text: A hybrid-parallel direct-numerical-simulation method with application to turbulent
Taylor-Couette flow is presented. The Navier-Stokes equations are discretized
in cylindrical coordinates with the spectral Fourier-Galerkin method in the axial
and azimuthal directions, and high-order finite differences in the radial direction.
Time is advanced by a second-order, semi-implicit projection scheme, which requires
the solution of five Helmholtz/Poisson equations, avoids staggered grids and renders
very small slip velocities. Nonlinear terms are evaluated with the pseudospectral
method. The code is parallelized using a hybrid MPI-OpenMP strategy, which, compared
with a flat MPI parallelization, is simpler to implement, allows to reduce inter-node
communications and MPI overhead that become relevant at high processor-core counts,
and helps to contain the memory footprint. A strong scaling study shows that the
hybrid code maintains scalability up to more than 20,000 processor cores and thus
allows to perform simulations at higher resolutions than previously feasible.
In particular, it opens up the possibility to simulate turbulent Taylor-Couette
flows at Reynolds numbers up to O(105). This enables to probe hydrodynamic turbulence
in Keplerian flows in experimentally relevant regimes.

text: "Considering a continuous self-map and the induced endomorphism on homology,
we study the eigenvalues and eigenspaces of the latter. Taking a filtration of
representations, we define the persistence of the eigenspaces, effectively introducing
a hierarchical organization of the map. The algorithm that computes this information
for a finite sample is proved to be stable, and to give the correct answer for
a sufficiently dense sample. Results computed with an implementation of the algorithm
provide evidence of its practical utility.\r\n"

text: The study of fluxoid states and fluxoid dynamics in mesoscopic iron-based
superconducting rings is valuable for characterizing the basic properties of the
superconductor, and may also provide important insight into the superconducting
paring symmetry. We report the fabrications of micron-sized rings and disks from
thin films of Fe(Se, Te) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. In order to study fluxoid
states in rings we developed a custom-tailored version of magnetic force microscopy
(MFM). This technique has a number of qualitative advantages for working with
mesoscopic superconducting samples in comparison to the conventional MFM and other
imaging techniques. We observed metastable fluxoid states in rings of different
sizes. Thermally activated fluxoid dynamics of these states was studied and modeled.
In addition, we found different regimes of interaction between Fe(Se, Te) ring
and MFM tip which are explained. Possibilities of the existence of exotic vortex
states and proposals for experiments to test the symmetry of the superconducting
order parameter in iron based superconductors are analyzed.

text: Mathematical models are of fundamental importance in the understanding of
complex population dynamics. For instance, they can be used to predict the population
evolution starting from different initial conditions or to test how a system responds
to external perturbations. For this analysis to be meaningful in real applications,
however, it is of paramount importance to choose an appropriate model structure
and to infer the model parameters from measured data. While many parameter inference
methods are available for models based on deterministic ordinary differential
equations, the same does not hold for more detailed individual-based models. Here
we consider, in particular, stochastic models in which the time evolution of the
species abundances is described by a continuous-time Markov chain. These models
are governed by a master equation that is typically difficult to solve. Consequently,
traditional inference methods that rely on iterative evaluation of parameter likelihoods
are computationally intractable. The aim of this paper is to present recent advances
in parameter inference for continuous-time Markov chain models, based on a moment
closure approximation of the parameter likelihood, and to investigate how these
results can help in understanding, and ultimately controlling, complex systems
in ecology. Specifically, we illustrate through an agricultural pest case study
how parameters of a stochastic individual-based model can be identified from measured
data and how the resulting model can be used to solve an optimal control problem
in a stochastic setting. In particular, we show how the matter of determining
the optimal combination of two different pest control methods can be formulated
as a chance constrained optimization problem where the control action is modeled
as a state reset, leading to a hybrid system formulation.

