Prof. Wojciech Golab z University of Waterloo odwiedzi Politechnikę Poznańską w piątek 29 maja br. i wygłosi seminarium w Instytucie Informatyki o godz. 13:15 w sali L 1.2.3 (Centrum Wykładowe i Biblioteka Techniczna). 

Serdecznie zapraszamy na to seminarium wszystkich zainteresowanych pracowników, studentów oraz doktorantów naszej uczelni. 

Gospodarzem i opiekunem wizyty jest dr hab. inż. Paweł T. Wojciechowski, prof. PP.

Abstract:

The emergence of persistent memory (PMEM) in recent years has created new opportunities to rethink classic algorithmic problems in the presence of crash-restart failures, and also new challenges as algorithm designers must account for both failures and concurrency. Since the CPU registers and cache layers remain volatile in modern memory hierarchies, data structures that reside in persistent memory can suffer corruption following a system crash and require careful recovery. This is especially difficult when data structure operations synchronize using atomic read-modify-write instructions (e.g., Compare-And-Swap) in the processor’s instruction set. Recent research has explored recovery techniques that assume more powerful software emulations of such instructions, inspired by the concept of detectability proposed by Friedman, Herlihy, Marathe, and Petrank. This talk will explore the unique technical challenges underlying the construction of detectable objects, as well as recent progress towards efficient and portable algorithms.

Short Bio:

Prof. Wojciech Golab earned his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Toronto in 2010. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Calgary, he joined Hewlett‑Packard Labs in Palo Alto as a Research Scientist in 2010. Since 2012, he has been a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo. His research interests center on concurrency and fault tolerance in distributed systems, with an emphasis on bridging theory and practice. He currently serves on the editorial boards of Information Processing Letters, Distributed Computing, and IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management.
