    FMplex: Model Virtualization for Serving Extensible Foundation Models

    Hetvi Shastri, Pragya Sharma, Walid A. Hanafy, David Irwin, Mani Srivastava, Prashant Shenoy

    cs.DC · cs.AI · cs.LG · cs.OS

    Foundation models (FMs) are increasingly used as backbones for downstream tasks across language, vision, time-series, and multimodal applications. Yet existing model-serving systems deploy each customized task as an independent model instance, thereby replicating heavyweight backbones, wasting accelerator memory, and losing opportunities to amortize batching and loading costs. This paper presents FMplex, a serving system that treats FM...

    Parent-Hash DAG: A Cost Analysis of Constant-Time Append for On-Chain Registries

    Ian C. Moore, Fernando Paredes Garcia

    cs.DC · cs.CR

    Provenance trees are append-only directed acyclic graphs of artifact registrations anchored on a public blockchain, recently introduced as the data substrate of operator-gated provenance infrastructure. Their defining data-structural pattern is a parent-hash directed acyclic graph (PHDAG), in which each append performs a constant number of storage writes to previously-untouched slots. This pattern has not previously been isolated as a...

    Coupling Complementary Simulations for Combined Performance and Energy Optimization

    Adel Dabah, Gregor Häfner, Sonja Happ, Simon Pickartz, Marcus Müller, Andreas Herten

    cs.DC

    Polymer simulations are among the most computationally demanding workloads in soft-matter research, often requiring days of execution and high energy consumption to achieve physically meaningful results. In this work, we address these challenges through the coupling and optimization of two complementary simulation frameworks: the Uneyama-Doi Model (UDM) and the SOft coarse-grained Monte Carlo Acceleration (SOMA). UDM efficiently propagates...

    Engineering Scalable Distributed List Ranking

    Peter Sanders, Matthias Schimek, Tim Niklas Uhl, Thomas Weidmann

    cs.DC · cs.DS

    The list ranking problem is one of the classical problems of parallel computing, with nontrivial algorithms and many applications as a subroutine for solving other problems. While it has been intensively studied in the early days of parallel computing, few things happened in the last 20 years. In particular, there is little work on scaling list ranking to large machines and input sizes. We reconsider list ranking starting from the...

    Resource-aware Computation-Communication Overlap for multi-GPU ML Workloads

    Minyu Cui, Miquel Pericas

    cs.DC · cs.AI

    The rapid growth of large-scale machine learning (ML) has made distributed training across multiple GPUs a fundamental component of modern ML systems. As model sizes and computational throughput continue to increase, communication overhead has become a dominant bottleneck in multi-GPU training, particularly when computation and communication are executed sequentially. This work explores concurrent execution of computation and collective...

    AutoPilot: Learning to Steer High Speed Robust BFT

    Liangrong Chen, Yue Zhang, Eric Zhou, Mohammad Javad Amiri, Ryan Marcus, Chenyuan Wu

    cs.DC

    Recent Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) protocols achieve strong performance by combining the low-latency advantages of leader-based BFT protocols with the high-throughput benefits of DAG-based data dissemination. Despite exposing a wide spectrum of internal tunable parameters, these protocols typically rely on static and heuristic configurations, which leads to performance degradation under dynamic workloads, heterogeneous network conditions,...

    Concepts in Practice: C++ MPI Bindings for the HPC Ecosystem. From a Standardizable Core to a Composable Interface

    Tim Niklas Uhl, Matthias Schimek, Daniel Brommer

    cs.DC

    The official C++ MPI bindings were removed from the standard in 2008, leaving a gap that numerous third-party libraries have attempted to fill. However, existing wrappers typically cover only a limited subset of MPI or target specific use cases, falling short of a general-purpose solution. A recent conceptual paper proposed general design principles for modern C++ bindings based on C++20 concepts, without committing to a concrete interface....

    Chimera: Protocol-Aware Recovery for Confidential BFT Consensus

    Tong Liu, Xiaoqing Wen, Ziwei Zhou, Si Liu, Jianyu Niu, Cong Wang, Yinqian Zhang

    cs.DC

    Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) have enabled confidential Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) consensus systems with confidentiality and improved scalability. However, TEEs do not provide state continuity: during recovery, a compromised host can roll back a crashed enclave to a stale persistent state, significantly threatening both safety and availability. Existing defenses face a fundamental tradeoff: they either impose substantial overhead...
