Accio: Rethinking OS-Architecture Co-Design for Next-Gen I/O

Authors: Amirmohammad Nazari, Rajit Manohar, and Robert Soulé

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 139, 1st New Ideas in Networked Systems (NINeS 2026)

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel software/hardware design to improve I/O performance while maintaining existing POSIX-standard APIs. Our approach stands in contrast to existing kernel-bypass strategies that improve performance at the expense of abandoning familiar programming abstractions. Our key insight is that navigating the performance-functionality trade-off requires changes to the processor; it cannot be done without support of the CPU micro-architecture. Our design, called Accio, includes: dedicated hardware for interrupt management, a hardware assist for thread scheduling, tables in hardware that manage I/O state, and modifications to the operating system to support the new hardware. Our evaluation demonstrates that Accio saturates the bus bandwidth, reduces CPU usage by up to 66% compared to state-of-the-art kernel-bypass systems, and reduces latency to 1/12th of that of the Linux kernel, matching that of kernel-bypass systems.

Geovicla: Automated Classification of Interactive Web-Based Geovisualizations

Authors: Phil Hüffer, Auriol Degbelo, and Benjamin Risse

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 346, 13th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2025)

Abstract
The exponential growth of interactive geovisualizations on the Web has underscored the need for automated techniques to enhance their findability. In this paper, we present the Geovicla dataset (2.5K instances), constructed through the harvesting and manual labelling of webpages from a broad range of domains. The webpages are categorized into three groups: "interactive visualisation", "interactive geovisualisation" and "`no interactive visualisation". Using this dataset, we compared three approaches for interactive (geo)visualization classification: (i) a heuristic-based approach (i.e. using manually derived rules), (ii) a feature-engineering approach (i.e. hand-crafted feature vectors combined with machine learning classifiers) and (iii) an embedding-based approach (i.e. automatically generated large language model (LLM) embeddings with machine learning classifiers). The results indicate that LLM embeddings, when used in conjunction with a multilayer perceptron, form a promising combination, achieving up to 74% accuracy for multiclass classification and 75% for binary classification. The dataset and the insights gained from our empirical comparison offer valuable resources for GIScience researchers aiming to enhance the discoverability of interactive geovisualizations.

Robust and Fast Blockchain State Synchronization

Authors: Enrique Fynn, Ethan Buchman, Zarko Milosevic, Robert Soulé, and Fernando Pedone

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 253, 26th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2022)

Abstract
State synchronization, the process by which a new or recovering peer catches up with the state of other operational peers, is critical to the operation of blockchain-based systems. Existing approaches to state synchronization typically involve downloading snapshots of system state. Such approaches introduce an attack vector from malicious peers that can significantly degrade performance. Moreover, the process of creating snapshots leads to performance hiccups. This paper presents a technique for peers to catch up with operational peers without trusting any particular peer and gracefully recover from misbehavior during the process. We have integrated our design into a production blockchain middleware. Our evaluation shows that during operation, the transaction throughput is consistently higher without pauses for snapshot construction. Moreover, the time it takes for a new peer to join the blockchain is halved, while at the same time tolerating Byzantine peers.
