Web applications frequently leverage resources made available by remote web servers. As resources are created, updated, deleted, or moved, these applications face challenges to remain in lockstep with the servers change dynamics. Several approaches exist to help meet this challenge for use cases where good enough synchronization is acceptable. But when strict resource coverage or low synchronization latency is required, commonly accepted Web-based solutions remain elusive. This paper details characteristics of an approach that aims at decreasing synchronization latency while maintaining desired levels of accuracy. The approach builds on pushing change notifications and pulling changed resources and it is explored with an experiment based on a DBpedia Live instance.

We propose a simple channel-allocation method based on tug-of-war (TOW) dynamics, combined with the time scheduling based on nonlinear oscillator synchronization to efficiently use of the space (channel) and time resources in wireless communications. This study demonstrates that synchronization groups, where each node selects a different channel, are non-uniformly distributed in phase space such that every distance between groups is larger than the area of influence. New type of self-organized spatiotemporal patterns can be formed for resource allocation according to channel rewards.
Supercomputers are complex systems producing vast quantities of performance data from multiple sources and of varying types. Performance data from each of the thousands of nodes in a supercomputer tracks multiple forms of storage, memory, networks, processors, and accelerators. Optimization of application performance is critical for cost effective usage of a supercomputer and requires efficient methods for effectively viewing performance data. The combination of supercomputing analytics and 3D gaming visualization enables real-time processing and visual data display of massive amounts of information that humans can process quickly with little training. Our system fully utilizes the capabilities of modern 3D gaming environments to create novel representations of computing hardware which intuitively represent the physical attributes of the supercomputer while displaying real-time alerts and component utilization. This system allows operators to quickly assess how the supercomputer is being used, gives users visibility into the resources they are consuming, and provides instructors new ways to interactively teach the computing architecture concepts necessary for efficient computing
A determinacy race occurs if two or more logically parallel instructions access the same memory location and at least one of them tries to modify its content. Races often lead to nondeterministic and incorrect program behavior. A data race is a special case of a determinacy race which can be eliminated by associating a mutual-exclusion lock or allowing atomic accesses to the memory location. However, such solutions can reduce parallelism by serializing all accesses to that location. For associative and commutative updates, reducers allow parallel race-free updates at the expense of using some extra space. We ask the following question. Given a fixed budget of extra space to mitigate the cost of races in a parallel program, which memory locations should be assigned reducers and how should the space be distributed among the reducers in order to minimize the overall running time? We argue that the races can be captured by a directed acyclic graph (DAG), with nodes representing memory cells and arcs representing read-write dependencies between cells. We then formulate our optimization problem on DAGs. We concentrate on a variation of this problem where space reuse among reducers is allowed by routing extra space along a source to sink path of the DAG and using it in the construction of reducers along the path. We consider two reducers and the corresponding duration functions (i.e., reduction time as a function of space budget). We generalize our race-avoiding space-time tradeoff problem to a discrete resource-time tradeoff problem with general non-increasing duration functions and resource reuse over paths. For general DAGs, the offline problem is strongly NP-hard under all three duration functions, and we give approximation algorithms. We also prove hardness of approximation for the general resource-time tradeoff problem and give a pseudo-polynomial time algorithm for series-parallel DAGs.
Many applications need up-to-date copies of collections of changing Web resources. Such synchronization is currently achieved using ad-hoc or proprietary solutions. We propose ResourceSync, a general Web resource synchronization protocol that leverages XML Sitemaps. It provides a set of capabilities that can be combined in a modular manner to meet local or community requirements. We report on work to implement this protocol for arXiv.org and also provide an experimental prototype for the English Wikipedia as well as a client API.
Ubers business is highly real-time in nature. PBs of data is continuously being collected from the end users such as Uber drivers, riders, restaurants, eaters and so on everyday. There is a lot of valuable information to be processed and many decisions must be made in seconds for a variety of use cases such as customer incentives, fraud detection, machine learning model prediction. In addition, there is an increasing need to expose this ability to different user categories, including engineers, data scientists, executives and operations personnel which adds to the complexity. In this paper, we present the overall architecture of the real-time data infrastructure and identify three scaling challenges that we need to continuously address for each component in the architecture. At Uber, we heavily rely on open source technologies for the key areas of the infrastructure. On top of those open-source software, we add significant improvements and customizations to make the open-source solutions fit in Ubers environment and bridge the gaps to meet Ubers unique scale and requirements. We then highlight several important use cases and show their real-time solutions and tradeoffs. Finally, we reflect on the lessons we learned as we built, operated and scaled these systems.
