Bit-Array-Based Alternatives to HyperLogLog

Authors: Svante Janson, Jérémie Lumbroso, and Robert Sedgewick

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 302, 35th International Conference on Probabilistic, Combinatorial and Asymptotic Methods for the Analysis of Algorithms (AofA 2024)


Abstract
We present a family of algorithms for the problem of estimating the number of distinct items in an input stream that are simple to implement and are appropriate for practical applications. Our algorithms are a logical extension of the series of algorithms developed by Flajolet and his coauthors starting in 1983 that culminated in the widely used HyperLogLog algorithm. These algorithms divide the input stream into M substreams and lead to a time-accuracy tradeoff where a constant number of bits per substream are saved to achieve a relative accuracy proportional to 1/√M. Our algorithms use just one or two bits per substream. Their effectiveness is demonstrated by a proof of approximate normality, with explicit expressions for standard errors that inform parameter settings and allow proper quantitative comparisons with other methods. Hypotheses about performance are validated through experiments using a realistic input stream, with the conclusion that our algorithms are more accurate than HyperLogLog when using the same amount of memory, and they use two-thirds as much memory as HyperLogLog to achieve a given accuracy.

Barcode Selection and Layout Optimization in Spatial Transcriptomics

Authors: Frederik L. Jatzkowski, Antonia Schmidt, Robert Mank, Steffen Schüler, and Matthias Müller-Hannemann

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


Abstract
An important special case of the quadratic assignment problem arises in the synthesis of DNA microarrays for high-resolution spatial transcriptomics. The task is to select a suitable subset from a set of barcodes, i. e. short DNA strings that serve as unique identifiers, and to assign the selected barcodes to positions on a two-dimensional array in such a way that a position-dependent cost function is minimized. A typical microarray with dimensions of 768×1024 requires 786,432 many barcodes to be placed, leading to very challenging large-scale combinatorial optimization problems. The general quadratic assignment problem is well-known for its hardness, both in theory and in practice. It turns out that this also holds for the special case of the barcode layout problem. We show that the problem is even hard to approximate: It is MaxSNP-hard. An ILP formulation theoretically allows the computation of optimal results, but it is only applicable for tiny instances. Therefore, we have developed layout constructing and improving heuristics with the aim of computing near-optimal solutions for instances of realistic size. These include a sorting-based algorithm, a greedy algorithm, 2-OPT-based local search and a genetic algorithm. To assess the quality of the results, we compare the generated solutions with the expected cost of a random layout and with lower bounds. A combination of the greedy algorithm and 2-OPT local search produces the most promising results in terms of both quality and runtime. Solutions to large-scale instances with arrays of dimension 768×1024 show a 37% reduction in cost over a random solution and can be computed in about 3 minutes. Since the universe of suitable barcodes is much larger than the number of barcodes needed, this can be exploited. Experiments with different surpluses of barcodes show that a significant improvement in layout quality can be achieved at the cost of a reasonable increase in runtime. Another interesting finding is that the restriction of the barcode design space by biochemical constraints is actually beneficial for the overall layout cost.

SlackCheck: A Linux Kernel Module to Verify Temporal Properties of a Task Schedule

Authors: Michele Castrovilli and Enrico Bini

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


Abstract
The Linux Kernel offers several scheduling classes. From SCHED_DEADLINE down to SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR and SCHED_OTHER, the scheduling classes can provide different responsiveness to very diverse user workloads. Still, Linux does not offer any mechanism to take some action upon the violation of temporal constraints at runtime. The lack of such a feature is also due to the difficulty of extending the established notion of deadline to workloads which are not releasing periodic/sporadic jobs. Exploiting the notion of supply functions for any resource schedule, we implemented SlackCheck, a kernel module which is capable to verify at runtime if a given task is assigned a desired amount of resource or not. SlackCheck adds a constant-time check at every scheduling decision and leverages the recent availability of a Runtime Verification engine in the kernel.

Reachability-Based Response-Time Analysis of Preemptive Tasks Under Global Scheduling

