Brief announcement: a lower bound for depth-restricted work stealing
Work stealing is a common technique used in the runtime schedulers of parallel languages such as Cilk and parallel libraries such as Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB). Depth-r...

Distributed algorithms for QoS load balancing
We consider a dynamic load balancing scenario in which users allocate resources in a non-cooperative and selfish fashion. The perceived performance of a resource for a user decre...

Weak graph colorings: distributed algorithms and applications
We study deterministic, distributed algorithms for two weak variants of the standard graph coloring problem. We consider defective colorings, i.e., colorings where nodes of a colo...

Locally scalable randomized consensus for synchronous crash failures
We consider bit communication complexity of binary consensus in synchronous message passing systems with processes prone to crashes. A distributed algorithm is locally scalable wh...

Brief announcement: low depth cache-oblivious sorting
Cache-oblivious algorithms have the advantage of achieving good sequential cache complexity across all levels of a multi-level cache hierarchy, regardless of the specifics (cache...

Optimizing transactions for captured memory
In this paper, we identify transaction-local memory as a major source of overhead from compiler instrumentation in software transactional memory (STM). Transaction-local memory is...
