Ozone: Fully Out-of-Order Choreographies

Authors: Dan Plyukhin, Marco Peressotti, and Fabrizio Montesi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 313, 38th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2024)

Abstract
Choreographic programming is a paradigm for writing distributed applications. It allows programmers to write a single program, called a choreography, that can be compiled to generate correct implementations of each process in the application. Although choreographies provide good static guarantees, they can exhibit high latency when messages or processes are delayed. This is because processes in a choreography typically execute in a fixed, deterministic order, and cannot adapt to the order that messages arrive at runtime. In non-choreographic code, programmers can address this problem by allowing processes to execute out of order - for instance by using futures or reactive programming. However, in choreographic code, out-of-order process execution can lead to serious and subtle bugs, called communication integrity violations (CIVs). In this paper, we develop a model of choreographic programming for out-of-order processes that guarantees absence of CIVs and deadlocks. As an application of our approach, we also introduce an API for safe non-blocking communication via futures in the choreographic programming language Choral. The API allows processes to execute out of order, participate in multiple choreographies concurrently, and to handle unordered data messages. We provide an illustrative evaluation of our API, showing that out-of-order execution can reduce latency and increase throughput by overlapping communication with computation.

Completeness of Asynchronous Session Tree Subtyping in Coq

Authors: Burak Ekici and Nobuko Yoshida

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 309, 15th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2024)

Abstract
Multiparty session types (MPST) serve as a foundational framework for formally specifying and verifying message passing protocols. Asynchronous subtyping in MPST allows for typing optimised programs preserving type safety and deadlock freedom under asynchronous interactions where the message order is preserved and sending is non-blocking. The optimisation is obtained by message reordering, which allows for sending messages earlier or receiving them later. Sound subtyping algorithms have been extensively studied and implemented as part of various programming languages and tools including C, Rust and C-MPI. However, formalising all such permutations under sequencing, selection, branching and recursion in session types is an intricate task. Additionally, checking asynchronous subtyping has been proven to be undecidable. This paper introduces the first formalisation of asynchronous subtyping in MPST within the Coq proof assistant. We first decompose session types into session trees that do not involve branching and selection, and then establish a coinductive refinement relation over them to govern subtyping. To showcase our formalisation, we prove example subtyping schemas that appear in the literature, all of which cannot be verified, at the same time, by any of the existing decidable sound algorithms. Additionally, we take the (inductive) negation of the refinement relation from a prior work by Ghilezan et al. [Ghilezan et al., 2023] and re-implement it, significantly reducing the number of rules (from eighteen to eight). We establish the completeness of subtyping with respect to its negation in Coq, addressing the issues concerning the negation rules outlined in the previous work [Ghilezan et al., 2023]. In the formalisation, we use the greatest fixed point of the least fixed point technique, facilitated by the paco library, to define coinductive predicates. We employ parametrised coinduction to prove their properties. The formalisation consists of roughly 10K lines of Coq code, accessible at: https://github.com/ekiciburak/sessionTreeST/tree/itp2024.

Brief Announcement: BatchBoost: Universal Batching for Concurrent Data Structures

Authors: Vitaly Aksenov, Michael Anoprenko, Alexander Fedorov, and Michael Spear

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 281, 37th International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2023)

Abstract
Batching is a technique that stores multiple keys/values in each node of a data structure. In sequential search data structures, batching reduces latency by reducing the number of cache misses and shortening the chain of pointers to dereference. Applying batching to concurrent data structures is challenging, because it is difficult to maintain the search property and keep contention low in the presence of batching. In this paper, we present a general methodology for leveraging batching in concurrent search data structures, called BatchBoost. BatchBoost builds a search data structure from distinct "data" and "index" layers. The data layer’s purpose is to store a batch of key/value pairs in each of its nodes. The index layer uses an unmodified concurrent search data structure to route operations to a position in the data layer that is "close" to where the corresponding key should exist. The requirements on the index and data layers are low: with minimal effort, we were able to compose three highly scalable concurrent search data structures based on three original data structures as the index layers with a batched version of the Lazy List as the data layer. The resulting BatchBoost data structures provide significant performance improvements over their original counterparts.

NUMASK: High Performance Scalable Skip List for NUMA

Authors: Henry Daly, Ahmed Hassan, Michael F. Spear, and Roberto Palmieri

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 121, 32nd International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC 2018)

Abstract
This paper presents NUMASK, a skip list data structure specifically designed to exploit the characteristics of Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architectures to improve performance. NUMASK deploys an architecture around a concurrent skip list so that all metadata accesses (e.g., traversals of the skip list index levels) read and write memory blocks allocated in the NUMA zone where the thread is executing. To the best of our knowledge, NUMASK is the first NUMA-aware skip list design that goes beyond merely limiting the performance penalties introduced by NUMA, and leverages the NUMA architecture to outperform state-of-the-art concurrent high-performance implementations. We tested NUMASK on a four-socket server. Its performance scales for both read-intensive and write-intensive workloads (tested up to 160 threads). In write-intensive workload, NUMASK shows speedups over competitors in the range of 2x to 16x.

Extending Transactional Memory with Atomic Deferral

Authors: Tingzhe Zhou, Victor Luchangco, and Michael Spear

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

Abstract
This paper introduces atomic deferral, an extension to TM that allows programmers to move long-running or irrevocable operations out of a transaction while maintaining serializability: the transaction and its de- ferred operation appear to execute atomically from the perspective of other transactions. Thus, program- mers can adapt lock-based programs to exploit TM with relatively little effort and without sacrificing scalability by atomically deferring the problematic operations. We demonstrate this with several use cases for atomic deferral, as well as an in-depth analysis of its use on the PARSEC dedup benchmark, where we show that atomic deferral enables TM to be competitive with well-designed lock-based code.
