Brief Announcement: Persistent Software Combining

Authors: Panagiota Fatourou, Nikolaos D. Kallimanis, and Eleftherios Kosmas

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 209, 35th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2021)

Abstract
We study the performance power of software combining in designing recoverable algorithms and data structures. We present two recoverable synchronization protocols, one blocking and another wait-free, which illustrate how to use software combining to achieve both low persistence and synchronization cost. Our experiments show that these protocols outperform by far state-of-the-art recoverable universal constructions and transactional memory systems. We built recoverable queues and stacks, based on these protocols, that exhibit much better performance than previous such implementations.

An Efficient Universal Construction for Large Objects

Authors: Panagiota Fatourou, Nikolaos D. Kallimanis, and Eleni Kanellou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 153, 23rd International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2019)

Abstract
This paper presents L-UC, a universal construction that efficiently implements dynamic objects of large state in a wait-free manner. The step complexity of L-UC is O(n+kw), where n is the number of processes, k is the interval contention (i.e., the maximum number of active processes during the execution interval of an operation), and w is the worst-case time complexity to perform an operation on the sequential implementation of the simulated object. L-UC efficiently implements objects whose size can change dynamically. It improves upon previous universal constructions either by efficiently handling objects whose state is large and can change dynamically, or by achieving better step complexity.

Lock Oscillation: Boosting the Performance of Concurrent Data Structures

Authors: Panagiota Fatourou and Nikolaos D. Kallimanis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 95, 21st International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2017)

Abstract
In combining-based synchronization, two main parameters that affect performance are the com- bining degree of the synchronization algorithm, i.e. the average number of requests that each com- biner serves, and the number of expensive synchronization primitives (like CAS, Swap, etc.) that it performs. The value of the first parameter must be high, whereas the second must be kept low. In this paper, we present Osci, a new combining technique that shows remarkable perform- ance when paired with cheap context switching. We experimentally show that Osci significantly outperforms all previous combining algorithms. Specifically, the throughput of Osci is higher than that of previously presented combining techniques by more than an order of magnitude. Notably, Osci’s throughput is much closer to the ideal than all previous algorithms, while keep- ing the average latency in serving each request low. We evaluated the performance of Osci in two different multiprocessor architectures, namely AMD and Intel. Based on Osci, we implement and experimentally evaluate implementations of concurrent queues and stacks. These implementations outperform by far all current state-of-the-art concur- rent queue and stack implementations. Although the current version of Osci has been evaluated in an environment supporting user-level threads, it would run correctly on any threading library, preemptive or not (including kernel threads).

Wait-Free Concurrent Graph Objects with Dynamic Traversals

Authors: Nikolaos D. Kallimanis and Eleni Kanellou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 46, 19th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2015)

Abstract
Graphs are versatile data structures that allow the implementation of a variety of applications, such as computer-aided design and manufacturing, video gaming, or scientific simulations. However, although data structures such as queues, stacks, and trees have been widely studied and implemented in the concurrent context, multi-process applications that rely on graphs still largely use a sequential implementation where accesses are synchronized through the use of global locks or partitioning, thus imposing serious performance bottlenecks. In this paper we introduce an innovative concurrent graph model that provides addition and removal of any edge of the graph, as well as atomic traversals of a part (or the entirety) of the graph. We further present Dense, a concurrent graph implementation that aims at mitigating the two aforementioned implementation drawbacks. Dense achieves wait-freedom by relying on helping and provides the inbuilt capability of performing a partial snapshot on a dynamically determined subset of the graph.
