HMB: Scheduling PREM-Like Real-Time Tasks at High Memory Bandwidth (Invited Paper)

Authors: Mohammadhassan Gholami Derouei, Paolo Valente, Marco Solieri, and Andrea Marongiu

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 117, Fifth Workshop on Next Generation Real-Time Embedded Systems (NG-RES 2024)

Abstract
Current homogeneous and heterogeneous computing systems reach high performance through parallelization. Yet, parallel execution of tasks entails non-trivial latency-vs-throughput issues when it comes to concurrent accesses to shared memory. In this respect, effective bandwidth regulation solutions do exist, and provide a basic mechanism to control the latency of memory accesses. Such solutions, though, are often cumbersome to deploy and to configure to guarantee both bounded latency and high utilization of the memory bandwidth. The problem is that memory latency varies non-linearly with the number and type of concurrent accesses, and the latter may in turn vary with time, often unpredictably. For this reason, previous attempts at memory regulation in scheduling solutions resulted either in poor real-time execution guarantees, or in severe underutilization of the memory bandwidth. In this paper, we outline High Memory Bandwidth (HMB), a scheduling solution that guarantees bounded response times to real-time task sets through memory regulation, while also reaching a high utilization memory bandwidth. Since the complete solution is complex, just like the problem it addresses, this preliminary work defines in full detail only the core mechanism. This mechanism builds on the notion of memory access slowdown experienced by any processor performing back-to-back memory operations; this slowdown is due to the interference generated by other processors also accessing the memory at the same time. The core mechanism assumes that each processor can tolerate a certain amount of slowdown before the timing behavior of the task(s) it is running is compromised. Each processor has a priority assigned: the higher the priority, the more stringent the timing requirements. The slowdown can be controlled by regulating with precision the maximum amount of system bandwidth each processor is allowed to use, based on its priority. The proposed mechanism finds the maximum bandwidth each processor can use such that the highest number of processors simultaneously accessing memory is found (thus avoiding memory bandwidth underutilization) while guaranteeing that the slowdown of each processor is kept within the tolerated limits.

On the Complexity of Algorithms with Predictions for Dynamic Graph Problems

Authors: Monika Henzinger, Barna Saha, Martin P. Seybold, and Christopher Ye

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 287, 15th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2024)

Abstract
Algorithms with predictions is a new research direction that leverages machine learned predictions for algorithm design. So far a plethora of recent works have incorporated predictions to improve on worst-case bounds for online problems. In this paper, we initiate the study of complexity of dynamic data structures with predictions, including dynamic graph algorithms. Unlike online algorithms, the goal in dynamic data structures is to maintain the solution efficiently with every update. We investigate three natural models of prediction: (1) δ-accurate predictions where each predicted request matches the true request with probability δ, (2) list-accurate predictions where a true request comes from a list of possible requests, and (3) bounded delay predictions where the true requests are a permutation of the predicted requests. We give general reductions among the prediction models, showing that bounded delay is the strongest prediction model, followed by list-accurate, and δ-accurate. Further, we identify two broad problem classes based on lower bounds due to the Online Matrix Vector (OMv) conjecture. Specifically, we show that locally correctable dynamic problems have strong conditional lower bounds for list-accurate predictions that are equivalent to the non-prediction setting, unless list-accurate predictions are perfect. Moreover, we show that locally reducible dynamic problems have time complexity that degrades gracefully with the quality of bounded delay predictions. We categorize problems with known OMv lower bounds accordingly and give several upper bounds in the delay model that show that our lower bounds are almost tight. We note that concurrent work by v.d.Brand et al. [SODA '24] and Liu and Srinivas [arXiv:2307.08890] independently study dynamic graph algorithms with predictions, but their work is mostly focused on showing upper bounds.

