Reducing Cache Contention On GPUs
… to suffer from significant memory resource contention among threads. One cause of cache contention arises from column-strided memory access patterns that GPU applications commonly generate in many data-intensive applications. When such access patterns are mapped to hardware thread groups, …

Contention Bounds for Locking Computations
This thesis quantifies lock contention in multithreaded programs by expanding the theoretical model of task-parallel execution traces to account for mutual exclusion locks. While lock profiling and contention detection tools abound in software, empirical measurements of contention suffer from wide …

Contention-resilient overcommitment for serverless deployments
… higher levels of colocation increase the risk of contention. In container-based serverless systems, the high density of function containers—due to their small resource footprint—limits the benefits of overcommitment because it increases kernel scheduling overhead when managing large number of …

State, Dissidents, and Contention: Iran, 1979-2010
… decade of silence and "successful" crackdowns of contention during the 1980s has Iran witnessed once again waves of increasing popular protest? What are the processes and mechanisms behind the routinization of collective actions in Iran since the early 1990s, which continue despite state …

Bounds on contention management in radio networks
… is a theoretical approach for capturing the contention management issue in wireless networks; it assumes that processes are provided messages, one by one, that must be delivered to their neighbors. We study this problem in two theoretical models of wireless networks, the classical radio …

Distributed Resource Allocation in Contention-Based Wireless Networks
… MAC layer scheduling algorithms based on dynamic contention window control: DDA for delay assurance to realtime traffic, DBA for throughput assurance to realtime traffic, BEP for rate policing of best effort traffic and GCA for flexible and efficient bandwidth allocation of best effort traffic. …

Scalable, repeatable, and contention-free parallelization of traffic simulation
Tripod is a project funded by ARPA-E and partly carried on by the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Lab at MIT that aims to promote more energy efficient travel options by offering commuters incentives to make smart travel choices. These incentives depend on the current network state, and …

Fracturing Illinois: Fields of Political Contention in Hydraulic Fracturing Regulatory Policy
This dissertation examines the interactions between social movement organizations and a variety of state and municipal targets of movement activity during the construction of the Illinois Hydraulic Fracturing Regulatory Act (HFRA). Hydraulic fracturing is a controversial method of oil and gas …

Exploiting user contention to optimize proactive resource allocation in future networks
… mechanisms because it is now possible to express contention for resources in terms of: No Contention, Partial Contention and Full Contention. As network resources are shared between many users, resource management must be a key part of any communication system as it is needed to provide seamless …

Civil society strategies on urban waterways : stewardship, contention, and coalition building
Urban, industrial waterways-with their contamination, environmental injustice, and nebulous development futures given changing economies-present multiple problems that are confronted by environmental civil society organizations. Despite the many problems, these groups view urban waterways as some …

Real-Time Software Transactional Memory: Contention Managers, Time Bounds, and Implementations
… software, and present a suite of real-time STM contention managers for resolving transactional conflicts. The contention managers are called ECM, RCM, LCM, PNF, and FBLT. RCM and ECM resolve conflicts using fixed and dynamic priorities of real-time tasks, respectively, and are naturally intended …

Distributed Contention-Free Access for Multi-hop IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Sensor Networks
… network mode. This protocol provides reliable contention-free access in peer-to-peer topologies in a completely distributed manner. Assuming optimal routing, our simulation experiments reveal perfect delivery ratios as long as the traffic load does not reach or surpass its saturation threshold. …

Colonialism in contention: the 1874 and 1898 Siming gongsuo riots in Qing China
The 1874 and 1898 Siming gongsuo riots were two violent conflicts that occurred between a local commercial guild and the French authority in the French concession in Shanghai. Arguably, these two incidents were the greatest popular disturbances in the history of foreign concessions in Shanghai. …

Beyond the Movement: Contention, Affinities and Convergence in New York, Cairo and Paris
Amid the 2011 Arab Revolts, and the subsequent worldwide Occupy movement, social movement scholars faced sudden, powerful mass mobilisations without easily identifiable resources, networks, or forms of organisation underlying them. These instances of mobilisation beyond the scope of what we …