text: 'We consider concurrent mean-payoff games, a very well-studied class of two-player
(player 1 vs player 2) zero-sum games on finite-state graphs where every transition
is assigned a reward between 0 and 1, and the payoff function is the long-run
average of the rewards. The value is the maximal expected payoff that player 1
can guarantee against all strategies of player 2. We consider the computation
of the set of states with value 1 under finite-memory strategies for player 1,
and our main results for the problem are as follows: (1) we present a polynomial-time
algorithm; (2) we show that whenever there is a finite-memory strategy, there
is a stationary strategy that does not need memory at all; and (3) we present
an optimal bound (which is double exponential) on the patience of stationary strategies
(where patience of a distribution is the inverse of the smallest positive probability
and represents a complexity measure of a stationary strategy).'

text: Currently, there is much debate on the genetic architecture of quantitative
traits in wild populations. Is trait variation influenced by many genes of small
effect or by a few genes of major effect? Where is additive genetic variation
located in the genome? Do the same loci cause similar phenotypic variation in
different populations? Great tits (Parus major) have been studied extensively
in long‐term studies across Europe and consequently are considered an ecological
‘model organism’. Recently, genomic resources have been developed for the great
tit, including a custom SNP chip and genetic linkage map. In this study, we used
a suite of approaches to investigate the genetic architecture of eight quantitative
traits in two long‐term study populations of great tits—one in the Netherlands
and the other in the United Kingdom. Overall, we found little evidence for the
presence of genes of large effects in either population. Instead, traits appeared
to be influenced by many genes of small effect, with conservative estimates of
the number of contributing loci ranging from 31 to 310. Despite concordance between
population‐specific heritabilities, we found no evidence for the presence of loci
having similar effects in both populations. While population‐specific genetic
architectures are possible, an undetected shared architecture cannot be rejected
because of limited power to map loci of small and moderate effects. This study
is one of few examples of genetic architecture analysis in replicated wild populations
and highlights some of the challenges and limitations researchers will face when
attempting similar molecular quantitative genetic studies in free‐living populations.

text: Phenotypes expressed in a social context are not only a function of the individual,
but can also be shaped by the phenotypes of social partners. These social effects
may play a major role in the evolution of cooperative breeding if social partners
differ in the quality of care they provide and if individual carers adjust their
effort in relation to that of other carers. When applying social effects models
to wild study systems, it is also important to explore sources of individual plasticity
that could masquerade as social effects. We studied offspring provisioning rates
of parents and helpers in a wild population of long-tailed tits Aegithalos caudatus
using a quantitative genetic framework to identify these social effects and partition
them into genetic, permanent environment and current environment components. Controlling
for other effects, individuals were consistent in their provisioning effort at
a given nest, but adjusted their effort based on who was in their social group,
indicating the presence of social effects. However, these social effects differed
between years and social contexts, indicating a current environment effect, rather
than indicating a genetic or permanent environment effect. While this study reveals
the importance of examining environmental and genetic sources of social effects,
the framework we present is entirely general, enabling a greater understanding
of potentially important social effects within any ecological population.

text: Across-nation differences in the mean values for complex traits are common1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,
but the reasons for these differences are unknown. Here we find that many independent
loci contribute to population genetic differences in height and body mass index
(BMI) in 9,416 individuals across 14 European countries. Using discovery data
on over 250,000 individuals and unbiased effect size estimates from 17,500 sibling
pairs, we estimate that 24% (95% credible interval (CI) = 9%, 41%) and 8% (95%
CI = 4%, 16%) of the captured additive genetic variance for height and BMI, respectively,
reflect population genetic differences. Population genetic divergence differed
significantly from that in a null model (height, P < 3.94 × 10−8; BMI, P < 5.95
× 10−4), and we find an among-population genetic correlation for tall and slender
individuals (r = −0.80, 95% CI = −0.95, −0.60), consistent with correlated selection
for both phenotypes. Observed differences in height among populations reflected
the predicted genetic means (r = 0.51; P < 0.001), but environmental differences
across Europe masked genetic differentiation for BMI (P < 0.58).

