Constraint Based Compiler Optimization for Energy Harvesting Applications

Authors: Yannan Li and Chao Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 263, 37th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2023)


Abstract
We propose a method for optimizing the energy efficiency of software code running on small computing devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) that are powered exclusively by electricity harvested from ambient energy in the environment. Due to the weak and unstable nature of the energy source, it is challenging for developers to manually optimize the software code to deal with mismatch between the intermittent power supply and the computation demand. Our method overcomes the challenge by using a combination of three techniques. First, we use static program analysis to automatically identify opportunities for precomputation, i.e., computation that may be performed ahead of time as opposed to just in time. Second, we optimize the precomputation policy, i.e., a way to split and reorder steps of a computation task in the original software to match the intermittent power supply while satisfying a variety of system requirements; this is accomplished by formulating energy optimization as a constraint satisfiability problem and then solving the problem using an off-the-shelf SMT solver. Third, we use a state-of-the-art compiler platform (LLVM) to automate the program transformation to ensure that the optimized software code is correct by construction. We have evaluated our method on a large number of benchmark programs, which are C programs implementing secure communication protocols that are popular for energy-harvesting IoT devices. Our experimental results show that the method is efficient in optimizing all benchmark programs. Furthermore, the optimized programs significantly outperform the original programs in terms of energy efficiency and latency, and the overall improvement ranges from 2.3X to 36.7X.

GPU Computation of the Euler Characteristic Curve for Imaging Data

Authors: Fan Wang, Hubert Wagner, and Chao Chen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 224, 38th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2022)


Abstract
Persistent homology is perhaps the most popular and useful tool offered by topological data analysis - with point-cloud data being the most common setup. Its older cousin, the Euler characteristic curve (ECC) is less expressive - but far easier to compute. It is particularly suitable for analyzing imaging data, and is commonly used in fields ranging from astrophysics to biomedical image analysis. These fields are embracing GPU computations to handle increasingly large datasets. We therefore propose an optimized GPU implementation of ECC computation for 2D and 3D grayscale images. The goal of this paper is twofold. First, we offer a practical tool, illustrating its performance with thorough experimentation - but also explain its inherent shortcomings. Second, this simple algorithm serves as a perfect backdrop for highlighting basic GPU programming techniques that make our implementation so efficient - and some common pitfalls we avoided. This is intended as a step towards a wider usage of GPU programming in computational geometry and topology software. We find this is particularly important as geometric and topological tools are used in conjunction with modern, GPU-accelerated machine learning frameworks.

Checking Linearizability of Concurrent Priority Queues

Authors: Ahmed Bouajjani, Constantin Enea, and Chao Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 85, 28th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2017)


Abstract
Efficient implementations of concurrent objects such as atomic collections are essential to modern computing. Unfortunately their correctness criteria — linearizability with respect to given ADT specifications — are hard to verify. Verifying linearizability is undecidable in general, even on classes of implementations where the usual control-state reachability is decidable. In this work we consider concurrent priority queues which are fundamental to many multi-threaded applications like task scheduling or discrete event simulation, and show that verifying linearizability of such implementations is reducible to control-state reachability. This reduction entails the first decidability results for verifying concurrent priority queues with an unbounded number of threads, and it enables the application of existing safety-verification tools for establishing their correctness.

Cardiac Trabeculae Segmentation: an Application of Computational Topology (Multimedia Contribution)

Authors: Chao Chen, Dimitris Metaxas, Yusu Wang, and Pengxiang Wu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 77, 33rd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2017)


Abstract
In this video, we present a research project on cardiac trabeculae segmentation. Trabeculae are fine muscle columns within human ventricles whose both ends are attached to the wall. Extracting these structures are very challenging even with state-of-the-art image segmentation techniques. We observed that these structures form natural topological handles. Based on such observation, we developed a topological approach, which employs advanced computational topology methods and achieve high quality segmentation results.