Energy-Constrained Programmable Matter Under Unfair Adversaries

Authors: Jamison W. Weber, Tishya Chhabra, Andréa W. Richa, and Joshua J. Daymude

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 286, 27th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2023)

Abstract
Individual modules of programmable matter participate in their system’s collective behavior by expending energy to perform actions. However, not all modules may have access to the external energy source powering the system, necessitating a local and distributed strategy for supplying energy to modules. In this work, we present a general energy distribution framework for the canonical amoebot model of programmable matter that transforms energy-agnostic algorithms into energy-constrained ones with equivalent behavior and an 𝒪(n²)-round runtime overhead - even under an unfair adversary - provided the original algorithms satisfy certain conventions. We then prove that existing amoebot algorithms for leader election (ICDCN 2023) and shape formation (Distributed Computing, 2023) are compatible with this framework and show simulations of their energy-constrained counterparts, demonstrating how other unfair algorithms can be generalized to the energy-constrained setting with relatively little effort. Finally, we show that our energy distribution framework can be composed with the concurrency control framework for amoebot algorithms (Distributed Computing, 2023), allowing algorithm designers to focus on the simpler energy-agnostic, sequential setting but gain the general applicability of energy-constrained, asynchronous correctness.

On Min-Max Graph Balancing with Strict Negative Correlation Constraints

Authors: Ting-Yu Kuo, Yu-Han Chen, Andrea Frosini, Sun-Yuan Hsieh, Shi-Chun Tsai, and Mong-Jen Kao

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 283, 34th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2023)

Abstract
We consider the min-max graph balancing problem with strict negative correlation (SNC) constraints. The graph balancing problem arises as an equivalent formulation of the classic unrelated machine scheduling problem, where we are given a hypergraph G = (V,E) with vertex-dependent edge weight function p: E×V ↦ ℤ^{≥0} that represents the processing time of the edges (jobs). The SNC constraints, which are given as edge subsets C_1,C_2,…,C_k, require that the edges in the same subset cannot be assigned to the same vertex at the same time. Under these constraints, the goal is to compute an edge orientation (assignment) that minimizes the maximum workload of the vertices. In this paper, we conduct a general study on the approximability of this problem. First, we show that, in the presence of SNC constraints, the case with max_{e ∈ E} |e| = max_i |C_i| = 2 is the only case for which approximation solutions can be obtained. Further generalization on either direction, e.g., max_{e ∈ E} |e| or max_i |C_i|, will directly make computing a feasible solution an NP-complete problem to solve. Then, we present a 2-approximation algorithm for the case with max_{e ∈ E} |e| = max_i |C_i| = 2, based on a set of structural simplifications and a tailored assignment LP for this problem. We note that our approach is general and can be applied to similar settings, e.g., scheduling with SNC constraints to minimize the weighted completion time, to obtain similar approximation guarantees. Further cases are discussed to describe the landscape of the approximability of this prbolem. For the case with |V| ≤ 2, which is already known to be NP-hard, we present a fully-polynomial time approximation scheme (FPTAS). On the other hand, we show that the problem is at least as hard as vertex cover to approximate when |V| ≥ 3.

Batching Trades on Automated Market Makers

Authors: Andrea Canidio and Robin Fritsch

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 282, 5th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2023)

Abstract
We consider an automated market maker (AMM) in which all trades are batched and executed at a price equal to the marginal price (i.e., the price of an arbitrarily small trade) after the batch trades. We show that such an AMM is a function maximizing AMM (or FM-AMM): for given prices, it trades to reach the highest possible value of a given function. Competition between arbitrageurs guarantees that an FM-AMM always trades at a fair, equilibrium price, and arbitrage profits (also known as LVR) are eliminated. Sandwich attacks are also eliminated because all trades occur at the exogenously-determined equilibrium price. Finally, we show that our results are robust to the case where the batch has exclusive access to the FM-AMM, but can also trade on a traditional constant function AMM.

LTL over Finite Words Can Be Exponentially More Succinct Than Pure-Past LTL, and vice versa

Authors: Alessandro Artale, Luca Geatti, Nicola Gigante, Andrea Mazzullo, and Angelo Montanari

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 278, 30th International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning (TIME 2023)

