This paper introduces a unified model of consistency and isolation that minimizes the gap between how these guarantees are defined and how they are perceived. Our approach is premised on a simple observation: applications view storage systems as black-boxes that transition through a series of states, a subset of which are observed by applications. For maximum clarity, isolation and consistency guarantees should be expressed as constraints on those states. Instead, these properties are currently expressed as constraints on operation histories that are not visible to the application. We show that adopting a state-based approach to expressing these guarantees brings forth several benefits. First, it makes it easier to focus on the anomalies that a given isolation or consistency level allows (and that applications must deal with), rather than those that it proscribes. Second, it unifies the often disparate theories of isolation and consistency and provides a structure for composing these guarantees. We leverage this modularity to apply to transactions (independently of the isolation level under which they execute) the equivalence between causal consistency and session guarantees that Chockler et al. had proved for single operations. Third, it brings clarity to the increasingly crowded field of proposed consistency and isolation properties by winnowing spurious distinctions: we find that the recently proposed parallel snapshot isolation introduced by Sovran et al. is in fact a specific implementation of an older guarantee, lazy consistency (or PL-2+), introduced by Adya et al.

By the CAP Theorem, a distributed data storage system can ensure either Consistency under Partition (CP) or Availability under Partition (AP), but not both. This has led to a split between CP databases, in which updates are synchronous, and AP databa
ses, where they are asynchronous. However, there is no inherent reason to treat all updates identically: simply, the system should be as available as possible, and synchronised just enough for the application to be correct. We offer a principled Just-Right Consistency approach to designing such applications, reconciling correctness with availability and performance, based on the following insights:(i) The Conflict-Free Replicated Data Type (CRDTs) data model supports asynchronous updates in an intuitive and principled way.(ii) Invariants involving joint or mutually-ordered updates are compatible with AP and can be guaranteed by Transactional Causal Consistency, the strongest consistency model that does not compromise availability. Regarding the remaining, CAP-sensitive invariants:(iii) For the common pattern of Bounded Counters, we provide encapsulated data type that is proven correct and is efficient; (iv) in the general case, static analysis can identify when synchronisation is not necessary for correctness.Our Antidote cloud database system supports CRDTs, Transactional Causal Consistency and the Bounded Counter data type. Support tools help design applications by static analysis and proof of CAP-sensitive invariants. This system supports industrial-grade applications and has been tested experimentally with hundreds of servers across several geo-distributed data centres.
For data-centric systems, provenance tracking is particularly important when the system is open and decentralised, such as the Web of Linked Data. In this paper, a concise but expressive calculus which models data updates is presented. The calculus i
s used to provide an operational semantics for a system where data and updates interact concurrently. The operational semantics of the calculus also tracks the provenance of data with respect to updates. This provides a new formal semantics extending provenance diagrams which takes into account the execution of processes in a concurrent setting. Moreover, a sound and complete model for the calculus based on ideals of series-parallel DAGs is provided. The notion of provenance introduced can be used as a subjective indicator of the quality of data in concurrent interacting systems.
Graphs are by nature unifying abstractions that can leverage interconnectedness to represent, explore, predict, and explain real- and digital-world phenomena. Although real users and consumers of graph instances and graph workloads understand these a
bstractions, future problems will require new abstractions and systems. What needs to happen in the next decade for big graph processing to continue to succeed?
Modern deep learning applications urge to push the model inference taking place at the edge devices for multiple reasons such as achieving shorter latency, relieving the burden of the network connecting to the cloud, and protecting user privacy. The
Convolutional Neural Network (emph{CNN}) is one of the most widely used model family in the applications. Given the high computational complexity of the CNN models, it is favorable to execute them on the integrated GPUs at the edge devices, which are ubiquitous and have more power and better energy efficiency than the accompanying CPUs. However, programming on integrated GPUs efficiently is challenging due to the variety of their architectures and programming interfaces. This paper proposes an end-to-end solution to execute CNN model inference on the integrated GPUs at the edge, which uses a unified IR to represent and optimize vision-specific operators on integrated GPUs from multiple vendors, as well as leverages machine learning-based scheduling search schemes to optimize computationally-intensive operators like convolution. Our solution even provides a fallback mechanism for operators not suitable or convenient to run on GPUs. The evaluation results suggest that compared to state-of-the-art solutions backed up by the vendor-provided high-performance libraries on Intel Graphics, ARM Mali GPU, and Nvidia integrated Maxwell GPU, our solution achieves similar, or even better (up to 1.62$times$), performance on a number of popular image classification and object detection models. In addition, our solution has a wider model coverage and is more flexible to embrace new models. Our solution has been adopted in production services in AWS and is open-sourced.
Finding or monitoring subgraph instances that are isomorphic to a given pattern graph in a data graph is a fundamental query operation in many graph analytic applications, such as network motif mining and fraud detection. The state-of-the-art distrib
uted methods are inefficient in communication. They have to shuffle partial matching results during the distributed multiway join. The partial matching results may be much larger than the data graph itself. To overcome the drawback, we develop the Batch-BENU framework (B-BENU) for distributed subgraph enumeration. B-BENU executes a group of local search tasks in parallel. Each task enumerates subgraphs around a vertex in the data graph, guided by a backtracking-based execution plan. B-BENU does not shuffle any partial matching result. Instead, it stores the data graph in a distributed database. Each task queries adjacency sets of the data graph on demand. To support dynamic data graphs, we propose the concept of incremental pattern graphs and turn continuous subgraph enumeration into enumerating incremental pattern graphs at each time step. We develop the Streaming-BENU framework (S-BENU) to enumerate their matches efficiently. We implement B-BENU and S-BENU with the local database cache and the task splitting techniques. The extensive experiments show that B-BENU and S-BENU can scale to big data graphs and complex pattern graphs. They outperform the state-of-the-art methods by up to one and two orders of magnitude, respectively.