text: High-performance concurrent priority queues are essential for applications
such as task scheduling and discrete event simulation. Unfortunately, even the
best performing implementations do not scale past a number of threads in the single
digits. This is because of the sequential bottleneck in accessing the elements
at the head of the queue in order to perform a DeleteMin operation. In this paper,
we present the SprayList, a scalable priority queue with relaxed ordering semantics.
Starting from a non-blocking SkipList, the main innovation behind our design is
that the DeleteMin operations avoid a sequential bottleneck by "spraying"
themselves onto the head of the SkipList list in a coordinated fashion. The spraying
is implemented using a carefully designed random walk, so that DeleteMin returns
an element among the first O(plog3p) in the list, with high probability, where
p is the number of threads. We prove that the running time of a DeleteMin operation
is O(log3p), with high probability, independent of the size of the list. Our experiments
show that the relaxed semantics allow the data structure to scale for high thread
counts, comparable to a classic unordered SkipList. Furthermore, we observe that,
for reasonably parallel workloads, the scalability benefits of relaxation considerably
outweigh the additional work due to out-of-order execution.

text: 'We introduce a principle unique to disordered solids wherein the contribution
of any bond to one global perturbation is uncorrelated with its contribution to
another. Coupled with sufficient variability in the contributions of different
bonds, this “independent bond-level response” paves the way for the design of
real materials with unusual and exquisitely tuned properties. To illustrate this,
we choose two global perturbations: compression and shear. By applying a bond
removal procedure that is both simple and experimentally relevant to remove a
very small fraction of bonds, we can drive disordered spring networks to both
the incompressible and completely auxetic limits of mechanical behavior.'

text: We study the vibrational properties near a free surface of disordered spring
networks derived from jammed sphere packings. In bulk systems, without surfaces,
it is well understood that such systems have a plateau in the density of vibrational
modes extending down to a frequency scale ω*. This frequency is controlled by
ΔZ = 〈Z〉 − 2d, the difference between the average coordination of the spheres
and twice the spatial dimension, d, of the system, which vanishes at the jamming
transition. In the presence of a free surface we find that there is a density
of disordered vibrational modes associated with the surface that extends far below
ω*. The total number of these low-frequency surface modes is controlled by ΔZ,
and the profile of their decay into the bulk has two characteristic length scales,
which diverge as ΔZ−1/2 and ΔZ−1 as the jamming transition is approached.

text: We present a model of soft active particles that leads to a rich array of
collective behavior found also in dense biological swarms of bacteria and other
unicellular organisms. Our model uses only local interactions, such as Vicsek-type
nearest-neighbor alignment, short-range repulsion, and a local boundary term.
Changing the relative strength of these interactions leads to migrating swarms,
rotating swarms, and jammed swarms, as well as swarms that exhibit run-and-tumble
motion, alternating between migration and either rotating or jammed states. Interestingly,
although a migrating swarm moves slower than an individual particle, the diffusion
constant can be up to three orders of magnitude larger, suggesting that collective
motion can be highly advantageous, for example, when searching for food.

text: 'In many applications, the data is of rich structure that can be represented
by a hypergraph, where the data items are represented by vertices and the associations
among items are represented by hyperedges. Equivalently, we are given an input
bipartite graph with two types of vertices: items, and associations (which we
refer to as topics). We consider the problem of partitioning the set of items
into a given number of components such that the maximum number of topics covered
by a component is minimized. This is a clustering problem with various applications,
e.g. partitioning of a set of information objects such as documents, images, and
videos, and load balancing in the context of modern computation platforms.Inthis
paper, we focus on the streaming computation model for this problem, in which
items arrive online one at a time and each item must be assigned irrevocably to
a component at its arrival time. Motivated by scalability requirements, we focus
on the class of streaming computation algorithms with memory limited to be at
most linear in the number of components. We show that a greedy assignment strategy
is able to recover a hidden co-clustering of items under a natural set of recovery
conditions. We also report results of an extensive empirical evaluation, which
demonstrate that this greedy strategy yields superior performance when compared
with alternative approaches.'