Abstract
Linear Temporal Logic over finite traces (LTL_𝖿) has proved itself to be an important and effective formalism in formal verification as well as in artificial intelligence. Pure past LTL_𝖿 (pLTL) is the logic obtained from LTL_𝖿 by replacing each (future) temporal operator by a corresponding past one, and is naturally interpreted at the end of a finite trace. It is known that each property definable in LTL_𝖿 is also definable in pLTL, and ǐceversa. However, despite being extensively used in practice, to the best of our knowledge, there is no systematic study of their succinctness. In this paper, we investigate the succinctness of LTL_𝖿 and pLTL. First, we prove that pLTL can be exponentially more succinct than LTL_𝖿 by showing that there exists a property definable with a pLTL formula of size n such that the size of all LTL_𝖿 formulas defining it is at least exponential in n. Then, we prove that LTL_𝖿 can be exponentially more succinct than pLTL as well. This result shows that, although being expressively equivalent, LTL_𝖿 and pLTL are incomparable when succinctness is concerned. In addition, we study the succinctness of Safety-LTL (the syntactic safety fragment of LTL over infinite traces) with respect to its canonical form G(pLTL), whose formulas are of the form G(α), G being the globally operator and α a pLTL formula. We prove that G(pLTL) can be exponentially more succinct than Safety-LTL, and that the same holds for the dual cosafety fragment.

Why Is Greenwich so Common? Quantifying the Uniqueness of Multivariate Observations (Short Paper)

Authors: Andrea Ballatore and Stefano Cavazzi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 277, 12th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2023)

Abstract
The concept of uniqueness can play an important role when the assessment of an observation’s distinctiveness is essential. This article introduces a distance-based uniqueness measure that quantifies the relative rarity or commonness of a multi-variate observation within a dataset. Unique observations exhibit rare combinations of values, and not necessarily extreme values. Taking a cognitive psychological perspective, our measure defines uniqueness as the sum of distances between a target observation and all other observations. After presenting the measure u and its corresponding standardised version u_z, we propose a method to calculate a p value through a probability density function. We then demonstrate the measure’s behaviour in a case study on the uniqueness of Greater London boroughs, based on real-world socioeconomic variables. This initial investigation indicates that u can support exploratory data analysis.

Completeness for Categories of Generalized Automata ((Co)algebraic pearls)

Authors: Guido Boccali, Andrea Laretto, Fosco Loregian, and Stefano Luneia

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 270, 10th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2023)

Abstract
We present a slick proof of completeness and cocompleteness for categories of F-automata, where the span of maps E ←d E⊗ I s→ O that usually defines a deterministic automaton of input I and output O in a monoidal category (K,⊗) is replaced by a span E ← FE → O for a generic endofunctor F : K → K of a generic category K: these automata exist in their "Mealy" and "Moore" version and form categories F-Mly and F-Mre; such categories can be presented as strict 2-pullbacks in Cat and whenever F is a left adjoint, both F-Mly and F-Mre admit all limits and colimits that K admits. We mechanize our main results using the proof assistant Agda and the library https://github.com/agda/agda-categories.

Optimizing Fairness over Time with Homogeneous Workers (Short Paper)

Authors: Bart van Rossum, Rui Chen, and Andrea Lodi

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 115, 23rd Symposium on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modelling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS 2023)

Abstract
There is growing interest in including fairness in optimization models. In particular, the concept of fairness over time, or, long-term fairness, is gaining attention. In this paper, we focus on fairness over time in online optimization problems involving the assignment of work to multiple homogeneous workers. This encompasses many real-life problems, including variants of the vehicle routing problem and the crew scheduling problem. The online assignment problem with fairness over time is formally defined. We propose a simple and interpretable assignment policy with some desirable properties. In addition, we perform a case study on the capacitated vehicle routing problem. Empirically, we show that the most cost-efficient solution usually results in unfair assignments while much more fair solutions can be attained with minor efficiency loss using our policy.

On Dynamic Lifting and Effect Typing in Circuit Description Languages

Authors: Andrea Colledan and Ugo Dal Lago

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 269, 28th International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2022)

Abstract
In the realm of quantum computing, circuit description languages represent a valid alternative to traditional QRAM-style languages. They indeed allow for finer control over the output circuit, without sacrificing flexibility nor modularity. We introduce a generalization of the paradigmatic lambda-calculus Proto-Quipper-M, which models the core features of the quantum circuit description language Quipper. The extension, called Proto-Quipper-K, is meant to capture a very general form of dynamic lifting. This is made possible by the introduction of a rich type and effect system in which not only computations, but also the very types are effectful. The main results we give for the introduced language are the classic type soundness results, namely subject reduction and progress.

