Improved Cut Strategy for Tensor Network Contraction Orders

Authors: Christoph Staudt, Mark Blacher, Julien Klaus, Farin Lippmann, and Joachim Giesen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 301, 22nd International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2024)

Abstract
In the field of quantum computing, simulating quantum systems on classical computers is crucial. Tensor networks are fundamental in simulating quantum systems. A tensor network is a collection of tensors, that need to be contracted into a result tensor. Tensor contraction is a generalization of matrix multiplication to higher order tensors. The contractions can be performed in different orders, and the order has a significant impact on the number of floating point operations (flops) needed to get the result tensor. It is known that finding an optimal contraction order is NP-hard. The current state-of-the-art approach for finding efficient contraction orders is to combinine graph partitioning with a greedy strategy. Although heavily used in practice, the current approach ignores so-called free indices, chooses node weights without regarding previous computations, and requires numerous hyperparameters that need to be tuned at runtime. In this paper, we address these shortcomings by developing a novel graph cut strategy. The proposed modifications yield contraction orders that significantly reduce the number of flops in the tensor contractions compared to the current state of the art. Moreover, by removing the need for hyperparameter tuning at runtime, our approach converges to an efficient solution faster, which reduces the required optimization time by at least an order of magnitude.

The Omnivisor: A Real-Time Static Partitioning Hypervisor Extension for Heterogeneous Core Virtualization over MPSoCs

Authors: Daniele Ottaviano, Francesco Ciraolo, Renato Mancuso, and Marcello Cinque

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 298, 36th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2024)

Abstract
Following the needs of industrial applications, virtualization has emerged as one of the most effective approaches for the consolidation of mixed-criticality systems while meeting tight constraints in terms of space, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C). In embedded platforms with homogeneous processors, a wealth of works have proposed designs and techniques to enforce spatio-temporal isolation by leveraging well-understood virtualization support. Unfortunately, achieving the same goal on heterogeneous MultiProcessor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs) has been largely overlooked. Modern hypervisors are designed to operate exclusively on main cores, with little or no consideration given to other co-processors within the system, such as small microcontroller-level CPUs or soft-cores deployed on programmable logic (FPGA). Typically, hypervisors consider co-processors as I/O devices allocated to virtual machines that run on primary cores, yielding full control and responsibility over them. Nevertheless, inadequate management of these resources can lead to spatio-temporal isolation issues within the system. In this paper, we propose the Omnivisor model as a paradigm for the holistic management of heterogeneous platforms. The model generalizes the features of real-time static partitioning hypervisors to enable the execution of virtual machines on processors with different Instruction Set Architectures (ISAs) within the same MPSoC. Moreover, the Omnivisor ensures temporal and spatial isolation between virtual machines by integrating and leveraging a variety of hardware and software protection mechanisms. The presented approach not only expands the scope of virtualization in MPSoCs but also enhances the overall system reliability and real-time performance for mixed-criticality applications. A full open-source reference implementation of the Omnivisor based on the Jailhouse hypervisor is provided, targeting ARM real-time processing units and RISC-V soft-cores on FPGA. Experimental results on real hardware show the benefits of the solution, including enabling the seamless launch of virtual machines on different ISAs and extending spatial/temporal isolation to heterogenous cores with enhanced regulation policies.

Semantic Web: Past, Present, and Future

Authors: Ansgar Scherp, Gerd Groener, Petr Škoda, Katja Hose, and Maria-Esther Vidal

Published in: TGDK, Volume 2, Issue 1 (2024): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge - Part 2. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 2, Issue 1

Abstract
Ever since the vision was formulated, the Semantic Web has inspired many generations of innovations. Semantic technologies have been used to share vast amounts of information on the Web, enhance them with semantics to give them meaning, and enable inference and reasoning on them. Throughout the years, semantic technologies, and in particular knowledge graphs, have been used in search engines, data integration, enterprise settings, and machine learning. In this paper, we recap the classical concepts and foundations of the Semantic Web as well as modern and recent concepts and applications, building upon these foundations. The classical topics we cover include knowledge representation, creating and validating knowledge on the Web, reasoning and linking, and distributed querying. We enhance this classical view of the so-called "Semantic Web Layer Cake" with an update of recent concepts that include provenance, security and trust, as well as a discussion of practical impacts from industry-led contributions. We conclude with an outlook on the future directions of the Semantic Web. This is a living document.

Traveling Repairperson, Unrelated Machines, and Other Stories About Average Completion Times

Authors: Marcin Bienkowski, Artur Kraska, and Hsiang-Hsuan Liu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 198, 48th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2021)

Abstract
We present a unified framework for minimizing average completion time for many seemingly disparate online scheduling problems, such as the traveling repairperson problems (TRP), dial-a-ride problems (DARP), and scheduling on unrelated machines. We construct a simple algorithm that handles all these scheduling problems, by computing and later executing auxiliary schedules, each optimizing a certain function on already seen prefix of the input. The optimized function resembles a prize-collecting variant of the original scheduling problem. By a careful analysis of the interplay between these auxiliary schedules, and later employing the resulting inequalities in a factor-revealing linear program, we obtain improved bounds on the competitive ratio for all these scheduling problems. In particular, our techniques yield a 4-competitive deterministic algorithm for all previously studied variants of online TRP and DARP, and a 3-competitive one for the scheduling on unrelated machines (also with precedence constraints). This improves over currently best ratios for these problems that are 5.14 and 4, respectively. We also show how to use randomization to further reduce the competitive ratios to 1+2/ln 3 < 2.821 and 1+1/ln 2 < 2.443, respectively. The randomized bounds also substantially improve the current state of the art. Our upper bound for DARP contradicts the lower bound of 3 given by Fink et al. (Inf. Process. Lett. 2009); we pinpoint a flaw in their proof.

An Improved Online Algorithm for the Traveling Repairperson Problem on a Line

Authors: Marcin Bienkowski and Hsiang-Hsuan Liu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 138, 44th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2019)

Abstract
In the online variant of the traveling repairperson problem (TRP), requests arrive in time at points of a metric space X and must be eventually visited by a server. The server starts at a designated point of X and travels at most at unit speed. Each request has a given weight and once the server visits its position, the request is considered serviced; we call such time completion time of the request. The goal is to minimize the weighted sum of completion times of all requests. In this paper, we give a 5.429-competitive deterministic algorithm for line metrics improving over 5.829-competitive solution by Krumke et al. (TCS 2003). Our result is obtained by modifying the schedule by serving requests that are close to the origin first. To compute the competitive ratio of our approach, we use a charging scheme, and later evaluate its properties using a factor-revealing linear program which upper-bounds the competitive ratio.

Optimal Nonpreemptive Scheduling in a Smart Grid Model

Authors: Fu-Hong Liu, Hsiang-Hsuan Liu, and Prudence W. H. Wong

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 64, 27th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2016)

Abstract
We study a scheduling problem arising in demand response management in smart grid. Consumers send in power requests with a flexible feasible time interval during which their requests can be served. The grid controller, upon receiving power requests, schedules each request within the specified interval. The electricity cost is measured by a convex function of the load in each timeslot. The objective is to schedule all requests with the minimum total electricity cost. Previous work has studied cases where jobs have unit power requirement and unit duration. We extend the study to arbitrary power requirement and duration, which has been shown to be NP-hard. We give the first online algorithm for the general problem, and prove that the worst case competitive ratio is asymptotically optimal. We also prove that the problem is fixed parameter tractable. Due to space limit, the missing proofs are presented in the full paper.
