Gradecast is a simple three-round algorithm presented by Feldman and Micali. The current work presents a very simple algorithm that utilized Gradecast to achieve Byzantine agreement. Two small variations of the presented algorithm lead to improved algorithms for solving the Approximate agreement problem and the Multi-consensus problem. An optimal approximate agreement algorithm was presented by Fekete, which supports up to 1/4 n Byzantine nodes and has message complexity of O(n^k), where n is the number of nodes and k is the number of rounds. Our solution to the approximate agreement problem is optimal, simple and reduces the message complexity to O(k * n^3), while supporting up to 1/3 n Byzantine nodes. Multi consensus was first presented by Bar-Noy et al. It consists of consecutive executions of l Byzantine consensuses. Bar-Noy et al., show an optimal amortized solution to this problem, assuming that all nodes start each consensus instance at the same time, a property that cannot be guaranteed with early stopping. Our solution is simpler, preserves round complexity optimality, allows early stopping and does not require synchronized starts of the consensus instances.

Non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) offers byte-addressable persistence at speeds comparable to DRAM. However, with caches remaining volatile, automatic cache evictions can reorder updates to memory, potentially leaving persistent memory in an
inconsistent state upon a system crash. Flush and fence instructions can be used to force ordering among updates, but are expensive. This has motivated significant work studying how to write correct and efficient persistent programs for NVRAM. In this paper, we present FliT, a C++ library that facilitates writing efficient persistent code. Using the librarys default mode makes any linearizable data structure durable with minimal changes to the code. FliT avoids many redundant flush instructions by using a novel algorithm to track dirty cache lines. The FliT library also allows for extra optimizations, but achieves good performance even in its default setting. To describe the FliT librarys capabilities and guarantees, we define a persistent programming interface, called the P-V Interface, which FliT implements. The P-V Interface captures the expected behavior of code in which some instructions effects are persisted and some are not. We show that the interface captures the desired semantics of many practical algorithms in the literature. We apply the FliT library to four different persistent data structures, and show that across several workloads, persistence implementations, and data structure sizes, the FliT library always improves operation throughput, by at least $2.1times$ over a naive implementation in all but one workload.
A memory leak in an application deployed on the cloud can affect the availability and reliability of the application. Therefore, identifying and ultimately resolve it quickly is highly important. However, in the production environment running on the
cloud, memory leak detection is a challenge without the knowledge of the application or its internal object allocation details. This paper addresses this challenge of detection of memory leaks in cloud-based infrastructure without having any internal knowledge by introducing two novel machine learning-based algorithms: Linear Backward Regression (LBR) and Precog and, their two variants: Linear Backward Regression with Change Points Detection (LBRCPD) and Precog with Maximum Filteration (PrecogMF). These algorithms only use one metric i.e the systems memory utilization on which the application is deployed for detection of a memory leak. The developed algorithms accuracy was tested on 60 virtual machines manually labeled memory utilization data and it was found that the proposed PrecogMF algorithm achieves the highest accuracy score of 85%. The same algorithm also achieves this by decreasing the overall compute time by 80% when compared to LBRs compute time. The paper also presents the different memory leak patterns found in the various memory leak applications and are further classified into different classes based on their visual representation.
In computer networks, participants may cooperate in processing tasks, so that loads are balanced among them. We present local distributed algorithms that (repeatedly) use local imbalance criteria to transfer loads concurrently across the participants
of the system, iterating until all loads are balanced. Our algorithms are based on a short local deal-agreement communication of proposal/deal, based on the neighborhood loads. They converge monotonically, always providing a better state as the execution progresses. Besides, our algorithms avoid making loads temporarily negative. Thus, they may be considered anytime ones, in the sense that they can be stopped at any time during the execution. We show that our synchronous load balancing algorithms achieve $epsilon$-Balanced state for the continuous setting and 1-Balanced state for the discrete setting in all graphs, within $O(n D log(n K/epsilon))$ and $O(n D log(n K/D) + n D^2)$ time, respectively, where $n$ is the number of nodes, $K$ is the initial discrepancy, $D$ is the graph diameter, and $epsilon$ is the final discrepancy. Our other monotonic synchronous and asynchronous algorithms for the discrete setting are generalizations of the first presented algorithms, where load balancing is performed concurrently with more than one neighbor. These algorithms arrive at a 1-Balanced state in time $O(n K^2)$ in general graphs, but have a potential to be faster as the loads are balanced among all neighbors, rather than with only one; we describe a scenario that demonstrates the potential for a fast ($O(1)$) convergence. Our asynchronous algorithm avoids the need to wait for the slowest participants activity prior to making the next load balancing steps as synchronous settings restrict. We also introduce a self-stabilizing version of our asynchronous algorithm.
As a promising solution to boost the performance of distance-related algorithms (e.g., K-means and KNN), FPGA-based acceleration attracts lots of attention, but also comes with numerous challenges. In this work, we propose AccD, a compiler-based fram
ework for accelerating distance-related algorithms on CPU-FPGA platforms. Specifically, AccD provides a Domain-specific Language to unify distance-related algorithms effectively, and an optimizing compiler to reconcile the benefits from both the algorithmic optimization on the CPU and the hardware acceleration on the FPGA. The output of AccD is a high-performance and power-efficient design that can be easily synthesized and deployed on mainstream CPU-FPGA platforms. Intensive experiments show that AccD designs achieve 31.42x speedup and 99.63x better energy efficiency on average over standard CPU-based implementations.
Events in distributed systems include sending or receiving messages, or changing some state in a node. Not all events are related, but some events can cause and influence how other, later events, occur. For instance, a reply to a received mail messag
e is influenced by that message, and maybe by other prior messages also received. This article brings an introduction to classic causality tracking mechanisms and covers some more recent developments. The presentation is supported by a new graphical notation that allows an intuitive interpretation of the causality relations described.