Commit-Reveal Schemes Against Front-Running Attacks (Extended Abstract)

Authors: Andrea Canidio and Vincent Danos

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 110, 4th International Conference on Blockchain Economics, Security and Protocols (Tokenomics 2022)

Abstract
We provide a game-theoretic analysis of the problem of front-running attacks. We use it to study a simple commit-reveal protocol and discuss its properties. This protocol has costs because it requires two messages and imposes a delay. However, we show that it prevents the most severe front-running attacks ("bad MEV") while preserving legitimate competition between users, guaranteeing that the earliest transaction in a block belongs to the honest user who values it the most ("good MEV").

Efficient Tomography of Non-Interacting-Fermion States

Authors: Scott Aaronson and Sabee Grewal

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 266, 18th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication and Cryptography (TQC 2023)

Abstract
We give an efficient algorithm that learns a non-interacting-fermion state, given copies of the state. For a system of n non-interacting fermions and m modes, we show that O(m³ n² log(1/δ) / ε⁴) copies of the input state and O(m⁴ n² log(1/δ)/ ε⁴) time are sufficient to learn the state to trace distance at most ε with probability at least 1 - δ. Our algorithm empirically estimates one-mode correlations in O(m) different measurement bases and uses them to reconstruct a succinct description of the entire state efficiently.

Bond Percolation in Small-World Graphs with Power-Law Distribution

Authors: Luca Becchetti, Andrea Clementi, Francesco Pasquale, Luca Trevisan, and Isabella Ziccardi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 257, 2nd Symposium on Algorithmic Foundations of Dynamic Networks (SAND 2023)

Abstract
Full-bond percolation with parameter p is the process in which, given a graph, for every edge independently, we keep the edge with probability p and delete it with probability 1-p. Bond percolation is studied in parallel computing and network science to understand the resilience of distributed systems to random link failure and the spread of information in networks through unreliable links. Moreover, the full-bond percolation is equivalent to the Reed-Frost process, a network version of SIR epidemic spreading. We consider one-dimensional power-law small-world graphs with parameter α obtained as the union of a cycle with additional long-range random edges: each pair of nodes {u,v} at distance L on the cycle is connected by a long-range edge {u,v}, with probability proportional to 1/L^α. Our analysis determines three phases for the percolation subgraph G_p of the small-world graph, depending on the value of α. - If α < 1, there is a p < 1 such that, with high probability, there are Ω(n) nodes that are reachable in G_p from one another in 𝒪(log n) hops; - If 1 < α < 2, there is a p < 1 such that, with high probability, there are Ω(n) nodes that are reachable in G_p from one another in log^{𝒪(1)}(n) hops; - If α > 2, for every p < 1, with high probability all connected components of G_p have size 𝒪(log n).

Adaptive Collective Responses to Local Stimuli in Anonymous Dynamic Networks

Authors: Shunhao Oh, Dana Randall, and Andréa W. Richa

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 257, 2nd Symposium on Algorithmic Foundations of Dynamic Networks (SAND 2023)

Abstract
We develop a framework for self-induced phase changes in programmable matter in which a collection of agents with limited computational and communication capabilities can collectively perform appropriate global tasks in response to local stimuli that dynamically appear and disappear. Agents reside on graph vertices, where each stimulus is only recognized locally, and agents communicate via token passing along edges to alert other agents to transition to an Aware state when stimuli are present and an Unaware state when the stimuli disappear. We present an Adaptive Stimuli Algorithm that is robust to competing waves of messages as multiple stimuli change, possibly adversarially. Moreover, in addition to handling arbitrary stimulus dynamics, the algorithm can handle agents reconfiguring the connections (edges) of the graph over time in a controlled way. As an application, we show how this Adaptive Stimuli Algorithm on reconfigurable graphs can be used to solve the foraging problem, where food sources may be discovered, removed, or shifted at arbitrary times. We would like the agents to consistently self-organize, using only local interactions, such that if the food remains in a position long enough, the agents transition to a gather phase in which many collectively form a single large component with small perimeter around the food. Alternatively, if no food source has existed recently, the agents should undergo a self-induced phase change and switch to a search phase in which they distribute themselves randomly throughout the lattice region to search for food. Unlike previous approaches to foraging, this process is indefinitely repeatable, withstanding competing waves of messages that may interfere with each other. Like a physical phase change, microscopic changes such as the deletion or addition of a single food source trigger these macroscopic, system-wide transitions as agents share information about the environment and respond locally to get the desired collective response.
