Applications in many domains require processing moving object trajectories. In this work, we focus on a trajectory similarity search that finds all trajectories within a given distance of a query trajectory over a time interval, which we call the distance threshold similarity search. We develop three indexing strategies with spatial, temporal and spatiotemporal selectivity for the GPU that differ significantly from indexes suitable for the CPU, and show the conditions under which each index achieves good performance. Furthermore, we show that the GPU implementations outperform multithreaded CPU implementations in a range of experimental scenarios, making the GPU an attractive technology for processing moving object trajectories. We test our implementations on two synthetic and one real-world dataset of a galaxy merger.

In modern application areas for software systems --- like eHealth, the Internet-of-Things, and Edge Computing --- data is encoded in heterogeneous, tree-shaped data-formats, it must be processed in real-time, and it must be ephemeral, i.e., not persi st in the system. While it is preferable to use a query language to express complex data-handling logic, their typical execution engine, a database external from the main application, is unfit in scenarios of ephemeral data-handling. A better option is represented by integrated query frameworks, which benefit from existing development support tools (e.g., syntax and type checkers) and execute within the application memory. In this paper, we propose one such framework that, for the first time, targets tree-shaped, document-oriented queries. We formalise an instantiation of MQuery, a sound variant of the widely-used MongoDB query language, which we implemented in the Jolie language. Jolie programs are microservices, the building blocks of modern software systems. Moreover, since Jolie supports native tree data-structures and automatic management of heterogeneous data-encodings, we can provide a uniform way to use MQuery on any data-format supported by the language. We present a non-trivial use case from eHealth, use it to concretely evaluate our model, and to illustrate our formalism.
Internet supercomputing is an approach to solving partitionable, computation-intensive problems by harnessing the power of a vast number of interconnected computers. For the problem of using network supercomputing to perform a large collection of ind ependent tasks, prior work introduced a decentralized approach and provided randomized synchronous algorithms that perform all tasks correctly with high probability, while dealing with misbehaving or crash-prone processors. The main weaknesses of existing algorithms is that they assume either that the emph{average} probability of a non-crashed processor returning incorrect results is inferior to $frac{1}{2}$, or that the probability of returning incorrect results is known to emph{each} processor. Here we present a randomized synchronous distributed algorithm that tightly estimates the probability of each processor returning correct results. Starting with the set $P$ of $n$ processors, let $F$ be the set of processors that crash. Our algorithm estimates the probability $p_i$ of returning a correct result for each processor $i in P-F$, making the estimates available to all these processors. The estimation is based on the $(epsilon, delta)$-approximation, where each estimated probability $tilde{p_i}$ of $p_i$ obeys the bound ${sf Pr}[p_i(1-epsilon) leq tilde{p_i} leq p_i(1+epsilon)] > 1 - delta$, for any constants $delta >0$ and $epsilon >0$ chosen by the user. An important aspect of this algorithm is that each processor terminates without global coordination. We assess the efficiency of the algorithm in three adversarial models as follows. For the model where the number of non-crashed processors $|P-F|$ is linearly bounded the time complexity $T(n)$ of the algorithm is $Theta(log{n})$, work complexity $W(n)$ is $Theta(nlog{n})$, and message complexity $M(n)$ is $Theta(nlog^2n)$.
In this paper we describe the research and development activities in the Center for Efficient Exascale Discretization within the US Exascale Computing Project, targeting state-of-the-art high-order finite-element algorithms for high-order application s on GPU-accelerated platforms. We discuss the GPU developments in several components of the CEED software stack, including the libCEED, MAGMA, MFEM, libParanumal, and Nek projects. We report performance and capability improvements in several CEED-enabled applications on both NVIDIA and AMD GPU systems.
Low-latency online services have strict Service Level Objectives (SLOs) that require datacenter systems to support high throughput at microsecond-scale tail latency. Dataplane operating systems have been designed to scale up multi-core servers with m inimal overhead for such SLOs. However, as application demands continue to increase, scaling up is not enough, and serving larger demands requires these systems to scale out to multiple servers in a rack. We present RackSched, the first rack-level microsecond-scale scheduler that provides the abstraction of a rack-scale computer (i.e., a huge server with hundreds to thousands of cores) to an external service with network-system co-design. The core of RackSched is a two-layer scheduling framework that integrates inter-server scheduling in the top-of-rack (ToR) switch with intra-server scheduling in each server. We use a combination of analytical results and simulations to show that it provides near-optimal performance as centralized scheduling policies, and is robust for both low-dispersion and high-dispersion workloads. We design a custom switch data plane for the inter-server scheduler, which realizes power-of-k-choices, ensures request affinity, and tracks server loads accurately and efficiently. We implement a RackSched prototype on a cluster of commodity servers connected by a Barefoot Tofino switch. End-to-end experiments on a twelve-server testbed show that RackSched improves the throughput by up to 1.44x, and scales out the throughput near linearly, while maintaining the same tail latency as one server until the system is saturated.
Scientific workflows are a cornerstone of modern scientific computing. They are used to describe complex computational applications that require efficient and robust management of large volumes of data, which are typically stored/processed at heterog eneous, distributed resources. The workflow research and development community has employed a number of methods for the quantitative evaluation of existing and novel workflow algorithms and systems. In particular, a common approach is to simulate workflow executions. In previous work, we have presented a collection of tools that have been used for aiding research and development activities in the Pegasus project, and that have been adopted by others for conducting workflow research. Despite their popularity, there are several shortcomings that prevent easy adoption, maintenance, and consistency with the evolving structures and computational requirements of production workflows. In this work, we present WorkflowHub, a community framework that provides a collection of tools for analyzing workflow execution traces, producing realistic synthetic workflow traces, and simulating workflow executions. We demonstrate the realism of the generated synthetic traces by comparing simulated executions of these traces with actual workflow executions. We also contrast these results with those obtained when using the previously available collection of tools. We find that our framework not only can be used to generate representative synthetic workflow traces (i.e., with workflow structures and task characteristics distributions that resembles those in traces obtained from real-world workflow executions), but can also generate representative workflow traces at larger scales than that of available workflow traces.
