My research group has a new paper, “CRDT Emulation, Simulation, and Representation Independence”, appearing at ICFP this year! This project was headed up by my PhD student Nathan Liittschwager, with help from another PhD student in my group, Jonathan Castello, and our collaborator Stelios Tsampas. You can read our preprint (warts and all, but soon to be improved, thanks to feedback from the ICFP reviewers) on arXiv, but here’s a quick summary.| decomposition ∘ al
When it comes to large volume of data management, health in general and health informatics in particular are in the top of the list. In this post I’d like to bring the attention on how we can…| MeanMicio
Our paper on NetSenseML: Network-Adaptive Compression for Efficient Distributed Machine Learning has been accepted at the 31st International European on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par-2025). Abstract: Training large-scale distributed machine learning models imposes considerable demands on network infrastructure, often resulting in sudden traffic spikes that lead to congestion, increased latency, and reduced throughput, which would […]| Dirk Kutscher

One of the most pressing challenges facing today’s digital society is how to curb the relentless increase in the energy consumption of computing. Without major action, such an increase is even like…| SIGARCH
The point of failure is precisely where Web3 technology meets you and me. We must change our approach, not just to avoid failure, but to fully explore and expand the gifts of being human. The post Web3’s future #fail is avoidable appeared first on Philip Sheldrake.| Philip Sheldrake
Back in spring 2020, I was wrapping up the distributed systems course I was teaching, and for the last lecture, decided to spend a little time poking at the question of who actually invented vector clocks. Most people who need something to cite for vector clocks cite Friedemann Mattern’s “Virtual Time and Global States of Distributed Systems”, dated 1989 (although the workshop at which it originally appeared apparently actually took place in 1988), and Colin Fidge’s “Timestamps in M...| decomposition ∘ al

This month, I had the honor of giving a very personal talk about distributed computing systems at Sunday Assembly Silicon Valley, which had the theme of “Connected” for our August meeting. I’ve been an SASV member and volunteer for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve been the speaker.| decomposition ∘ al