Authors: Pourya Gohari, Jeroen Voeten, and Mitra Nasri

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


Abstract
Global scheduling reduces the average response times as it can use the available computing cores more efficiently for scheduling ready tasks. However, this flexibility poses challenges in accurately quantifying interference scenarios, often resulting in either conservative response-time analyses or scalability issues. In this paper, we present a new response-time analysis for preemptive periodic tasks (or job sets) subject to release jitter under global job-level fixed-priority (JLFP) scheduling. Our analysis relies on the notion of schedule-abstraction graph (SAG), a reachability-based response-time analysis known for its potential accuracy and efficiency. Up to this point, SAG was limited to non-preemptive tasks due to the complexity of handling preemption when the number of preemptions and the moments they occur are not known beforehand. In this paper, we introduce the concept of time partitions and demonstrate how it facilitates the extension of SAG for preemptive tasks. Moreover, our paper provides the first response-time analysis for the global EDF(k) policy - a JLFP scheduling policy introduced in 2003 to address the Dhall’s effect. Our experiments show that our analysis is significantly more accurate compared to the state-of-the-art analyses. For example, we identify 12 times more schedulable task sets than existing tests for the global EDF policy (e.g., for systems with 6 to 16 tasks, 70% utilization, and 4 cores) with an average runtime of 30 minutes. We show that EDF(k) outperforms global RM and EDF by scheduling on average 24.9% more task sets (e.g., for systems with 2 to 10 cores and 70% utilization). Moreover, for the first time, we show that global JLFP scheduling policies (particularly, global EDF(k)) are able to schedule task sets that are not schedulable using well-known partitioning heuristics.

Optimizing Per-Core Priorities to Minimize End-To-End Latencies

Authors: Francesco Paladino, Alessandro Biondi, Enrico Bini, and Paolo Pazzaglia

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


Abstract
Logical Execution Time (LET) allows decoupling the schedule of real-time periodic tasks from their communication, with the advantage of isolating the communication pattern from the variability of the schedule. However, when such tasks are organized in chains, the usage of LET at the task level does not necessarily transfer the same LET properties to the chain level. In this paper, we extend a LET-like model from tasks to chains spanning over multiple cores. We leverage the designed constant latency chains to optimize per-core priority assignment. Finally, we also provide a set of heuristic algorithms, that are compared in a large-scale experimental evaluation.

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.

Response Time Analysis for Fixed-Priority Preemptive Uniform Multiprocessor Systems

Authors: Binqi Sun, Tomasz Kloda, and Marco Caccamo

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


Abstract
We present a response time analysis for global fixed-priority preemptive scheduling of constrained-deadline tasks upon a uniform multiprocessor where each processor can be characterized by a different speed. A fixed-priority scheduler assigns the jobs with the highest priorities to the fastest processors. Since determining whether all tasks can meet their deadlines is generally intractable even with identical processors, we propose two sufficient schedulability tests that calculate upper bounds on the task’s worst-case response time within polynomial and pseudo-polynomial time. The proposed tests leverage the linear programming model to upper bound the interference of the higher-priority tasks. Furthermore, we identify specific conditions and platforms upon which the problem can be solved more efficiently within linear time. These formulations are used to iteratively evaluate and refine possible solutions until a safe upper bound on the task’s worst-case response time is found. Additionally, we demonstrate that, with specific minor modifications, the proposed tests are compatible with Audsley’s optimal priority assignment. Experimental evaluations performed on synthetic task sets show that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

High-Accuracy Multicommodity Flows via Iterative Refinement

Authors: Li Chen and Mingquan Ye

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)


Abstract
The multicommodity flow problem is a classic problem in network flow and combinatorial optimization, with applications in transportation, communication, logistics, and supply chain management, etc. Existing algorithms often focus on low-accuracy approximate solutions, while high-accuracy algorithms typically rely on general linear program solvers. In this paper, we present efficient high-accuracy algorithms for a broad family of multicommodity flow problems on undirected graphs, demonstrating improved running times compared to general linear program solvers. Our main result shows that we can solve the 𝓁_{q, p}-norm multicommodity flow problem to a (1 + ε) approximation in time O_{q, p}(m^{1+o(1)} k² log(1/ε)), where k is the number of commodities, and O_{q, p}(⋅) hides constants depending only on q or p. As q and p approach to 1 and ∞ respectively, 𝓁_{q, p}-norm flow tends to maximum concurrent flow. We introduce the first iterative refinement framework for 𝓁_{q, p}-norm minimization problems, which reduces the problem to solving a series of decomposable residual problems. In the case of k-commodity flow, each residual problem can be decomposed into k single commodity convex flow problems, each of which can be solved in almost-linear time. As many classical variants of multicommodity flows were shown to be complete for linear programs in the high-accuracy regime [Ding-Kyng-Zhang, ICALP'22], our result provides new directions for studying more efficient high-accuracy multicommodity flow algorithms.

