PIPQ: Strict Insert-Optimized Concurrent Priority Queue

Authors: Olivia Grimes, Ahmed Hassan, Panagiota Fatourou, and Roberto Palmieri

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 356, 39th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2025)


Abstract
This paper presents PIPQ, a strict and linearizable concurrent priority queue whose design differs from existing solutions in literature because it focuses on enabling parallelism of insert operations as opposed to accelerating delete-min operations, as traditionally done. In a nutshell, PIPQ’s structure includes two levels: the worker level and the leader level. The worker level provides per-thread data structures enabling fast and parallel insertions. The leader level contains the highest priority elements in the priority queue and can thus serve delete-min operations. Our evaluation, which includes an exploration of different data access patterns, operation mixes, runtime settings, and an integration into a graph-based application, shows that PIPQ outperforms competitors in a variety of cases, especially with insert-dominant workloads.

Hardware Compute Partitioning on NVIDIA GPUs for Composable Systems

Authors: Joshua Bakita and James H. Anderson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 335, 37th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2025)


Abstract
As GPU-using tasks become more common in embedded, safety-critical systems, efficiency demands necessitate sharing a single GPU among multiple tasks. Unfortunately, existing ways to schedule multiple tasks onto a GPU often either result in a loss of ability to meet deadlines, or a loss of efficiency. In this work, we develop a system-level spatial compute partitioning mechanism for NVIDIA GPUs and demonstrate that it can be used to execute tasks efficiently without compromising timing predictability. Our tool, called nvtaskset, supports composable systems by not requiring task, driver, or hardware modifications. In our evaluation, we demonstrate sub-1-μs overheads, stronger partition enforcement, and finer-granularity partitioning when using our mechanism instead of NVIDIA’s Multi-Process Service (MPS) or Multi-instance GPU (MiG) features.

Interarrival Times Characterization and Fitting for Markovian Traffic Analysis

Authors: Giuliano Casale, Eddy Z. Zhang, and Evgenia Smirni

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7461, Numerical Methods for Structured Markov Chains (2008)


Abstract
We propose a traffic fitting algorithm for Markovian Arrival Processes (MAPs) that can capture statistics of any order of interarrival times. By studying real traffic traces, we show that matching higher order properties, in addition to first and second order descriptors, results in increased queueing prediction accuracy with respect to other algorithms that only match the mean, coefficient of variation, and autocorrelations. The result promotes the idea of modeling traffic traces using the interarrival time process instead of the counting process that is more frequently employed in previous work, but for which higher order moments are difficult to manipulate. We proceed by first characterizing the general properties of MAPs using a spectral approach. Based on this characterization, we show how different MAP processes can be combined together using Kronecker products to define a larger MAP with predefined properties of interarrival times. We then devise an algorithm that is based on this Kronecker composition and can accurately fit traffic traces. The algorithm employs nonlinear optimization programs that can be customized to fit an arbitrary number of moments and to meet the desired cost-accuracy tradeoff. Numerical results of the fitting algorithm on real HTTP and TCP traffic data, such as the Bellcore Aug89 trace, indicate that the proposed fitting methods achieve increased prediction accuracy with respect to other state-of-the-art fitting methods.