text: "The fact that a disordered material is not constrained in its properties
in\r\nthe same way as a crystal presents significant and yet largely untapped\r\npotential
for novel material design. However, unlike their crystalline\r\ncounterparts,
disordered solids are not well understood. One of the primary\r\nobstacles is
the lack of a theoretical framework for thinking about disorder\r\nand its relation
to mechanical properties. To this end, we study an idealized\r\nsystem of frictionless
athermal soft spheres that, when compressed, undergoes a\r\njamming phase transition
with diverging length scales and clean power-law\r\nsignatures. This critical
point is the cornerstone of a much larger \"jamming\r\nscenario\" that has the
potential to provide the essential theoretical\r\nfoundation necessary for a unified
understanding of the mechanics of disordered\r\nsolids. We begin by showing that
jammed sphere packings have a valid linear\r\nregime despite the presence of \"contact
nonlinearities.\" We then investigate\r\nthe critical nature of the transition,
focusing on diverging length scales and\r\nfinite-size effects. Next, we argue
that jamming plays the same role for\r\ndisordered solids as the perfect crystal
plays for crystalline solids. Not only\r\ncan it be considered an idealized starting
point for understanding disordered\r\nmaterials, but it can even influence systems
that have a relatively high amount\r\nof crystalline order. The behavior of solids
can thus be thought of as existing\r\non a spectrum, with the perfect crystal
and the jamming transition at opposing\r\nends. Finally, we introduce a new principle
wherein the contribution of an\r\nindividual bond to one global property is independent
of its contribution to\r\nanother. This principle allows the different global
responses of a disordered\r\nsystem to be manipulated independently and provides
a great deal of flexibility\r\nin designing materials with unique, textured and
tunable properties."

text: Several Hybrid Transactional Memory (HyTM) schemes have recently been proposed
to complement the fast, but best-effort nature of Hardware Transactional Memory
(HTM) with a slow, reliable software backup. However, the costs of providing concurrency
between hardware and software transactions in HyTM are still not well understood.
In this paper, we propose a general model for HyTM implementations, which captures
the ability of hardware transactions to buffer memory accesses. The model allows
us to formally quantify and analyze the amount of overhead (instrumentation) caused
by the potential presence of software transactions.We prove that (1) it is impossible
to build a strictly serializable HyTM implementation that has both uninstrumented
reads and writes, even for very weak progress guarantees, and (2) the instrumentation
cost incurred by a hardware transaction in any progressive opaque HyTM is linear
in the size of the transaction’s data set.We further describe two implementations
which exhibit optimal instrumentation costs for two different progress conditions.
In sum, this paper proposes the first formal HyTM model and captures for the first
time the trade-off between the degree of hardware-software TM concurrency and
the amount of instrumentation overhead.

text: 'The concurrent memory reclamation problem is that of devising a way for a
deallocating thread to verify that no other concurrent threads hold references
to a memory block being deallocated. To date, in the absence of automatic garbage
collection, there is no satisfactory solution to this problem; existing tracking
methods like hazard pointers, reference counters, or epoch-based techniques like
RCU, are either prohibitively expensive or require significant programming expertise,
to the extent that implementing them efficiently can be worthy of a publication.
None of the existing techniques are automatic or even semi-automated. In this
paper, we take a new approach to concurrent memory reclamation: instead of manually
tracking access to memory locations as done in techniques like hazard pointers,
or restricting shared accesses to specific epoch boundaries as in RCU, our algorithm,
called ThreadScan, leverages operating system signaling to automatically detect
which memory locations are being accessed by concurrent threads. Initial empirical
evidence shows that ThreadScan scales surprisingly well and requires negligible
programming effort beyond the standard use of Malloc and Free.'