On the Streaming Complexity of Expander Decomposition

Authors: Yu Chen, Michael Kapralov, Mikhail Makarov, and Davide Mazzali

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)


Abstract
In this paper we study the problem of finding (ε, ϕ)-expander decompositions of a graph in the streaming model, in particular for dynamic streams of edge insertions and deletions. The goal is to partition the vertex set so that every component induces a ϕ-expander, while the number of inter-cluster edges is only an ε fraction of the total volume. It was recently shown that there exists a simple algorithm to construct a (O(ϕ log n), ϕ)-expander decomposition of an n-vertex graph using Õ(n/ϕ²) bits of space [Filtser, Kapralov, Makarov, ITCS'23]. This result calls for understanding the extent to which a dependence in space on the sparsity parameter ϕ is inherent. We move towards answering this question on two fronts. We prove that a (O(ϕ log n), ϕ)-expander decomposition can be found using Õ(n) space, for every ϕ. At the core of our result is the first streaming algorithm for computing boundary-linked expander decompositions, a recently introduced strengthening of the classical notion [Goranci et al., SODA'21]. The key advantage is that a classical sparsifier [Fung et al., STOC'11], with size independent of ϕ, preserves the cuts inside the clusters of a boundary-linked expander decomposition within a multiplicative error. Notable algorithmic applications use sequences of expander decompositions, in particular one often repeatedly computes a decomposition of the subgraph induced by the inter-cluster edges (e.g., the seminal work of Spielman and Teng on spectral sparsifiers [Spielman, Teng, SIAM Journal of Computing 40(4)], or the recent maximum flow breakthrough [Chen et al., FOCS'22], among others). We prove that any streaming algorithm that computes a sequence of (O(ϕ log n), ϕ)-expander decompositions requires Ω̃(n/ϕ) bits of space, even in insertion only streams.

Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the question of whether the electrical flow routing is a good oblivious routing scheme on an m-edge graph G = (V, E) that is a Φ-expander, i.e. where |∂ S| ≥ Φ ⋅ vol(S) for every S ⊆ V, vol(S) ≤ vol(V)/2. Beyond its simplicity and structural importance, this question is well-motivated by the current state-of-the-art of fast algorithms for 𝓁_∞ oblivious routings that reduce to the expander-case which is in turn solved by electrical flow routing. Our main result proves that the electrical routing is an O(Φ^{-1} log m)-competitive oblivious routing in the 𝓁₁- and 𝓁_∞-norms. We further observe that the oblivious routing is O(log² m)-competitive in the 𝓁₂-norm and, in fact, O(log m)-competitive if 𝓁₂-localization is O(log m) which is widely believed. Using these three upper bounds, we can smoothly interpolate to obtain upper bounds for every p ∈ [2, ∞] and q given by 1/p + 1/q = 1. Assuming 𝓁₂-localization in O(log m), we obtain that in 𝓁_p and 𝓁_q, the electrical oblivious routing is O(Φ^{-(1-2/p)}log m) competitive. Using the currently known result for 𝓁₂-localization, this ratio deteriorates by at most a sublogarithmic factor for every p, q ≠ 2. We complement our upper bounds with lower bounds that show that the electrical routing for any such p and q is Ω(Φ^{-(1-2/p)} log m)-competitive. This renders our results in 𝓁₁ and 𝓁_∞ unconditionally tight up to constants, and the result in any 𝓁_p- and 𝓁_q-norm to be tight in case of 𝓁₂-localization in O(log m).

Better Decremental and Fully Dynamic Sensitivity Oracles for Subgraph Connectivity

Authors: Yaowei Long and Yunfan Wang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)


Abstract
We study the sensitivity oracles problem for subgraph connectivity in the decremental and fully dynamic settings. In the fully dynamic setting, we preprocess an n-vertices m-edges undirected graph G with n_{off} deactivated vertices initially and the others are activated. Then we receive a single update D ⊆ V(G) of size |D| = d ≤ d_{⋆}, representing vertices whose states will be switched. Finally, we get a sequence of queries, each of which asks the connectivity of two given vertices u and v in the activated subgraph. The decremental setting is a special case when there is no deactivated vertex initially, and it is also known as the vertex-failure connectivity oracles problem. We present a better deterministic vertex-failure connectivity oracle with Ô(d_{⋆}m) preprocessing time, Õ(m) space, Õ(d²) update time and O(d) query time, which improves the update time of the previous almost-optimal oracle [Long and Saranurak, 2022] from Ô(d²) to Õ(d²). We also present a better deterministic fully dynamic sensitivity oracle for subgraph connectivity with Ô(min{m(n_{off} + d_{⋆}),n^{ω}}) preprocessing time, Õ(min{m(n_{off} + d_{⋆}),n²}) space, Õ(d²) update time and O(d) query time, which significantly improves the update time of the state of the art [Bingbing Hu et al., 2023] from Õ(d⁴) to Õ(d²). Furthermore, our solution is even almost-optimal assuming popular fine-grained complexity conjectures.

