System noise, OS clock ticks, and fine-grained parallel applications
As parallel jobs get bigger in size and finer in granularity, “system noise” is increasingly becoming a problem. In fact, fine-grained jobs on clusters with thousands of SMP...

Crash fault detection in celerating environments
Failure detectors are a service that provides (approximate) information about process crashes in a distributed system. The well-known “eventually perfect” failure detector, 3P...

FLIGHT: clock calibration using fluorescent lighting
In this paper, we propose a novel clock calibration approach called FLIGHT, which leverages the fact that the fluorescent light intensity changes with a stable period that equals...

Distributed control diffusion: towards a flexible programming paradigm for modular robots
—A self-reconfigurable robot is a robotic device that can change its own shape. Self-reconfigurable robots are commonly built from multiple identical modules that can manipulat...

Compile-Time Analysis and Specialization of Clocks in Concurrent Programs
Abstract. Clocks are a mechanism for providing synchronization barriers in concurrent programming languages. They are usually implemented using primitive communication mechanisms a...