text: 'Population protocols are networks of finite-state agents, interacting randomly,
and updating their states using simple rules. Despite their extreme simplicity,
these systems have been shown to cooperatively perform complex computational tasks,
such as simulating register machines to compute standard arithmetic functions.
The election of a unique leader agent is a key requirement in such computational
constructions. Yet, the fastest currently known population protocol for electing
a leader only has linear convergence time, and it has recently been shown that
no population protocol using a constant number of states per node may overcome
this linear bound. In this paper, we give the first population protocol for leader
election with polylogarithmic convergence time, using polylogarithmic memory states
per node. The protocol structure is quite simple: each node has an associated
value, and is either a leader (still in contention) or a minion (following some
leader). A leader keeps incrementing its value and “defeats” other leaders in
one-to-one interactions, and will drop from contention and become a minion if
it meets a leader with higher value. Importantly, a leader also drops out if it
meets a minion with higher absolute value. While these rules are quite simple,
the proof that this algorithm achieves polylogarithmic convergence time is non-trivial.
In particular, the argument combines careful use of concentration inequalities
with anti-concentration bounds, showing that the leaders’ values become spread
apart as the execution progresses, which in turn implies that straggling leaders
get quickly eliminated. We complement our analysis with empirical results, showing
that our protocol converges extremely fast, even for large network sizes.'

text: 'Population protocols, roughly defined as systems consisting of large numbers
of simple identical agents, interacting at random and updating their state following
simple rules, are an important research topic at the intersection of distributed
computing and biology. One of the fundamental tasks that a population protocol
may solve is majority: each node starts in one of two states; the goal is for
all nodes to reach a correct consensus on which of the two states was initially
the majority. Despite considerable research effort, known protocols for this problem
are either exact but slow (taking linear parallel time to converge), or fast but
approximate (with non-zero probability of error). In this paper, we show that
this trade-off between preciasion and speed is not inherent. We present a new
protocol called Average and Conquer (AVC) that solves majority ex-actly in expected
parallel convergence time O(log n/(sε) + log n log s), where n is the number of
nodes, εn is the initial node advantage of the majority state, and s = Ω(log n
log log n) is the number of states the protocol employs. This shows that the majority
problem can be solved exactly in time poly-logarithmic in n, provided that the
memory per node is s = Ω(1/ε + lognlog1/ε). On the negative side, we establish
a lower bound of Ω(1/ε) on the expected paraallel convergence time for the case
of four memory states per node, and a lower bound of Ω(logn) parallel time for
protocols using any number of memory states per node.per node, and a lower bound
of (log n) parallel time for protocols using any number of memory states per node.'

text: 'In this work, we consider the following random process, mo- Tivated by the
analysis of lock-free concurrent algorithms under high memory contention. In each
round, a new scheduling step is allocated to one of n threads, according to a
distribution p = (p1; p2; : : : ; pn), where thread i is scheduled with probability
pi. When some thread first reaches a set threshold of executed steps, it registers
a win, completing its current operation, and resets its step count to 1. At the
same time, threads whose step count was close to the threshold also get reset
because of the win, but to 0 steps, being penalized for almost winning. We are
interested in two questions: how often does some thread complete an operation
(system latency), and how often does a specific thread complete an operation (individual
latency)? We provide asymptotically tight bounds for the system and individual
latency of this general concurrency pattern, for arbitrary scheduling distributions
p. Surprisingly, a sim- ple characterization exists: in expectation, the system
will complete a new operation every Θ(1/p 2) steps, while thread i will complete
a new operation every Θ(1/2=p i ) steps. The proof is interesting in its own right,
as it requires a careful analysis of how the higher norms of the vector p inuence
the thread step counts and latencies in this random process. Our result offers
a simple connection between the scheduling distribution and the average performance
of concurrent algorithms, which has several applications.'

text: 'The problem of electing a leader from among n contenders is one of the fundamental
questions in distributed computing. In its simplest formulation, the task is as
follows: given n processors, all participants must eventually return a win or
lose indication, such that a single contender may win. Despite a considerable
amount of work on leader election, the following question is still open: can we
elect a leader in an asynchronous fault-prone system faster than just running
a Θ(log n)-time tournament, against a strong adaptive adversary? In this paper,
we answer this question in the affirmative, improving on a decades-old upper bound.
We introduce two new algorithmic ideas to reduce the time complexity of electing
a leader to O(log∗ n), using O(n2) point-to-point messages. A non-trivial application
of our algorithm is a new upper bound for the tight renaming problem, assigning
n items to the n participants in expected O(log2 n) time and O(n2) messages. We
complement our results with lower bound of Ω(n2) messages for solving these two
problems, closing the question of their message complexity.'