Better Sparsifiers for Directed Eulerian Graphs

Authors: Sushant Sachdeva, Anvith Thudi, and Yibin Zhao

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)


Abstract
Spectral sparsification for directed Eulerian graphs is a key component in the design of fast algorithms for solving directed Laplacian linear systems. Directed Laplacian linear system solvers are crucial algorithmic primitives to fast computation of fundamental problems on random walks, such as computing stationary distributions, hitting and commute times, and personalized PageRank vectors. While spectral sparsification is well understood for undirected graphs and it is known that for every graph G, (1+ε)-sparsifiers with O(nε^{-2}) edges exist [Batson-Spielman-Srivastava, STOC '09] (which is optimal), the best known constructions of Eulerian sparsifiers require Ω(nε^{-2}log⁴ n) edges and are based on short-cycle decompositions [Chu et al., FOCS '18]. In this paper, we give improved constructions of Eulerian sparsifiers, specifically: 1) We show that for every directed Eulerian graph G→, there exists an Eulerian sparsifier with O(nε^{-2} log² n log²log n + nε^{-4/3}log^{8/3} n) edges. This result is based on combining short-cycle decompositions [Chu-Gao-Peng-Sachdeva-Sawlani-Wang, FOCS '18, SICOMP] and [Parter-Yogev, ICALP '19], with recent progress on the matrix Spencer conjecture [Bansal-Meka-Jiang, STOC '23]. 2) We give an improved analysis of the constructions based on short-cycle decompositions, giving an m^{1+δ}-time algorithm for any constant δ > 0 for constructing Eulerian sparsifiers with O(nε^{-2}log³ n) edges.

Current and Future Challenges in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 22282)

Authors: James P. Delgrande, Birte Glimm, Thomas Meyer, Miroslaw Truszczynski, and Frank Wolter

Published in: Dagstuhl Manifestos, Volume 10, Issue 1 (2024)


Abstract
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning is a central, longstanding, and active area of Artificial Intelligence. Over the years it has evolved significantly; more recently it has been challenged and complemented by research in areas such as machine learning and reasoning under uncertainty. In July 2022,sser a Dagstuhl Perspectives workshop was held on Knowledge Representation and Reasoning. The goal of the workshop was to describe the state of the art in the field, including its relation with other areas, its shortcomings and strengths, together with recommendations for future progress. We developed this manifesto based on the presentations, panels, working groups, and discussions that took place at the Dagstuhl Workshop. It is a declaration of our views on Knowledge Representation: its origins, goals, milestones, and current foci; its relation to other disciplines, especially to Artificial Intelligence; and on its challenges, along with key priorities for the next decade.

Survey
Towards Representing Processes and Reasoning with Process Descriptions on the Web

Authors: Andreas Harth, Tobias Käfer, Anisa Rula, Jean-Paul Calbimonte, Eduard Kamburjan, and Martin Giese

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
We work towards a vocabulary to represent processes and temporal logic specifications as graph-structured data. Different fields use incompatible terminologies for describing essentially the same process-related concepts. In addition, processes can be represented from different perspectives and levels of abstraction: both state-centric and event-centric perspectives offer distinct insights into the underlying processes. In this work, we strive to unify the representation of processes and related concepts by leveraging the power of knowledge graphs. We survey approaches to representing processes and reasoning with process descriptions from different fields and provide a selection of scenarios to help inform the scope of a unified representation of processes. We focus on processes that can be executed and observed via web interfaces. We propose to provide a representation designed to combine state-centric and event-centric perspectives while incorporating temporal querying and reasoning capabilities on temporal logic specifications. A standardised vocabulary and representation for processes and temporal specifications would contribute towards bridging the gap between the terminologies from different fields and fostering the broader application of methods involving temporal logics, such as formal verification and program synthesis.

Abstract
In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in applying AI technologies to implement complex data analytics over data streams. To this end, researchers in various fields have been organising a yearly event called the "Stream Reasoning Workshop" to share perspectives, challenges, and experiences around this topic. In this paper, the previous organisers of the workshops and other community members provide a summary of the main research results that have been discussed during the first six editions of the event. These results can be categorised into four main research areas: The first is concerned with the technological challenges related to handling large data streams. The second area aims at adapting and extending existing semantic technologies to data streams. The third and fourth areas focus on how to implement reasoning techniques, either considering deductive or inductive techniques, to extract new and valuable knowledge from the data in the stream. This summary is written not only to provide a crystallisation of the field, but also to point out distinctive traits of the stream reasoning community. Moreover, it also provides a foundation for future research by enumerating a list of use cases and open challenges, to stimulate others to join this exciting research area.
