In parallel we consider the limit of \CN=4 super Yang-Mills theory near a certain unitarity bound where it reduces to the quantum mechanical theory called SU(2) Spin Matrix Theory. We show that the exact same matrix model that describes the giant gravitons on the string theory side also provides the effective description in the strong coupling and large energy limit of the Spin Matrix Theory. Thus, we are able to match non-supersymmetric dynamics of D-branes on AdS_5 x S^5 to a finite-N regime in \CN=4 super Yang-Mills theory near a unitarity bound.

description: We investigate the zero-temperature metal-insulator transition in a one-dimensional two-component Fermi gas in the presence of a quasi-periodic potential resulting from the superposition of two optical lattices of equal intensity but incommensurate periods. A mobility edge separating (low energy) Anderson localized and (high energy) extended single-particle states appears in this continuous-space model beyond a critical intensity of the quasi-periodic potential. In order to discern the metallic phase from the insulating phase in the interacting many-fermion system, we employ unbiased quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations combined with the many-particle localization length familiar from the modern theory of the insulating state. In the noninteracting limit, the critical optical-lattice intensity for the metal-insulator transition predicted by the QMC simulations coincides with the Anderson localization transition of the single-particle eigenstates. We show that weak repulsive interactions induce a shift of this critical point towards larger intensities, meaning that repulsion favors metallic behavior. This shift appears to be linear in the interaction parameter, suggesting that even infinitesimal interactions can affect the position of the critical point.

description: The exploration of electric field controlled magnetism has come under scrutiny for its intriguing magnetoelectric phenomenon as well as technological advances in spintronics. Herein, the tremendous effect of an epitaxial strain on voltage-controlled perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (VPMA) is demonstrated in a transition-metal/ferromagnet/MgO (TM/FM/MgO) heterostructure from first-principles electronic structure computation. By tuning the epitaxial strain in Ta/Fe/MgO as a model system of TM/FM/MgO, we find distinctly different behaviours of VPMA from V- to Λ-shape trends with a substantially large magnetoelectric coefficient, up to an order of 1000 fJ/Vm. We further reveal that the VPMA modulation under strain is mainly governed by the inherently large spin-orbit coupling of Ta 5d-Fe 3d hybridized orbitals at the TM/FM interface, although the Fe 3d-O 2p hybridization at the FM/MgO is partly responsible in determining the PMA of Ta/Fe/MgO. These results suggest that the control of epitaxial strain enables the engineering of VPMA, and provides physical insights for the divergent behaviors of VPMA and magnetoelectric coefficients found in TM/FM/MgO experiments.

description: We derive the complete set of geodesic equations for massive and massless test particles of a five-dimensional, charged, rotating black hole solution of the Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons field equations in five-dimensional minimal gauged supergravity and present their analytical solutions in terms of Weierstraß' elliptic functions. We study the polar and radial motion, depending on the black hole and test particle parameters, and characterize the test particle motion qualitatively by the means of effective potentials. We use the analytical solutions in order to visualize the test particle motion by two- and three-dimensional plots.

Atomic-Scale Study of Oxygen Vacancies in Transition Metal Perovskite Oxides
Creators: name: Rui, Xue
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Oxygen vacancies in transition metal perovskite oxides (ABO3) play the key role in controlling the functional properties of materials, such as conductivity, ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic and electrocatalytic performance. In particular, the presence of ordered oxygen vacancies, oxygen tetrahedral/square-planer (BO4) layers, are capable of introducing crystal-chemical factors to break the initial equilibrium in the structure and highly influence those remarkable properties. During my PhD research, utilizing aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy accompanied with in-situ cooling/heating as well as ex-situ electrochemical cycling technique, I investigate the effects of ordered oxygen vacancies at the atomic scale in perovskite oxide. The crystal/electronic structure of ordered oxygen vacancies in oxygen deficient La0.5Sr0.5CoO3-ẟ thin film is demonstrated to couple with substrate SrTiO3 low temperature phase transition. The atomic arrangement of ordered oxygen vacancy domains in LaNiO3-ẟ is shown to determine the ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic property. The formation of oxygen vacancy orderings in La1-xSrxCoO3 oxygen evolution reaction catalysts is found to facilitate the surface decomposition/corrosion, creating highly active surfaces with increase interactions with Fe impurities. The dynamics of oxygen vacancy ordering in La1-xSrxCoO3 are studied during in-situ heating in the electron microscope column to simulate the oxygen reduction evolution, serving as important reference for analyzing surface decomposition in electrochemical cycling process. Based on all the in-situ/ex-situ observation, my research advances the understanding of structure-property relationship in oxygen deficient transition metal perovskite oxides, opening up pathways for controlling the functional properties of metal oxide device and catalyst via tuning oxygen vacancies.

description: We present a meta-analysis of star-formation rate (SFR) indicators in the GAMA survey, producing 12 different SFR metrics and determining the SFR-M* relation for each. We compare and contrast published methods to extract the SFR from each indicator, using a well-defined local sample of morphologically-selected spiral galaxies, which excludes sources which potentially have large recent changes to their SFR. The different methods are found to yield SFR-M* relations with inconsistent slopes and normalisations, suggesting differences between calibration methods. The recovered SFR-M* relations also have a large range in scatter which, as SFRs of the targets may be considered constant over the different timescales, suggests differences in the accuracy by which methods correct for attenuation in individual targets. We then recalibrate all SFR indicators to provide new, robust and consistent luminosity-to-SFR calibrations, finding that the most consistent slopes and normalisations of the SFR-M* relations are obtained when recalibrated using the radiation transfer method of Popescu et al. These new calibrations can be used to directly compare SFRs across different observations, epochs and galaxy populations. We then apply our calibrations to the GAMA II equatorial dataset and explore the evolution of star-formation in the local Universe. We determine the evolution of the normalisation to the SFR-M* relation from 0 < z < 0.35 - finding consistent trends with previous estimates at 0.3 < z < 1.2. We then provide the definitive z < 0.35 Cosmic Star Formation History, SFR-M* relation and its evolution over the last 3 billion years.

Conduction in quasi-periodic and quasi-random lattices: Fibonacci, Riemann, and Anderson models

description: We study the ground state conduction properties of noninteracting electrons in aperiodic but non-random one-dimensional models with chiral symmetry, and make comparisons against Anderson models with non-deterministic disorder. The first model we consider is the Fibonacci lattice, which is a paradigmatic model of quasicrystals; the second is the Riemann lattice, which we define inspired by Dyson's proposal on the possible connection between the Riemann hypothesis and a suitably defined quasicrystal. Our analysis is based on Kohn's many-particle localization tensor defined within the modern theory of the insulating state. In the Fibonacci quasicrystal, where all single-particle eigenstates are critical (i.e., intermediate between ergodic and localized), the noninteracting electron gas is found to be a conductor at most electron densities, including the half-filled case; however, at various specific fillings $ρ$, including the values $ρ= 1/g^n$, where $g$ is the golden ratio and $n$ is any integer, the gas turns into an insulator due to spectral gaps. Metallic behaviour is found at half-filling in the Riemann lattice as well; however, in contrast to the Fibonacci quasicrystal, the Riemann lattice is generically an insulator due to single-particle eigenstate localization, likely at all other fillings. Its behaviour turns out to be alike that of the off-diagonal Anderson model, albeit with different system-size scaling of the band-centre anomalies. The advantages of analysing the Kohn's localization tensor instead of other measures of localization familiar from the theory of Anderson insulators (such as the participation ratio or the Lyapunov exponent) are highlighted.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Purpose: This two-phase qualitative study aimed to contribute to understandings of the impact of the environment on participation in the everyday activities of people aging with intellectual disability and dementia. It also sought to explore ways for older adults with intellectual disability to participate in research. Background: Despite the increasing number of adults aging with intellectual disability and dementia, there is limited research that examines this group's perceptions and experiences around aging with multiple disabilities, specifically considering participation across various environments and within current systems. Methods: Four women with intellectual disability and dementia who lived in a non-familial residential settings participated in small groups utilizing a nominal group technique and twelve caregivers participated in traditional focus groups to identify important environmental barriers and supports to participation in meaningful everyday activities. Results from the first phase guided a subsequent phase of participant observations and interviews with three of the original participants with ID and dementia across various home, work, and community environments. Results: Important influences on participation for people intellectual disability and dementia occurred across micro- and macro- environmental contexts, with importance noted for interpersonal interactions and boarder organizational environments. Tensions around participation existed as people with intellectual disability and dementia exercised their agency in various contexts and sought to maintain peer support, while formal care networks focused on safety and supervision. Participants with intellectual disability and dementia expressed positive experiences participating in research and were able to contribute meaningful data with accommodations and supports. Discussion: People with ID and dementia's participation in research is important given the different perspectives offered when compared to those of caregivers. Results from this exploratory research can help inform organizations and other stakeholders invested in providing meaningful supports and services for adults aging with ID and their families.
